Kryptiq Announces Major OEM Agreement with GE Healthcare
Market Leader to Private-Label Industry Leading Connectivity Solutions
Portland, Ore., May 8, 2007 – Kryptiq Corporation, the leading provider of workflow and connectivity solutions for healthcare, today announced that GE Healthcare has signed an OEM agreement to private label and distribute Kryptiq’s connectivity suite in conjunction with Centricity® Practice Solutions. These include document management, clinical messaging, and patient portal solutions. This solidifies and extends GE Healthcare’s existing reseller relationship with Kryptiq, providing a broader range of products and services to a larger customer base.
“The lack of clinical data mobility is at the heart of the cost and quality issues facing healthcare today. Physician groups are looking beyond practice management and electronic medical records to connectivity solutions that embrace the entire healthcare community,” said Luis Machuca, president and CEO of Kryptiq. “Data transparency and interoperability among providers, health plans, and patients is taking an increasingly important role in certification and selection criteria. GE Healthcare realizes our tools and technologies give them competitive differentiation in an increasingly crowded market. We welcome this opportunity to strengthen our partnership, and drive awareness of these solutions into a broader marketplace.”
Kryptiq’s award-winning approach has long been recognized as a means to quickly and cost-effectively enable provider-to-provider collaboration and online patient services using technologies that are neither complex nor expensive. Kryptiq’s solutions are in use today at more than 1,000 customer sites nationwide. Kryptiq will continue to distribute its technologies through other leading healthcare IT vendors, such as Sage Software and MedcomSoft, as well as selling its patient portal and secure messaging software development kits directly to large healthcare institutions.
