The healthcare group of Harris Computer Systems has acquired Uniphy Health Systems LLC, which offers a clinical communication and collaboration platform.
Herndon, Va.-based Harris said that with the addition of the Uniphy Health Communications Platform, it can now offer its clients new ways to improve care coordination and physician and patient engagement. Newark, N.J.-based Uniphy Health's EHR-agnostic mobile and desktop apps reach more than 90,000 clinicians at providers such as Hackensack Meridian Health, UNC Health Care, Catholic Health Services of Long Island and BayCare.
"Uniphy Health's mission-critical solutions have demonstrated a unique ability to solve healthcare's complex communication challenges,” said Santina Allen, senior executive vice president for the Harris Healthcare group, in a statement. “The Uniphy Health clients have achieved impressive levels of user adoption. We are anxious to bring this solution to other healthcare systems looking improve patient outcomes and high-value performance metrics,"
In 2017 Uniphy unveiled UH4, an enterprise-wide platform for hospitals, clinics and healthcare facilities. it said UH4 enables all enterprise communications applications to share data and functionality.
At the time Uniphy said UH4 enabled:
· Patient-centric communications: UH4 helps connect and coordinate all members of the care team, regardless of location, around the needs of the patient.
· Real-time patient-centric data: UH4 interfaces with third-party data and applications including EHRs, HIEs, financial data, CRM systems, charge capture, mobile forms and more.
· Performance metrics and insights: With UH4, organizations can capture and report detailed performance data throughout the patient experience.
· Accelerated clinical workflows: The company said UH4 streamlines clinical workflows and automates manual processes, meaning providers can spend more high-value time focused on direct physician- and nurse-to-patient interaction.
