eHealth
Global and Henry Ford Health System
Sign Agreement for Medical Records
Management Services
December
11 , 2007
ROCHESTER, NY, December 11, 2007
- eHealth Global Technologies,
Inc., an industry-leading provider
of medical records management
services, is pleased to announce
that it has reached an agreement
to provide its eHealthConnectTM
service to clinical departments
within Henry Ford Health System
of Detroit, Michigan. Henry Ford
Health System is a six-hospital
health system anchored by the
903-bed tertiary care Henry Ford
Hospital and is affiliated with
1,800 private practice physicians
throughout southeast Michigan.
" Patients referred to
transplantation, oncology and
other specialties frequently
require external referring physician
medical records. To assure continuum
of care, these records are an
important part of the internal
Electronic Medical Record when
diagnosing a patient. eHealth
Global's assistance in assuring
the records are available when
patient arrives will improve
the service our patients receive.
We no longer have to reschedule
a patient if the records are
not obtained or require the
patient to obtain on their own."
stated Marianne Beach, Transplant
Administrator at Henry Ford
Hospital.
Through the eHealthConnectTM
service, eHealthGlobal's clinical
customer support team will collect
and digitize medical records
and images upon request from
providers who are referring
patients to Henry Ford Health
System. All medical records
will then be transferred directly
into Henry Ford's CarePlus Electronic
Medical Record system, while
images will be transferred directly
to the department's PACS or
Image Viewing system of choice.
All data will be transferred
via a secure and private network
connection.
"The eHealthConnect service
brings patient information to
the point-of-care where it is
needed most to positively impact
the patient care delivery process,"
said Ken Rosenfeld, President,
eHealth Global. "The result
is more timely, efficient care
that can reduce the facility's
cost to obtain medical records
and more importantly, potentially
save the patient from duplicate
or unnecessary procedures."
