Kryptiq Unveils New Tools for Secure Healthcare Communication and Online Patient Services
New SDKs for CareCatalyst™ and Kryptiq Gateway™ Enable Organizations to Add Connectivity Quickly and Easily
Portland, Ore.– February 26, 2007 – Kryptiq Corporation, the leading provider of workflow and connectivity solutions for healthcare, today announced the release of Software Development Kits (SDKs) for its CareCatalyst and Kryptiq Gateway products. The new SDKs offer healthcare IT vendors, large provider groups and Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) a powerful set of development tools for building secure messaging technology, patient authentication and patient portal features into other applications or portals.
Kryptiq’s SDKs offer these groups all the functionality of Kryptiq’s secure messaging and patient portal products in easy to implement components, enabling the direct integration of proven connectivity technologies with existing products and portals. IT vendors can use this to incorporate secure messaging and online patient services within their own applications, while provider groups and IDNs can use the SDKs to cost effectively extend their existing applications or consumer portals. These technologies have been integrated into solutions from GE Healthcare, Sage Software, and MedcomSoft, and are now being adopted by a growing number of IDNs as a component of their enterprise portal strategies.
“Kryptiq’s mission is to provide a set of tools that enable organizations to unlock the value trapped in outdated methods of healthcare communication, such as mailing lab results or faxing patient information,” said Luis Machuca, president and CEO of Kryptiq. “The addition of the SDKs to our suite of solutions provides another powerful way of enabling organizations to take advantage of the benefits of secure data mobility, today.”
