who we serve
healthcare providers
From medical treatment centers and case management to counseling services and specialty practices, these organizations play a critical role throughout a patient’s lifetime. Having access to the patient’s medical history enables better care.
patients
Our goal is to connect the healthcare community so that patients like you are not tasked with transporting medical information, saving you from repeated tests, and allowing your provider to collaborate with other providers in real-time as necessary.
community
Our population health improvement objectives help people use data to address significant community health concerns. We engage and interact with healthcare and patient communities through various events, volunteer activities, and other charitable efforts.
