Surescripts taps Kno2 platform for clinical info exchange

BOISE, Idaho — Kno2 on Wednesday announced that Surescripts had selectd the company’s platform to connect health technology vendors and their users, allowing them to exchange information through Surescripts’ Clinical Direct Messaging. 

 

Kno2's platform makes any documents interoperable, allowing clinical documents move between different health care professionals and vendors. Additionally, the company makes APIs available to vendors who want to connect to Surescripts’ network, which can reduce costs associated with implementing direct messaging and getting Electronic Health Record certification. Kno2 also streamlines the process of verifying identities for providers, which takes that responsibility off of vendors. 

 

“The Surescripts network connects providers nationwide, so they can easily and securely exchange critical patient information electronically and better manage transitions of care,” Mike Pritts, EVP product innovation at Surescripts said. “By delivering quick integration to vendors that might not have the resources to integrate natively to our API, Kno2 will help us further expand our network, particularly among ambulatory providers looking to benefit from meaningful use incentives and establish a single connection to a broad network of care partners.”
