UMass Memorial Health Care selects Initiate Interoperable Health software

Initiate Systems, a provider of master data management solutions, has announced that UMass Memorial Health Care of Worcester, Massachusetts, has selected its Initiate Interoperable Health software to provide a unified, system-wide view of more than 4.5 million patient records.

With Initiate Interoperable Health at the foundation of its interoperability initiative, UMass Memorial Health Care will be able to provide physicians with anywhere access to complete patient medical records through the dbMotion Solution, an advanced interoperability and portal solution, said Initiate Systems.

Initiate Systems said that Initiate Interoperable Health is a set of solutions that infuses higher-quality information into healthcare processes, driving informed decisions, increased efficiencies and reduced costs.

George Brenckle, senior vice president and chief information officer of UMass Memorial Health Care, said: Initiate Interoperable Health is a key part of our strategy to create enterprise-wide electronic medical records and a single clinical data repository from data located across numerous IT environments and care facilities. We selected Initiate because of its proven track record of linking large numbers of patient records from multiple disparate systems and for its ability to manage information about other entities like providers, members and organizations.
