Misys Connect®: The Catalyst Behind the Community
What is Misys Connect?
Misys Connect is the driver that enables the foundation of a Connected Healthcare Community. It is the first data sharing solution on the market to operate using the profiles and framework standards of the Integrating the
Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) initiative.
With Misys Connect you can:
- Leverage ambulatory EMR integration between practices.
- View vital healthcare information about patients cared for in the hospital, combined with patient information garnered in-clinic.
- Enable patients to take critical medical information from one healthcare provider to another, ensuring continuity of care, increased patient safety and improved outcomes.
- Encourage community physicians to send more patients, knowing they can better track the care of their patients.
Why is Misys Connect Better?
Misys Connect is based upon the open-system strategy that many agree is the key to interoperability. An open, standards-based, scalable architecture for information exchange eliminates the need for expensive private networks constructed with complex point-to-point interfaces. Health IT experts demand a national open architecture, and Misys is perfectly aligned with this thinking.
Misys Connect fully supports a decentralized system rather than a monolithic, centralized approach. The use of a centralized master database creates privacy, security, and authorization issues. By keeping data decentralized, privacy and security are better protected and better controlled by the owners of the data.
Misys Connect brings together—in one offering—the open environment of portal providers with a powerful, comprehensive enterprise solution. The result is the catalyst that makes the entire Connected Healthcare Community possible.
"At Forrest General Hospital, Misys Connect will provide clear and sustained benefits to our patients and the healthcare professionals who treat them. Providing the right information to caregivers at the time of diagnosis will help us achieve a higher level of patient care. It will also increase patient satisfaction levels, as our community sees that its providers immediately know who they are and what care has been provided to them."—Dr . William Peters, Vice President of Medical Affairs for Forrest General Hospital.
