New York RHIO employs Axolotl for clinical exchange services

HealtheLink, a western New York clinical information exchange, has selected Axolotl to deploy and maintain an infrastructure for the electronic exchange of clinical information among healthcare providers, insurers and other medical professionals.
   
The Mountain View, Calif.-based Axolotl said that HealtheLink will use its Elysium to connect community healthcare participants and provide an electronic shared system of clinical information.

HealtheLink is a not-for-profit organization focused on clinical initiative, which has seven charter members, comprising four major health systems and hospitals and three health plans in the state of New York.

New York state’s HEAL NY is partially funding the regional health information organization (RHIO), which will include more than 10 hospitals and health systems, three health plans, public health and more than 1,000 physicians.
