Boise, ID (May 23, 2017)<\/em> \u2014 Kno2, the company that optimizes patient document exchange for everyone in health care, today announced a partnership agreement with BlueStrata EHR, a developer of affordable, cloud-based, software as a service (SaaS) clinical and financial electronic health record (EHR) solutions for the long-term post-acute care (LTPAC) industry.<\/p>\n

BlueStrata EHR will integrate Kno2\u2019s interoperability platform into its EHR to enable swift, secure exchange of patient documentation between hospitals and their LTPAC provider clients. The initial implementation, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of May, will incorporate Kno2\u2019s Direct messaging and cloud fax capabilities into the EHR and further optimize clinician workflows. Deployment of Kno2\u2019s document query, leveraging the Carequality Interoperability Framework, will follow shortly thereafter, giving clinicians and LTPAC providers a full range of electronic document exchange options to help them efficiently and securely share vital information about their mutual patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the industry moves toward the value-based care model, we are building a greater understanding of the importance of care transitions and the need to share timely, accurate patient information between provider settings,\u201d said Tony Coco, president of BlueStrata EHR. \u201cOur long-term care (LTC) clients recognize that interoperable electronic document exchange is essential to delivering higher quality care to their residents and strengthening their business partnerships with local hospitals. Kno2\u2019s solution makes it easy to accomplish both goals. It is easy to implement and offers a cost-effective path for all of our LTC users to rapidly connect, which makes Kno2 the ideal partner for this important initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n

As hospitals and other healthcare organizations increase their participation in risk-sharing alternative payment models, the ability to seamlessly exchange patient documentation becomes a financial\u2014as well as a clinical\u2014imperative. Hospitals are increasingly showing a preference for referring patients to LTPAC facilities that have patient data exchange capabilities to ensure that providers have a holistic view of all the care their patients are receiving. Given that most of even the sickest patients\u2019 care will be provided outside the four walls of the hospital, having the ability to easily incorporate that external care into hospital-based EHRs aids clinicians in making better-informed treatment decisions, especially in emergent situations. It also allows hospitals to meet the mandates for electronic transmission of information during transitions of care, as specified under the Advancing Care Information (ACI) program, formerly known as Meaningful Use.<\/p>\n

Through Kno2\u2019s simple APIs, virtually any EHR has the ability to integrate extensive healthcare data exchange capabilities\u2014within just weeks instead of months. Affordable integration and access to the nation\u2019s leading information networks have been key drivers of Kno2\u2019s expansion within the LTPAC technology vendor sector. Additionally, LTC solution companies, including BlueStrata EHR, are realizing that while satisfying the growing demand for affordable electronic document exchange, they are also gaining an important market differentiator by ensuring that their clients stay in stride with eligible hospitals and eligible providers\u2014protecting current referrals, as well as attracting new ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to EHRs and interoperability, the LTPAC community is playing catch-up,\u201d said Jon Elwell, CEO of Kno2. \u201cThey were left behind when Meaningful Use was introduced because the Affordable Care Act didn\u2019t require them to implement an EHR, unlike hospitals and physician offices. BlueStrata EHR\u2019s cost-effective technology addresses that LTC gap, empowering those organizations to embrace the benefits of electronic record-keeping and improve their care coordination. We\u2019re proud to join with BlueStrata EHR to take this important next step of enabling patient records to be securely and quickly shared with all providers throughout the care continuum, further enhancing patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n
