Kryptiq Aligns with Newt Gingrich and The Center for Health Transformation
National Effort Will Help Realize Improved Healthcare for All Americans
PORTLAND, Oregon - January 19, 2005 - To further the cause of transforming health policy and advancing the national healthcare agenda, Kryptiq Corporation, a leading provider of technology solutions that streamline healthcare processes, has become a member of the Center for Health Transformation (CHT: http://www.healthtransformation.net/). Led by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, CHT is dedicated to saving lives and saving money by helping develop and implement a 21st century system of health and healthcare.
"The CHT provides a critical forum for the free exchange of ideas between industry leaders, policy experts, advocacy groups and companies to define a shared vision for transforming our nation's ailing healthcare system," said Luis Machuca, Kryptiq CEO. "With our knowledge and experience in creating interoperability between electronic systems and in overcoming the barriers to efficiency where electronic systems interact with paper-based offices, we will help drive the agenda for a national infrastructure of electronic health record systems that delivers to the American public the quality of care we should expect at a cost we can afford."
Kryptiq enables physicians' offices to increase the value of their investments in electronic health records by extending the reach of these systems beyond the walls of the practice, allowing providers to readily share clinical data with other providers to improve coordination of care. Providers can communicate efficiently with one another, with patients, and with pharmacies to improve patient safety and also monitor quality of care to enable healthier outcomes. Kryptiq's solutions can work in conjunction with any electronic medical record system or paper-based process to help physicians improve the delivery of care in cost effective and achievable ways.
Newt Gingrich shares Kryptiq's enthusiasm. "The addition of Kryptiq to the Center for Health Transformation strengthens our understanding of how to help leaders operationalize the promise of a national system of interconnected electronic health records for every American. Kryptiq's technology gives providers the ability to springboard the development of interoperable electronic health information – a keystone to reducing deadly and costly medical errors and to practicing medicine based on the newest scientific knowledge, the most appropriate solutions, and the latest patient information."
