Cloud EHR Provider Royal Solutions Group Deploys CPOE, HIE-as-a-Service and Patient Portal for Brio San Antonio
Royal Solutions Group LLC, provider of EHR-as-a-Service solutions to the Healthcare industry, recently deployed Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) coupled with its well-established Patient Portal and HIE-as-a-service model at Brio San Antonio, a diagnostic imaging center in San Antonio, TX. The Report Guard® product is the backbone of the HIE platform, working behind the scenes to connect to external EMR systems without the use of a Virtual Private Network, or VPN. Royal Solutions Group CMO, Rafal Pisarski says: “Eliminating the necessity for VPN eliminates cost and maintenance, as well as a common point-of-failure between interoperable systems. When your VPN fails, your communication fails. Much like financial systems today, patient medical information cannot afford downtime.” Royal’s centralized connectivity options now expedite communication, automate workflows between systems and allow for information sharing that was otherwise a manual process. This combination of security, software innovation, flexible integration with existing workflows and a wide range of information management options deliver unbeatable ROI and interoperability.
