Organized by Maimonides Medical Center and other healthcare organizations in New York, the BHIX is a not-for-profit corporation that will offer health information exchange services in Brooklyn, New York's most populous borough.
BHIX will employ the services of MedPlus, the healthcare information technology subsidiary of Madison, N.J. -based Quest Diagnostics Inc. BHIX officials say the MedPlus system will enable physicians and other healthcare workers to collect, manage and share patient information in real time from Internet-enabled locations across the BHIX's 11 partner organizations.
"Technology can optimize patient care, minimize the risk of medical errors, and reduce administrative and other operating costs," said Pamela Brier, president of Maimonides Medical Center and chairwoman of the board of directors of the BHIX. "Our goal for the BHIX is to provide exceptional patient care and service through the strategic deployment of technology."
