Tuesday, October 07, 2008
Clinical and Administrative Information Now Securely Available at a Single Electronic Hub, Driving Better, More Cost Effective Healthcare
DETROIT, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware Corporation
(Nasdaq: CPWR) today announced that its Covisint subsidiary has inked an
agreement with several physician organizations across Southeast Michigan to
electronically connect doctors to patient information via a single, secure
framework. The electronic exchange, My One Health Information Exchange
(my1HIE, pron: my-one-he), will connect several thousand physicians treating
the majority of S.E. Michigan's five million residents.

Physician organizations forming this partnership include United
Physicians, Olympia Medical Services and Continuum Management Services. My1HIE
physicians will have immediate access to real-time patient information --
including labs and eligibility -- as well as access to applications like
e-prescribing that help them deliver better care more cost effectively.
"Michigan led the industrial age with manufacturing, and now we are
driving the healthcare adoption of technology -- with physicians and their
patients at the core," said Dr. Steven Grant, M.D., F.A.C.P., President and
CEO, United Physicians. "This Covisint partnership, now in its third year,
gives us a great opportunity to make technology available and advance
physician adoption. It is no secret that electronic tools, such as electronic
prescribing, eliminate errors and improve patient care. It has also given us
perspective on the marriage of healthcare and technology, and this coming
together of multiple physician organizations statewide is precisely where
healthcare and technology need to meet."
Covisint will provide the secure platform powering this healthcare
exchange that brings together data from many different sources onto one
digital dashboard. And, regardless of how many systems each caregiver
accesses, with Covisint, only a single, secure sign-on is required, freeing
the physician to concentrate on patient care.
"For the first time ever, Michigan physicians will have a single-point of
access to all of the clinical and administrative information they need to do
their jobs," said Randall Bickle, DO, JD, CPE, President and Medical Director,
Olympia Medical Services. "This will have a monumental impact in improving how
we deliver patient care."
Importantly, my1HIE physicians can keep all of their current technology
since Covisint handles the interoperability, regulatory, administrative and
help-desk issues associated with connecting multiple systems. The network is
flexibly designed to enable future functionality such as disease management,
imaging and connectivity with existing and future regional health information
exchanges and other state agencies.
"This convergence addresses getting key information to where the majority
of care is being delivered...in the physician office," said Brett Furst, Vice
President of Healthcare for Covisint. "You can expect to see more of this kind
of ground-breaking work from Covisint as we continue to securely connect
entire healthcare communities everywhere."
Covisint's on-demand collaboration platform helps virtual communities
securely access, use and share time sensitive information. Covisint solves
business problems by streamlining and automating processes globally --
connecting state and nationally based communities, organizations and systems
in the healthcare, automotive and financial services industries, as well as
the public sector. Learn more about Covisint at www.covisint.com .
