ICA hooks up with Silicon Valley player

By Walker Duncan Posted on August 20, 2009 at 1:13 pm

Local health care information technology venture Informatics Corp. of America has inked an OEM partnership with Silicon Valley tech firm Mark Logic.

This partnership will support the meaningful use of the ICA Electronic Health Record (EHR) solution and advance population health management techniques for hospitals and integrated delivery networks, which include Health Information Exchanges (HIEs), regional health information organizations (RHIOs), and other statewide initiatives.

Of the deal, ICA chief technology officer Jeff Cunningham said:

As a result of this partnership, ICA expands its ability to enrich, search, navigate, analyze, and dynamically deliver aggregated healthcare content across patient populations. This is a key differentiator for ICA, and of critical importance to our customers who will be able to take data from any source or format and make the information more usable in combination with the Mark Logic platform.

ICA teams with CDS to offer EHRs to John Q. P

Nashville’s Informatics Corp. of America announced today that it has joined forces with South Carolina-based Companion Data Services to market a new combined product that will:

offer heath care consortiums and state agencies the capability to electronically move clinical information among disparate health care information systems and facilitate access to and retrieval of clinical data to provide higher quality, patient-centered care.

ICA’s CEO Gary Zegiestowsky said of the partnership:

The ability to deploy systems that add value to long-term investments in existing health care information technology is crucial, and the collective capabilities of ICA and CDS represent a powerhouse of resources.

OK, the new “solution” mentioned in this announcement isn’t being marketed to individuals, but it made the acronym joke work.
