Nightingale Electronic Health Record system to offer expanded
capabilities for patient engagement and activation through an interface
to NexJ Connected Wellness
TORONTO, March 25, 2014 /CNW/ - NexJ Systems Inc. (TSX: NXJ), a provider of cloud-based software delivering
enterprise solutions to the financial services, insurance,
and healthcare industries, and Nightingale Informatix Corp., one of
North America's largest cloud-based Electronic Health Record (EHR)
companies, today announced an agreement to integrate NexJ Connected Wellness with the Nightingale On Demand EHR system.
NexJ Connected Wellness is a cloud-based solution that is used by
healthcare providers to activate patients so they can proactively
manage their chronic conditions. The solution enables access to patient
health information, improves care coordination through the delivery of
patient-friendly shared care plans and, with personal health coaching, supports self-assessed biometrics and feedback from a health coach to
drive sustainable behavior change.
NexJ Connected Wellness will allow Nightingale's clients to offer
patients access to copies of their health information from
Nightingale's EHR and give them the ability to share it with their care
team, as well as family, friends, and care advocates. Nightingale's
clients will be able to create and deliver shared care plans and
provide improved support for patients in meeting their health and
wellness goals with personal health coaching.
"For people to effectively take an active role in managing their health
and wellness it is fundamental that they have access to their health
information. When people understand their health conditions and are
coached to take a more responsible role in their own health and
wellness, their outcomes and quality of life improve," said Eric
Gombrich, Senior Vice President & General Manager, NexJ Health
Solutions. "We make it possible for Nightingale's clients to empower
their 8 million patients to become healthier".
"NexJ is a proven innovator that is taking a leadership position in the
movement towards a people-centered healthcare model and we are pleased
to be teaming with them in effecting this transformation," said Trevor
Henderson, Executive Vice President, Operations of Nightingale.
"Having successfully gained traction with our next-generation EHR
systems, we are excited to broaden our offerings and deliver further
value to our clients and their patients."
Nightingale and NexJ have identified a pilot site for this new
capability and have started integrating their respective solutions for
deployment during the next quarter.
