FORT WORTH, TX – Sandlot, a wholly owned subsidiary of North Texas Specialty Physicians located in Fort Worth, Texas, has gone live with a health information exchange and integrated electronic medical record platform that links providers in the Tarrant County area.

Hospitals, doctors and other healthcare providers in the Tarrant County area share patient medical information through SandlotConnect, an interoperable health information exchange.

Sandlot's HIE is powered by Irving, Texas-based Healthvision's Cloverleaf Integration Services, a technology that provides for the exchange of information among various software applications, data repositories and information technology systems within and outside an enterprise. The services give clinicians, administrators, staff and external partners the power to share clinical, financial and administrative data in real-time.

"Healthvision products have seamlessly worked together to provide a solid platform to serve up patient data as requested," said Telly Shackelford, chief executive officer for Sandlot. "Our healthcare providers are embracing the efficiencies they are experiencing via our HIE."

Sandlot's HIE allows physicians on an Allscripts EMR to talk to a physician on a NextGen EMR.

Healthvision's technology leverages Initiate Master Data Service and Initiate Identity Hub to link patient data stored in different systems to create a consistent and comprehensive view of patients.

"Healthvision is proud to play an integral role within Sandlot's health information exchange," said Russell Fleischer, Healthvision's chief executive officer. "Our interoperability solutions continue to provide solid foundations that organizations can build on to improve operational efficiencies and patient care."
