LUMEDX Corporation, a leading provider of fully integrated medical imaging and information systems, is offering Enabling the EHR, a complimentary new white paper about how software systems that capture data at the granular level and integrate easily with other systems enable meaningful use of certified Electronic Health Records (EHRs). By demonstrating meaningful use, medical providers can fulfill one of the chief requirements of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (HITECH Act) for increased funding.

The paper explains:
1. How interoperable, vendor-neutral systems support patient safety, care quality and cost containment.
2. How cardiology and other specialties require comprehensive, granular data and images to address important questions about quality of care not currently answered by EHRs.
Enabling the EHR also details the ways three leading healthcare systems are utilizing their cardiovascular information systems (CVIS) to enrich and enable the patient electronic health record:
- Sutter Health, California
- Virginia Mason Medical Center, Washington
- Gundersen Lutheran Health System, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa
“It takes an ecosystem to enable meaningful use, multiple technologies working and communicating with each other,” says LUMEDX Director of Marketing Randy Lasnick. “We want to show how this becomes possible, how hospitals can take a piece of a medical record—an incredibly important piece of the health record—and widely distribute across geographic boundaries, across the enterprise, to clinics and doctors’ offices, all the places that need it, without losing any of the rich clinical information.”
