WISHIN Partners With Medicity Wisconsin Pulse Moves Forward

WISHIN is the Wisconsin State Wide Health Information Network.  WISHIN is the Wisconsin designated authority for health information exchange which was approveded by the Federal Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology in 2010. Essentially WISHIN is a non profit organization formed by the Wisconsin Hospital Association, Wisconsin Medical Society, Wisconsin Collaboration For Health Care Quality, and the Wisconsin Health Information Organization.

WISHIN has partnered (contracted for service) with Medicity a company that uses technology to enhance information exchange. Medicity has a mailing address of 56 East Broadway, Suite 100, Salt Lake City Utah, 84111.  Medicity facilitates the structure of information technology to enable health care providers access to patient records any time and any where. 

WISHIN pulse is the name applied to this new process.  This helps health care providers securely share patient information as a way to improve clinical service and manage clerical administrative costs.  The power of this process lies in the ability of health care systems to share information beyond their network walls.  Giving an out of network health care provider immediate access to the patients medical record puts more control back in the individuals hands.

With this process in place a patient in Wisconsin can better navigate fragmented health provider networks and access the needed treatment and care in a timely manner.  Medical data collected by a local medical clinic owned by a large health insurance corporation can now flow freely through the interoperation of technology supporting electronic health records.

Wisconsin health providers can now get timely access to recorded past visits to better help the patient. Home Care Path encourages Wisconsin citizens to continue to watch for changes that can improve our health care service.
