Product Demo

  • Fusionfx is a scalable and interoperable workflow platform that aggregates disparate data from silos across the enterprise to create patient-centered, contextually relevant views of patient data. Fusionfx doesn’t care where the data resides--if a clinician needs it and has the clearance to access it, he or she gets it—quickly, simply, wherever it is needed, in a format that makes sense for what he or she is doing.
     
    The following demonstration provides a view into the power of Fusionfx.  Enjoy.

  • Part of Carefx's Fusionfx suite of workflow solutions, eReferral transforms the onerous, bureaucratic, paper-shuffling referral process into a disciplined workflow that facilitates and standardizes collaboration, improves patient care quality and safety and increases referral volume and revenues.

Case Studies

Boston Medical Center, named one of America’s Best Hospital’s by U.S. News and World Report, turbocharged its revenues thanks to referral volume increases generated through Carefx’s eReferral, a portal-based referral management solution that allows hospitals, IDNs and HIEs to create a streamlined, patient-centric and accountable process for tracking referrals.

Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) utilized Fusionfx in it's "DirectConnect" clinical workstation project, an initiative started in early 2007 to provide role-based, integrated access to clinical data. Their story will be of interest to CIOs, CMIOs and CTOs looking to implement an interoperable, browser-accessible clinical workflow solution.

At the Cancer Therapy & Research Center (CTRC), clinicians have access to a multidisciplinary view of a cancer patient’s record. Following a speedy 90-day installation, Fusionfx changes the lives of cancer patients and boosts clinician efficiency and productivity.

Children’s Medical Center, Dallas uses Fusionfx to provide physicians with immediate access to patient information at the point of care wherever and whenever needed.

At Legacy Health System, Fusionfx streamlined the process of getting a complete view into a patient’s medical record. It now takes seconds instead of minutes.
