CriticalKey Enables Hospitals to Build Closer Connections With Physicians
CriticalKey can help hospitals like yours build a private health information exchange (HIE) that delivers immediate benefits and fast returns by fostering closer working relationships with physicians, improving care and reducing costs.
With CriticalKey, you eliminate the paper chase, rounds of phone calls and manually keying data into portals from other systems to ensure results arrive when and where they need to be.

Immediate benefits:
- Speed up turnaround time
- Increase physician and patient satisfaction with faster diagnosis
- Reduce medical errors
- Improve productivity

In addition to these very real and measurable improvements, CriticalKey’s technology is a strategic investment that offers a quick return and long-term advantages.
- Strengthens ties to your referral base
- Creates a leadership position in the marketplace
- Supports Meaningful Use
- Builds a foundation and capabilities for delivering accountable care
Hospitals are moving aggressively to adopt HIEs. In a 2011 survey of 340 hospitals, healthcare technology research and advisory firm CapSite found nearly 75 percent plan to invest in HIEs.
Choosing CriticalKey Is Smart and Cost-Effective
CriticalKey provides the most flexible and complete solution for connecting providers to improve performance and relationships right away
- We’ve developed the only HIPAA compliant, standards-based HIE software with an integrated Master Patient Index. A Master Patient Index, which identifies patients and matches them with their records, is quite costly when acquired separately but is essential for ensuring the accurate exchange of information while preserving patient security and privacy. Our technology also has a locator capability, which can find patient data in any system using CriticalKey.
- We’re eminently scalable. We can connect any information systems. We handle millions of transactions and users, and we can connect an unlimited number of providers. We deploy on time within days and can add new users to an existing system overnight.
- We build the solution that suits your needs. We preserve legacy systems instead of replacing them. Our technology can work in a closed loop, sending orders and receiving results. Or it can be deployed in one direction, such as receiving orders only. We can aggregate to facilitate mandatory reporting. And we make our technology available as a cloud service or install the software on your own servers and manage it for you.
