DALLAS and COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 13,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CRISP, the designated health
information exchange (HIE) covering patients across Maryland and the District of Columbia, today announced the
expansion of its technical integration with ADVault, Inc., the
global leader in digital advance care planning. First
integrated over five years ago, the new deployment incorporates the
latest in global healthcare data content and transport standards
allowing CRISP partner hospitals to automatically receive real-time
advance care planning information created by the individual.
This information, previously not found or inefficiently created at
the scene of a health crisis, has been proven to guide providers
and patients into more meaningful encounters and improved
outcomes.
ADVault's MyDirectives® platform is the first global,
free-to-consumer cloud service allowing people to digitize their
healthcare goals by creating a digital advance care plan
or uploading an advance care plan, advance directive or
portable medical order such as POLST or MOLST. MyDirectives
also encourages users to attach audio files and video messages --
dubbed the Most Unselfish Selfie™ -- to help make sure
there is clarity around the person's intent and expression.
In addition to HIEs, ADVault's enterprise services team works with
health insurance plans, providers and medical record partners to
help doctors access those documents when necessary so people
can have their voice heard in their care.
"Our prior work with ADVault required healthcare providers to
manually access a secure portal and run a query to retrieve a
patient's advance care plan," said Ryan
Bramble, Senior Product Director at CRISP. "Now, we
automatically deliver patient advance care planning information
in-context, regardless of the EHR, at the point of care."
Mike Munoz, ADVault's Director of
Product said "CRISP's upgrade to our repository helps providers get
information critical to patient care. This improvement drives
to the core of our mission: that people live with confidence their
voice can be heard in their care, even if they can't communicate at
that time."
CRISP Chief Operating Officer Brandon
Neiswender and ADVault CEO Jeff
Zucker issued a joint statement that "This is important
progress for the citizens of Maryland and the medical professionals that
serve them. We look forward to integrating even more
enhancements in the near future, keeping Maryland at the forefront of values-based
care."
