DETROIT – Compuware Covisint has created a strategic partnership with Initiate Systems to provide healthcare professionals with secure access to complete patient identification and medical records, despite where they are located.

Covisint’s healthcare offering will use Initiate?s Identity Hub software, providing a scalable solution that regional health information

organizations, integrated delivery networks and other healthcare providers

can implement rapidly. The partnership will bring a proven hosted-service

to organizations seeking real-time, complete views of patient information

across multiple facilities. It will also target global electronic health

record initiatives.

“This partnership joins two healthcare technology innovators in

providing an extremely accurate, proven and high-performance solution for

precise patient identification and health-record maintenance. Just as

important, users can realize the value of this solution across multiple

facilities, application systems and databases,” said Bob Paul, President

and COO of Compuware Covisint. “We are very excited to partner with

Initiate Systems to deliver this innovative technology to improve

healthcare information exchange and collaboration.”
