Healthix Improves Care for Over 16 Million Patients with NetApp
October 10 2017 - 8:00AM
NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP), empowering its customers to change the world
with data, today celebrates Healthix, the largest public health
information exchange in the United States. A data visionary,
Healthix is breaking through traditional barriers by providing
instant and continuous access to data to improve care for over 16
million New York City and Long Island patients.
“The ability to quickly move, manage, and protect data is at the
core of our business, and makes a direct and immediate difference
in people’s lives,” said Healthix Chief Information Officer, Todd
Rogow. “NetApp gives us the performance we need to reliably move
huge volumes of data in and out at real-time speed, which in turn
enables us to quickly deliver data to caregivers when and where
they need it.”
Healthix enlisted NetApp as a strategic partner to build a
nondisruptive solution for sharing patient data among unrelated
healthcare organizations, while remaining compliant with patient
privacy laws and regulations. In addition, Healthix needed a
solution that would support data aggregation for patient
populations and performance, as well as power and support the
analytics engines that update risk scores every night for 16
million patients.
With its new solution in place, Healthix can connect hundreds of
caregivers in nearly 1,500 facilities across New York City and Long
Island, and can integrate with every commonly used electronic
health record (EHR) system, including Epic and Cerner, to send and
receive protected patient information in real time. This
collaboration and integration enables physicians affiliated with
different hospitals to access a patient’s essential medical history
and receive real-time alerts on patient health conditions, such as
admissions or discharges from hospital emergency rooms, with the
consent of the patient.
The data management solution also enables emergency room
physicians in different facilities to use Healthix to retrieve a
patient’s medical history, including medication lists and
allergies, to help them determine whether they are dealing with an
existing problem or a new issue. “If I go to the emergency room, an
alert will go out to my primary care physician, and they can call
right away and say, ‘Hey, I know Todd. I treat him every day, and I
have his care plan,’” said Rogow. “Bringing together caregivers in
real time is very powerful.”
Working with NetApp, Healthix is well positioned to process its
monthly 50 million messages and 750,000 information requests in
real time, as well as manage exponential data growth for the
foreseeable future.
