dbMotion announces contract awards with numerous healthcare organizations

dbMotion, an innovative provider of connected healthcare solutions, announced contract awards with numerous healthcare organizations including Orlando Health; University Hospitals of Cleveland, Ohio; Sharp Healthcare and Huntington Memorial Hospital in 2010, underscoring the company's accelerated growth among providers seeking to achieve genuinely connected healthcare. dbMotion's partnership with Allscripts provides connectivity in the community with third party systems.

With these new contracts, dbMotion now delivers interoperability solutions to more than 100 hospitals and 2,000 ambulatory clinics globally - ranging from community hospitals to major integrated delivery networks (IDN) to academic medical centers - and spanning inpatient, outpatient and homecare electronic health record (EHR) solutions.

"We are gratified by the confidence these new clients have shown in the dbMotion™ Solution," says Peter McClennen, President of dbMotion North America. "Like so many other healthcare organizations, they are seeking technologies that will accelerate their progress towards effective enterprise health information exchange (HIE). We believe our focus on point-of-care workflows and data semantics will empower physicians and help them deliver superior care along the entire continuum."

The partnership with Allscripts was expanded in 2010 to increase joint development activities comprising the entire portfolio of Allscripts products. The Allscripts Community Record, powered by dbMotion, is now preconfigured for all Allscripts ambulatory, acute and home health EHR solutions. This enables providers throughout client health systems to access HIE technology that facilitates coordinated, connected care.

"Interoperability is essential to the delivery of high quality, cost-effective care" said Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts. "Our partnership with dbMotion enables Allscripts to uniquely offer health organizations the ability to integrate information from disparate systems in a meaningful way."
