Medlio and PatientLink Enterprises Win Allscripts Open API Patient Engagement Challenge
August 10 2016 - 8:01AM
Today, Allscripts (NASDAQ:MDRX) announced Medlio and PatientLink
Enterprises as the winners of the Allscripts Open API Patient
Engagement Challenge. Allscripts launched the competition this
summer to encourage innovation that will help healthcare
organizations address the patient engagement through API
connectivity requirements of Meaningful Use Stage 3.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid’s
Meaningful Use Stage 3 (MU3) program requires hospitals and
providers to supply a minimum of one application, connected through
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that allow their patients
to access their health information. The goal is to spur innovation
to better engage patients in their care, and provide them with
access and control over their health information.
There were more than 20 submissions for the
Challenge, which was judged by a panel of Allscripts clients and
executives. Winners were awarded a cash prize and the opportunity
to demo their apps at the Allscripts Client Experience this month
in Las Vegas.
First-place winner Medlio, a virtual health
insurance card for digital check-ins, makes it easy for patients to
use their smartphone to check-in, aggregate clinical and
patient-generated data, and ensure up-front price transparency.
Patients can see up-to-date health insurance benefits information,
find doctors, pharmacies and hospitals near them, and pay directly
from their mobile device.
Challenge runner-up PatientLink Enterprises
connects doctors, researchers, and patients through its easy to
navigate application, MyLinks. The application simplifies the
patient’s process of requesting and organizing health information
from all providers. The application also allows patients to opt-in
for research requests and enables researchers to send customized
questionnaires to interested patients. Patients can also securely
connect with their full care team and family…all in one secure
location.
“Allscripts is excited to partner with Medlio
and PatientLink to deliver innovative patient engagement
applications to hospitals and providers,” said Allscripts Chief
Innovation Officer, Stanley Crane. “The Challenge was born from our
philosophy that healthcare innovators are everywhere and that
tomorrow’s game-changing healthcare tools will not be built by one
company, but collectively by many.”
The award-winning Allscripts Developer Program
(ADP) puts this philosophy into practice and facilitates the easy
integration of third-party applications and devices with Allscripts
EHR and practice management solutions. ADP has more than 150
applications and devices built on Allscripts Open APIs, which have
achieved 1.65 billion data shares since 2013.
