Altera Digital Health Enables Data Exchange Under TEFCA with Sunrise Axon

Latest Sunrise development now generally available to drive secure, nationwide interoperability

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Altera Digital Health, a global health IT leader, today announced the launch of Sunrise™ Axon, a new solution that delivers normalized, deduplicated, real-time patient information in provider workflows at the point of care. Now generally available to US-based clients leveraging the Sunrise electronic health record (EHR), Sunrise Axon helps improve patient outcomes and experiences while supporting provider efficiency, productivity and satisfaction.

Built in partnership with Health Gorilla—the only organization designated as both a Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) and a Qualified Health Information Organization (QHIO)—Sunrise Axon enables secure, standards-based interoperability with any organization participating in and aligned with the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA). Clinicians leveraging Sunrise Axon will gain access to clinical data from more than 220 million patients, 750,000 clinicians and 147,000 care sites across the country, including national laboratory networks, health information exchanges (HIEs) and imaging providers. Sunrise Axon brings external data directly into the EHR to support clinical decision-making without third-party brokers, information gaps or the need for disruptive workarounds.

“With Sunrise Axon, we’re making it easier for clinicians to get the full picture about their patients—without leaving their workflows,” said Jay Adams, Executive Vice President for Sunrise, Altera Digital Health. “This is about better-informed care, the ability to make faster decisions and seamless access to outside data. It’s a critical evolution of our EHR that adds measurable value for both clinicians and the patients they serve.”

By increasing access to data, Sunrise Axon not only enables better care coordination and transitions of care between those caring for patients, but also helps cut waste, such as duplicative testing costs. Additionally, Sunrise Axon can help clients reduce costs by replacing the need for individual connections to many state and local HIEs.
