Verizon Announces Cloud EMR Platform

The Verizon Health Information Exchange service allows doctors and healthcare providers to store, manage and share patients' electronic medical records via an online portal regardless of IT systems and specific protocols.
“ Healthcare has had the most advanced technologies available, but all in diagnosis and treatment.
Michael Matthews, CEO of MedVirginia
 ”

Called the Verizon Health Information Exchange, the service, which was introduced July 14, is geared toward helping healthcare delivery organizations bypass several steps on the way to adopting EMRs.

Verizon hopes to capture a variety of customers by providing a hosted infrastructure that can store the patient records of small offices with three physicians or less, as well as large scale medical facilities with several hundred doctors and tens of thousands of patients.
