dbMotion’s technology will provide a platform for UPMC’s clinicians to securely access integrated patient information across its 19 hospitals and 400 outpatient sites and doctors’ offices, without replacing existing systems.
Semantic interoperability – which integrates clinical information from disparate systems – is quintessential for attaining excellence in patient safety and quality of care, said UPMC CIO Dan Drawbaugh.
The platform will enable UPMC’s physicians to have current, relevant patient information and advanced decision support tools at the point of care.
Spun off in 2004 from Ness Technologies, dbMotion’s technology is already widely deployed in Israel’s health system, but UPMC will be one of dbMotion’s first US customers.
