Carefx Introduces Fusion From Carefx(TM), First Patient Information Aggregation Platform for Healthcare Providers

Carefx Corporation today announced Fusion from Carefx(TM), the first Patient Information Aggregation platform designed to simplify access to patient data. Carefx also revealed its new brand identity. Sleek, direct and intuitive, the new Carefx brand identity directly maps to the value inherent in Fusion from Carefx(TM) and mirrors what clinicians and hospital IT executives are saying about the platform.

Growing Patient Information Quagmire

Hospitals have spent millions purchasing, deploying and maintaining clinical applications to help improve the delivery of care. All are mission- critical, and in a perfect world, they would be integrated. Because they are not, clinicians spend a third of their time rummaging through a maze of disparate applications for important patient data.

Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions have eliminated many workflow redundancies by streamlining a clinician's log-in process, but alone do not address a clinician's need to navigate multiple applications to locate patient data. Hospitals are seeking a solution that simplifies real-time, integrated access to a selected patient's clinical information wherever it may reside.

Changing the Game

Fusion from Carefx(TM) provides healthcare organizations with an alternative to the heavy lifting of back-end data integration. Rather than spending millions replacing applications, incurring inordinate interface costs or abandoning legacy investments, hospitals can deploy Fusion from Carefx(TM) which leverages the existing IT environment and aggregates patient information at the user-interface level. Fusion from Carefx(TM) is an open and scalable platform, making it the preferred aggregation solution of industry leaders including CA, Cerner, GE Medical Systems, IBM, McKesson, Novell and Siemens Medical Solutions.

"Our company is committed to the important mission of simplifying access to patient information. Fusion from Carefx meets that challenge, aggregating data in real time and empowering clinicians to make informed decisions," said Andrew Hurd, chairman and CEO of Carefx.

Customers Embracing Fusion from Carefx(TM)

Carefx continued its dynamic growth in 2005, expanding its client roster to nearly 200 hospitals, including a number of facilities that have switched from competitive platforms.

"Healthcare IT professionals are managing sophisticated and complex environments that require open and scalable solutions. They know that Fusion from Carefx will give them the agility and flexibility that closed, proprietary solutions simply can't," said Hurd.
