HIMSS Conference & Exhibition --
Covisint Corporation COVS, provider of the leading cloud engagement
platform, today expanded its healthcare platform globally to support the
growing international need for secure health information exchange. Covisint
signed a five-year strategic partnership with the Indonesian-based Aptus
Pacific Indonesia in the debut of Covisint's global healthcare expansion.
The international market poses both unique challenges and opportunities in
providing healthcare quality measurement, claims administration and service
delivery. Poor healthcare automation systems often result in expensive and
inefficient workflows that cause delays in care delivery and reimbursement.
Leveraging the Covisint platform, Aptus will deploy Health Information
Exchange Indonesia, a flexible solution that will meet health provider and
payer organizations where they already are in their technology adoption – a
critically important factor in international markets.
Together, Aptus and Covisint will automate inefficient processes in the
insurance, hospital and physician markets as a first step in health
information exchange for Indonesia, which is predicted to grow to the world's
seventh-largest economy by 2030 (up from 16^th today). The Indonesian market –
which is reflective of many Asian-Pacific regions – represents a robust growth
opportunity for technology due to a rapidly expanding middle class and the
need for an improved healthcare delivery system supporting large and growing
populations.
The Covisint and Aptus partnership will provide the expertise and ability to
meet rigorous international regulations and privacy standards that will drive
increased efficiency across the healthcare value chain, including serving:
* Care delivery organizations and physicians, who will gain the ability to
improve workflow automation, reducing time to reimbursement and
administrative costs while enabling organizations to invest more time and
money back into patient care.
* Payer organizations, who will now be able to automate communications with
providers for improved efficiency. Currently communications between payer
and providers are processed via phone, fax or currier transport of medical
and administrative records. Moving message-handling to electronic
workflows means improved profit due to efficiency with higher provider and
beneficiary satisfaction.
* Patients, who will enjoy greater efficiency in handling claims and
timeliness of care delivery, leading to better care and higher patient
satisfaction.
"Given the state of technology adoption in Indonesia, the Covisint platform
provides a timely, high-value solution driving the automated, secure and
efficient exchange of health information into a market where, previously,
manual operations existed," said Almer Joesoef, President Director of Aptus
Pacific Indonesia. "The Covisint platform – which is proven across the U.S.
healthcare industry, as well as other global industries – will enable us to
achieve a major corporate priority to improve the quality and efficiency of
healthcare services. We will be marketing and implementing Health Information
Exchange Indonesia to support public and private health systems and insurance
markets across Indonesia."
"Healthcare globally depends on secure, scalable and effective communication
between providers, payers and others across the entire care continuum," said
Dave McGuffie, Covisint CEO and President. "This partnership – built on Aptus'
cultural and political understanding of the Indonesian healthcare market,
combined with Covisint's proven and scalable technology platform – will
deliver significant value to the Indonesian market. Covisint will continue to
work with key customers and partners to expand its healthcare footprint
globally."
Covisint delivers high value to accountable care stakeholders by supporting a
comprehensive health information technology roadmap that helps improve health
outcomes, increases efficiencies and fills the gaps left by existing
technology investments. Covisint's agnostic platform, which works with or
without an existing EMR system, enables the free, secure flow of information
with the customer in full control, helping healthcare providers and payers
maintain data independence and control.
