Stretching from Massachusetts to California, the new accounts build on Halfpenny's proven Integration Technology Framework (ITF) for delivering turn-key interfaces between hospitals and laboratories, and the physician EMR systems that require Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) and structured results reporting to meet Meaningful Use (MU) criteria as defined in the ARRA HITECH stimulus legislation.

“During the past three years, Halfpenny has completed 2,000 lab to EMR interface projects and connected more than 100 EMR vendors for our 75 hospital and lab clients via our ITF platform”
