Business Wire
Quovadx, Inc. (Nasdaq: QVDX), a global software and vertical
solution company, today announced its Integration Solution
division�s (ISD) role in the Accenture-led team that developed a
fully integrated health information system prototype. The Accenture
solution, which works with legacy clinical systems, is a
significant step toward building an interoperable, standards-based
network. Quovadx ISD, as part of the Accenture-led team, provided
its clinical interoperability solution, leveraging flagship
Cloverleaf� Integration Suite technology to support secure
interoperability, and its Secure Object Client to facilitate
physician office connectivity for the networked community. Quovadx
also provided implementation services for each of these
technologies. �We are extremely proud to be working alongside
Accenture and the other consortium members to create an integrated
health information system prototype as part of the Nationwide
Health Information Network (NHIN) program,� said Harvey A. Wagner,
chief executive officer, Quovadx. �At Quovadx, we feel strongly
that clinical data sharing can help improve patient safety and the
quality of care while reducing healthcare costs, and we are excited
to be part of Office of the National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology (ONCHIT) initiative to facilitate
interoperability between healthcare organizations and advance this
cause.� The Accenture prototype shows that patient data can be
extracted from disparate information systems and converted to a
common language that enables sharing between physician offices,
medical laboratories, hospitals and other clinical settings �
offering a �single view� of a patient�s�medical information. This
approach, which allows the industry to build on existing
investments in legacy provider systems, allows rapid implementation
of a secure infrastructure to facilitate data sharing. In November
2005, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services awarded a
contract to Accenture to lead the development of a prototype
network for secure information sharing among healthcare communities
in West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, northeastern Tennessee and
southwestern Virginia. This region has a wide variety of clinical
systems among different provider organizations, much like the
majority of the United States. About Accenture Accenture is a
