Leading Healthcare Provider Uses Kryptiq’s New Software Development Kits to Bridge Unconnected Enterprise Systems

MeritCare Health System Leverages Kryptiq SDKs to Improve Information Availability

Portland, Ore.– June 5, 2007 – Kryptiq Corporation, the leading provider of workflow and connectivity solutions for healthcare, today announced that MeritCare Health System is implementing Kryptiq’s new Software Development Kits (SDKs) to provide a common platform for secure communication with patients. MeritCare has incorporated Kryptiq’s patient portal features into the MeritCare Web site so that patients can easily access secure messages and other personal health information. Additionally, MeritCare is now able to integrate Kryptiq’s secure messaging with existing information systems across the organization to support a streamlined workflow for internal users. This will allow MeritCare to maximize internal strengths in marketing and development, while improving information availability to both physicians and patients at a fraction of the time and cost of any other approach.

MeritCare Health System, an integrated clinic and hospital system headquartered in Fargo, N.D., has begun deployment of Kryptiq’s CareCatalyst SDK to support patient portal capabilities that connect with its GE Centricity information systems. “The Kryptiq SDK has enabled us to deliver rich portal functionality through our Web site that enables patients to take a more active and empowered role in their own care,” said Craig Hewitt, CIO for MeritCare. “In the future, we will be expanding our use of Kryptiq’s secure messaging SDK to connect information systems at MeritCare beyond GE Centricity to increase collaboration across provider settings and with patients.” The CareCatalyst SDK has allowed MeritCare to streamline patient/clinic communications with a highly efficient workflow while maintaining a consistent corporate brand identity.
