CHICAGO, June 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ProMedica, headquartered in Toledo, OH has extended its investment in Allscripts (NASDAQ: MDRX) by adding the dbMotion™ interoperability platform to enhance its Accountable Care Organization (ACO) and to enable a foundation for population health management. Allscripts acquired dbMotion in March 2013.
The dbMotion platform will enable ProMedica Physicians to harness the data in their hospitals' EHR system, their health plan, Paramount, and the ambulatory practices' Allscripts Enterprise™ system for real-time, retrospective and prospective analytics and reporting throughout the ACO. The dbMotion interoperability platform facilitates effective management of the patient populations while also providing actionable feedback to physicians and care coordinators based on evidence-based protocols.
"Having a comprehensive web-based clinical integration tool that allows for storage, real-time reporting and analytics is required for moving forward with accountability and responsibility in healthcare decision making," said ProMedica Chief Medical Officer and President of ProMedica Physicians and Continuum Services Lee Hammerling. "dbMotion will assist in our understanding of healthcare utilization drivers and help us develop information systems and analytics that capture utilization patterns and allow for effective interventions by providers."
Toledo, Ohio-based ProMedica is a not-for-profit healthcare organization with 11 hospitals and more than 310 facilities. The integrated delivery network owns a health insurance company, Paramount, and operates ProMedica Physicians which employs 563 physicians/providers.
"Allscripts is providing solutions that will help ProMedica meet the changing and future needs of healthcare," said Paul M. Black, President and Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts.
