Introducing HealthGrid: First ONC Certified Mobile Collaboration Platform For Connecting Care Teams And PatientsORLANDO, Fla., April 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Seeking to solve one of the most difficult challenges in healthcare IT, experienced IT entrepreneurs Raj and Chakri Toleti have founded HealthGrid, a new company and product that vastly improves the communication of patient data to clinicians and patients throughout the care continuum. As a fully-integrated, secure mobile collaboration platform, HealthGrid simultaneously satisfies many CMS Meaningful Use Phase 2 (MU2) requirements by securely transmitting summary of care information between providers; it also gives patients and families access to discharge instructions on any mobile device. HealthGrid is an end-to-end solution that makes critical patient information accessible and actionable at the point of need. The ONC-certified product is comprised of two services, each of which delivers only the data necessary for the specified purpose:
Proven Leaders HealthGrid's founders are veteran healthcare IT entrepreneurs. Raj Toleti is founder, and CTO of Coordinated Care Solutions at PatientPoint™, a provider of health information and engagement programs for patients and physicians. Previously he founded Galvanon with Chakri Toleti, a company eventually acquired by NCR, and Cytura Corporation, a content management company acquired by Mobius. Raj Toleti also was a founding member of the Microsoft Consulting Services (Healthcare) practice. Chakri Toleti, Founder and CEO of HealthGrid, also serves as CEO of Mahathi Software Pvt. He previously served as president of both Galvanon and Cytura. "HealthGrid promises to transform the process of information exchange between clinicians and patients. It meets all HIPAA security requirements, yet is highly intuitive and requires little to no training," noted Raj Toleti. "HealthGrid not only facilitates information sharing at the clinical level, but also encourages participation by patients and families as collaborative care partners." Successful Deployments HealthGrid has already gained significant traction in the healthcare industry via deployments at several major institutional networks. Nicklaus Children's Hospital (formerly Miami Children's Hospital), a development partner in HealthGrid, has deployed and is currently using the solution in roughly two-thirds of its departments, with plans to extend HealthGrid systemwide. "For patients and their families, the ability to understand what needs to be done, and at what time, is absolutely critical to positive outcomes," said M. Narendra Kini, MD, President and CEO of Miami Children's Health System. "Having a solution that proactively notifies family members on a timely basis, wherever they are, is the prime value proposition of CareNotify. When combined with CareNarrative, HealthGrid's services enable us to bring coordination of care up to par with other advances in medicine."
