Medicom Enables Care Coordination with Commercial Healthcare Providers – A Growing Need as a Result of the Mission Act

Since enacted in 2018, the Mission Act has increased veterans' access to healthcare in the community. While the Mission Act has been lauded as a significant step forward in giving veterans access to healthcare services in the private sector, it has also created many clinical and administrative challenges. Medical images and diagnostic results are often couriered to and from the VA on CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs, resulting in considerable delays in diagnoses and continuity of care, as well as costs to the VA estimated at $163-181 million per year, nationally.

Medicom's federated platform solves these interoperability challenges with its secure, proprietary Network which enables indexing, search, and retrieval of information in a decentralized manner. Via Medicom's platform, healthcare providers such as the VA can retrieve requested images and reports from community providers electronically through temporary encrypted conduits and seamlessly induct the data into their existing healthcare IT record systems, such as an EMR or PACS.

The Medicom platform brings a patient's complete medical history into a search-oriented user-interface and simplifies the health information search and retrieval process for patients, providers, and third parties alike by creating an efficient and straightforward user experience.

Sanford Health, one of the nation's largest health care systems, recently published how Medicom's Health Information Network has enabled better care for the veterans in its community.

'"The providers that are wanting to view the information or view the imaging. It's at their fingertips. It's there," Paul Burud, Executive Director for Sanford Heart Fargo, says'.

About Medicom
Medicom operates a federated health information network of over 2,000 connected organizations across the United States. The Medicom Network enables providers, patients, and life science institutions to search, access, and share relevant health information that resides across disparate IT ecosystems. By having the ability to search and identify critical health information across patient populations, clinicians and researchers have the necessary insights to advance patient care and accelerate the development of new therapies.

Required Disclosures

In compliance with CFR § 852.203-70, Medicom declares that statements made herein do not imply that the Department of Veterans Affairs approves or endorses the Contractor's products or services or considers the Contractor's products or services superior to other products or services.
