NoMoreClipboard.com^TM launches FroozHIE^TM tool to streamline clinical data comparison and reconciliation among health care IT systems

Fort Wayne, Ind. – Feb. 20, 2008 – NoMoreClipboard.com, a PHR company, today launched FroozHIE, a free tool which reconciles clinical patient data from disparate sources including PHRs, EMRs, HIEs and other health care IT platforms. A user-friendly, interoperable application, FroozHIE supports data between platforms utilizing different data standards including CCR, CCD, CDA and HL7.

“This process is like blending apples and oranges to create a smoothie, which is how the product earned the name FroozHIE,” explains Jeff Donnell, NoMoreClipboard.com vice president of marketing. “As a secure health information exchange application, FroozHIE displays similar data from different sources side-by-side, enabling clinicians and patients to compare and reconcile medical records.”

In addition, FroozHIE helps alleviate physician fears about incorporating patient-supplied information into practice workflow. “I was concerned that PHR information sent by my patients would either overwrite the data in my EMR system or create duplicate data, such as listing a medication twice,” says Michael Mirro, M.D., cardiologist and chair of the IT Committee for the American College of Cardiology. “With the FroozHIE tool, I see the information I have next to similar information from the patient, and I can click on one button to selectively incorporate data I don’t have into my EMR.”

NoMoreClipboard.com is making the FroozHIE application available to the health care IT community as a free, secured Web-based tool in order to encourage full interoperability. “We recognize that this is a serious technical challenge,” explains NoMoreClipboard.com founder and chief technology officer Douglas Horner. “Comparing, reconciling and sharing data on different platforms using different standards is no simple matter. To speed health care IT adoption we are making FroozHIE available and inviting others to work with it and even improve upon it. We believe that fostering interoperability will benefit patients, physicians and vendors alike.”

A strong proponent of affordable integration, NoMoreClipboard.com actively participates in Integrating the Health care Enterprise (IHE) events including the annual Connectathon in Chicago. The FroozHIE tool will also be demonstrated at the Interoperability Showcase at Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society annual conference and exhibition, where attendees can see how PHR data from NoMoreClipboard.com is shared with systems from other health care IT vendors using the FroozHIE application.
“Physicians have shown a great deal of interest in using a Web-based PHR to automate the patient registration process,” adds Horner. “However, most of their EMR systems were previously unable to accept patient supplied PHR information and their EMR vendors were not in a position to affordably integrate with a PHR. We are dedicated to accelerating the development of interoperable solutions. That’s why we decided to make FroozHIE available to anyone who wants to use it.”
