Sage launches new version of Intergy

TAMPA, Fla. Software maker Sage announced Monday that it launched the latest version of its Intergy electronic medical records platform.

The company said the updates in version 5.5 are designed to expand interoperability with other systems and devices, address the needs of obstetrics, pediatrics and cardiology and streamline billing and collections.

 Specific updates to the software include expanded e-prescribing capabilities, including full integration with pharmacy benefit managers through RxHub; cardiac device integration to allow doctors to pull data directly from devices to electronic health records; predictive orders management that analyzes the way individual physicians practice medicine to deliver decision support and workflow management specific to them; and increased operability for pediatric practices. 

"The challenges our customers face in this healthcare environment are significant," Sage SVP sales and marketing Sharon Howard said in a statement. "Declining reimbursements and increasing regulations put increased pressures on practices every year."
