The partnership will extend preferred pricing options to current and potential customers and will allow the two companies to explore platform interoperability strategies.

AccessPt provides a central viewpoint for multiple hospital information systems using web browser and portal technologies, while MercuryMD provides data through mobility programs. The combined offerings of the two firms will mean that hospitals will be able to access electronic medical records (EMR) on both mobile devices and the clinical desktop.

Alan Ying, CEO for MercuryMD, commented: This partnership benefits hospitals by focusing on the different workflow needs of mobile and workstation-based clinicians to most efficiently deliver the best patient care.
