MedLink (OTCBB: MLKNA), a leading provider of health information
technology solutions to the medical community announced today the
formation of the New York Health Information Network as a
collaboration with Thrasys, Inc. a provider of next-generation
health information technology and solutions. The New York Health
Information Network (NYHIN) will be the first of many regional
health information networks to be deployed by MedLink and Thrasys
under a Connected Healthcare initiative launched by the two
companies earlier this year. Connected Healthcare and regional
health information networks will enable communities of physicians,
patients, service centers, and health plans to coordinate care,
manage costs, increase revenues, improve outcomes and enhance
patient experience.
The New York Health Information Network will provide
interoperability, applications and services using the cloud-based
SyntraNet connected healthcare platform from Thrasys. SyntraNet
provides an open foundation for highly scalable collaborative
healthcare networks. The New York Health Information Network will
implement a health information exchange to meet interoperability
requirements for 'Meaningful Use' and deliver a range of
applications and services: electronic health records, practice
management services, e-prescribing, group purchasing, insurance and
eligibility verification, remote charge capture, physician quality
reporting, patient portals, and services to enable accountable care
organizations and patient medical homes.
Ramesh Balakrishnan, CEO of Thrasys, stated, "The New York
Health Information Network is a first step in our vision to use
disruptive technologies to enable a new model for collaborative
care. Our goal with Connected Healthcare is to evolve an open
healthcare platform that provides core interoperability,
applications and services and also enables third-parties and
partners to offer a range of add-on solutions. This kind of open,
connected and collaborative technology platform is the necessary
foundation to support initiatives currently underway to coordinate
care, improve outcomes and manage costs. With more than $500m in
HITECH funding for HIE initiatives, we will continue to partner
with communities of physicians, hospitals, service center, and
health plans to implement showcases for the future of
healthcare."
Ray Vuono, CEO of MedLink, continued, "The Health information
Network provides a financial benefits for the NYHIN partners
including Providers, establishing a revenue model through member
based services for as little as $500 per member annually. The
products and services are provided by healthcare vendors and
service providers that leverage the platform to provide their
services to HIN population of physicians, medical facilities, and
patients; providing a Web 2.0 healthcare super highway income model
similar to that of the iPhone Apps marketplace or
Salesforce.com."

New York healthcare law firm, commented, "The New York Health
Information Network will enable physicians to level the playing
field and have access to core health care products and services
critical to success in this rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
As physicians join this Network, the quality of the products and
services will expand exponentially making available the best of
breed applications and services due to substantial Vendor
commitment to grow within the Network. I expect this network to
grow beyond NY State and become a nationally connected Network
enuring to the benefit of patients and physicians alike and greatly
enhancing our federal government's health law reform
initiative."
