Two healthcare technology service providers have partnered to deliver patient and doctor video capabilities to Electronic Health Record systems (EHRs) for follow-up care.
MI7, an Austin, Texas-based digital health company offering software solutions for EHR integration, and ReelDx, of Portland, Oregon, which provides a cloud-based platform that enables video solutions in a variety of healthcare software applications, announced the partnership and, in so doing, said they will focus on follow-up care as the patient leaves the medical facility with medvid.io, ReelDx's HIPAA-compliant video management system, paired with Q, MI7's software.
Q enables real-time access to follow-up instructions alongside the ReelDx video of the doctor's directions. The instructions can be placed within a patient portal or in a mobile application.
In addition, patient-generated data and video can be transmitted back into the patient's chart at the hospital and all associated medical facilities using Q, the companies said. In many cases, the patient needs to record video of their recovery progress, where medvid.io stores the video and links to it within the patient's chart for the doctor's review alongside the other patient generated data.
"Working with MI7 is a natural fit for ReelDx," Bill Kelly, CEO and co-founder of ReelDx, said in a statement. "When our customers use medvid.io to capture and store video of telemedicine sessions or live interactions between patient and provider, they want that video to show up in their normal workflow. MI7 makes that happen in EHRs and patient portals."
Q provides software developers with a cost-effective solution for exchanging patient data with EHRs using JSON. Q allows a healthcare software company to eliminate the need for costly and insecure Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) while at the same time using modern technologies for communication.
"Our partnership with ReelDx brings the technologies together regardless of whether the patient is at the hospital, doctor's office, or in their home." said Zac Jiwa, CEO of MI7.
