ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 3, 2010 – Lawson Software today announced that Fremont Area Medical Center signed a contract to implement Lawson Enterprise Exchange to help establish the health center’s planned Health Information Exchange (HIE). Lawson Enterprise Exchange helps healthcare organizations create a single source of patient data and records across all care settings – from primary care physicians and clinics to specialists to hospital care. It helps health systems, hospitals and community care providers electronically move clinical information between disparate healthcare information systems, while maintaining the integrity of patient information. The contract was signed during Lawson’s first quarter of fiscal 2011, which ends Aug. 31, 2010. Lawson Enterprise Exchange is a product now available through Lawson following the company’s January 2010 acquisition of Healthvision.
