US-based clinically integrated health network Rush Health has adopted InterSystems’ HealthShare interoperability platform for collaborative care coordination.
With the new platform, Rush Health will be able to implement a private health information exchange (HIE), which will provide a complete view of the patients’ records to its hospital, physician and affiliate members across the care continuum from within their electronic health record (EHR).

Rush Health CEO Brent Estes said: “Implementation of our HIE is critical to Rush Health’s transition to value-based care.
“It will serve as the hub for all care coordination activities, triggered by real-time monitoring of quality, resource use and cost.”
Rush Health has found that clinicians need to access all the patient data to understand what is happening with a patient.
After evaluating several vendors, Rush Health selected HealthShare as it offers better solution as a centralised health information hub and enabled all stakeholders to use their own EHR systems for exchange of information.
