Overview:

Hospitals are challenged to provide best-in-class technology services at economically viable price-points. IGI has partnered numerous hospitals and hospital vendors to design, develop and implement strategic initiatives which improve the quality of patient care.

IGI specializes in connecting information systems from a series of disparate, isolated islands into a homogenous network which accurately and rapidly provide information to where it is needed most. We have partnered with Intel to pioneer connectivity which will easily allow hospital's affiliated physicians to access their patients electronic health information in a seamless manner.

Representative Engagement


An East Coast state was evaluating how they could reduce the paperwork and manual processing for hospitals operating throughout the state for inter- and intra- facility transfers.   IGI was selected to partner with multiple state agencies to develop an electronic universal transfer form (UTF) that could be utilized for discharging patients.  The initial beta program was a paper-based solution that was tested in five regions during 2008.
 
In parallel with the paper-based pilot, IGI worked to create an electronic version of the tool.  A pilot entity volunteered to pilot the new solution during Q1/2009.

As the pilot progresses, stakeholders will evaluate trends and examine utilization of the UTF to prepare a comprehensive evaluation. The end-state vision is to implement the UTF statewide for all entities licensed by the state regulatory agencies for use when discharging and/or transferring patients to other healthcare settings.
