eTrust Single Sign-On provides secure, simplified access to multiple applications that allows hospital staff fast and efficient access to patient information while facilitating HIPAA security compliance. Additional applications for the clinical departments will be integrated over the next several weeks.ĬA has certified Fusion as interoperable with eTrust Single Sign-On, a core component of its industry-leading identity and access management solutions. This initial deployment took just six weeks from start to finish. LVHHN has implemented the Fusion Desktop solution to integrate GE IDX LastWord and the McKesson Horizon patient folder for coders in the health information management department and GE IDX ImageCast and GE IDX LastWord for technicians and support staff in the radiology department. After a clinician logs into an individual application and selects a patient, Fusion automatically finds and links related patient information in various applications which facilitates navigational effectiveness, increasing patient safety.

With Fusion, data is aggregated at the user-interface level, removing the cost-intensive, resource-draining effort of back-end data integration.

With Fusion, in a short period of time, we were able to implement and deploy an integrated solution, at a reasonable expense level. LVHHN initially installed a competing solution to address the time-to-data issue, but soon found that due to its proprietary architecture, it lacked the flexibility needed to meet our requirements and expectations. "We were looking to implement a solution to decrease the access time-to-data as a means to assist our physicians with diagnosing and treating their patients. "LVHHN is committed to enterprise-wide integration and to providing best-of-breed technologies so our clinicians and staff can deliver the highest level of care," states Harry Lukens, LVHHN senior vice president and CIO.

LVHHN is one of the largest and oldest licensed teaching hospitals in Pennsylvania and one of the first "true" digital hospitals in the nation, meaning it makes full use of the latest computerized technology to improve care and ensure patient safety. By toggling between applications, with patient context sharing, the potential of incorrectly identifying patients between applications is greatly reduced. This, in-turn, will improve patient safety and boost clinician efficiency.įully integrated with CA's eTrust Single Sign-On solution, Fusion streamlines the clinician's workflow and reduces the potential for error by presenting patient medical data in various applications throughout the network. Carefx provides physicians, coders and support staff with access to vital patient information in a unified view from many workstations in the 800+ bed network.
