eHealth Global and MedCommons Form Alliance to Improve the Interoperability of Medical Record Management Services

ROCHESTER, N.Y., February 24, 2008- eHealth Global Technologies, Inc., an industry-leading provider of patient medical records management services, and MedCommons, Inc. a continuity of care record (CCR) compliant healthcare appliance vendor, have entered into a technology alliance that will provide eHealth Global's clients with a CCR-compliant solution for accessing and viewing referred patient records and images over the internet.

eHealth Global's portfolio of services are centered around the collection, digitization and access to medical records and images on behalf of referred patients to tertiary care facilities, specialty clinics and community-based health networks with disparate record management systems. eHealth Global's eHealthChart™, which incorporates the MedCommons technology, provides CCR-standard based access to a patient's health information, including unique capabilities to manage imaging and PDF documents.

"The alliance with MedCommons provides another option for our clients to access the records and images that we collect on their behalf. With eHealthChart, we can deliver the records we collect for secure online viewing, or direct integration and access via our customer's existing information systems, such as an EMR or Radiology PACS," stated Ken Rosenfeld, President and Acting-CTO of eHealth Global, "The CCR Standard is an important step toward driving full functionality and interoperability of medical records for clinical access wherever and whenever needed."

Adrian Gropper, MD, chief science officer, MedCommons, stated that "eHealth Global's use of the MedCommons appliance further demonstrates how the leveraging of the CCR standard, online consent gathering, along with Web 2.0 technology, can improve the access, communication and security needed to make patient medical records available to clinicians and care givers exactly when they are needed. We are excited to have eHealth Global as a partner to further lower the barriers to real-world healthcare information exchange."
