Iatric Systems Announces New FlexButtonTM Application to Bring Third-Party Patient Data into the EHR Workflow
FlexButton streamlines workflow by putting patient data at clinicians’ fingertips
BOXFORD, MA – January 10, 2017 – To help streamline clinical workflows, Iatric Systems, Inc., today launched FlexButton™, expanding its robust suite of solutions aimed at increasing access to patient data. FlexButton works with an array of EHR systems, alerting clinicians to key patient information in various healthcare IT systems and bringing it into the EHR workflow so clinicians avoid the burden of managing multiple sign-ons and passwords.
With the recent proliferation of disparate healthcare IT solutions that hospitals and providers depend on daily, Iatric Systems used its more than 25 years of extensive integration experience to create a solution that easily exchanges data between disparate systems without disrupting workflow or increasing data entry. This allows care providers to access the same patient’s information on third-party systems directly from the EHR, making clinician workflows more efficient and allowing clinicians to spend more time with patients.
With its inherent flexibility, FlexButton delivers vital patient data to providers when and where they need it most. Data is presented through seamless links to patient screens on other systems, pulling data from those systems into the provider’s EHR.
FlexButton lets clinicians and healthcare organizations streamline care delivery by:
- Enabling certain actions to trigger pop-ups and alert caregivers to critical patient conditions or information from other solutions, which helps users provide better, timely, and more efficient patient care.
- Avoiding the need to re-authenticate when accessing third-party solutions from within the EHR system.
Injecting data and information from third-party vendor systems into the healthcare workflow.
An early adopter of FlexButton, 222-bed Ephraim McDowell Health, in Danville, Kentucky, quickly reported streamlining clinician access to cross-platform patient data.
“The ability to see patient data and images for a specific Medical Record Number (MRN) residing in other systems right from our EHR is invaluable to our clinicians for continuation of patient care,” said Becky Blevins, Information Services Project Manager at Ephraim McDowell Health. “FlexButton is saving our clinicians a lot of time because they don’t have to exit the EHR and log in to another system and search for that MRN. We also appreciated Iatric Systems working on a workflow to meet our clinicians’ needs so they can focus on caring for patients.”
“The number of technologies hospitals and clinicians rely on to streamline workflows and improve care outcomes has exploded, creating data silos. It’s challenging for clinicians to access this data easily, yet it’s critical for patient care,” said Frank Fortner, President of Iatric Systems. “We employed our clinical workflow integration expertise to develop a solution that eliminates these frustrations and allows clinicians to have a plethora of data at their fingertips. The possibilities for leveraging FlexButton are endless, and we are thrilled to already see workflow and clinician satisfaction improvements at Ephraim McDowell. This exciting and nearly immediate success is what we expect to see with other healthcare organizations that adopt FlexButton.”
