Ecognize To Launch Employee and Patient Health Portal

Health Portal integrates patients, providers, and corporations towards leveraging Information-based medicine

Ecognize LLC, the leader in portal based healthcare solutions, today announced the planned release of its web based secure Health Portal hosted offering in November 2005. This portal will bring together providers, patients/employees, and corporations to leverage Information-based medicine to improve medical outcomes and quality of healthcare.

Health Portal will integrate with Ecognize’s Remedi healthcare platform - Practice Management and EMR software, as well as other applications in the healthcare ecosystem. Remedi is an Intranet/Extranet based platform for physician practices, billing companies, and hospitals with facilities for appointment scheduling, billing, and medical records.

"Health Portal will be initially made available for doctors practices and hospitals as a value added capability for their patients. There are distinct ROI savings that the providers can leverage to improve their business productivity as well as medical outcomes," said Dr. Umesh Harigopal, President and CEO of Ecognize. "We expect to add several knowledge on demand services in 2006 to make this a key component of the RHIO (Regional Health Information Organization) healthcare model."
