Covisint OnDemand Platform to Connect With Microsoft HealthVault, Giving
Connected Physicians Access to Their Patients' Medical Information
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware Corporation
(Nasdaq: CPWR) today at the HIMSS 2008 conference announced that its
Covisint subsidiary has entered into an agreement to work with Microsoft(R)
HealthVault(TM), Microsoft's personal health technology platform. Covisint
will provide physicians with better, more efficient and secure access to
patients' records by enabling patients to grant provider access to their
HealthVault records through Covisint's OnDemand platform.
HealthVault is a software and services health technology platform --
free- of-charge to consumers -- that helps people better manage, store and
share their health information with family, friends and healthcare
professionals. HealthVault also provides access to health management tools
and third-party applications to help consumers manage things such as
fitness, diet and health. Physicians connected to Covisint's platform will
have patient-controlled access to HealthVault records.
"Integrated access to the right health information is critical to
helping people and their caregivers make the right decisions, but adoption
and engagement relies on trust," said Peter Neupert, Corporate Vice
President for the Health Solutions Group at Microsoft Corp. "When it comes
to accessing healthcare information, there are three must-haves: first
security, followed closely by usability and efficiency. We are excited that
Covisint shares these goals and is committed to delivering an innovative
solution and a trusted experience across consumers and physicians using
Microsoft HealthVault."
Covisint's secure, on-demand approach to granting access to information
-- regardless of where it exists -- makes it simple for physicians across a
community to improve efficiencies in providing care. With Microsoft and
Covisint working together, physicians will now have a new model for
healthcare delivery: a single point of access to patient information.
"The problem and the opportunity are really quite simple: physicians
need secure, quick and efficient access to healthcare information, and
consumers demand better care," said Bob Paul, President and COO of
Compuware. "This HealthVault-Covisint connection dramatically improves on
both counts, and Covisint is extremely pleased to work with a change agent
like Microsoft to improve healthcare delivery by matching Covisint's
OnDemand platform with Microsoft HealthVault."
