Delivering Superior Patient Engagement: NEC UNIVERGE BLUE Introduces Key EHR Integrations within UNIVERGE BLUE ENGAGE

Posted by Adam Uthe on Posted in Cloud, Healthcare, Security

NEC is excited to announce new integrations between UNIVERGE BLUE ENGAGE and the industry’s top EHR (electronic health records) platforms, including Epic, Cerner, and MEDITECH. These integrations empower healthcare providers to streamline patient communication and optimize employee workflows, allowing them to focus on providing superior care while giving patients better access to critical information.

Improved Patient Communication and Access to Information
One of the key benefits of UNIVERGE BLUE ENGAGE’s healthcare integrations is the improved patient-provider communication experience. By connecting ENGAGE with leading EHR platforms, healthcare professionals can access patient data and history in real-time during routine interactions. This means more personalized and informed patient conversations, resulting in better care outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Patients also gain easier access to their medical information, appointment scheduling, and test results. This enhanced accessibility fosters greater patient engagement and empowers individuals to actively participate in their own care.

Enhancing Efficiency and Workflow Automation
Healthcare professionals face numerous challenges daily, from managing patient inquiries to coordinating care across different departments. These new healthcare integrations help bridge the gap between ENGAGE and leading electronic healthcare records (EHRs) organizations, enabling seamless data exchange and workflow automation.

Through these integrations, time-consuming manual processes are automated, allowing healthcare providers to optimize their workflows for employees. The automation not only cuts costs, it also saves valuable time and reduces the risk of errors associated with manual data entry, ensuring accurate and up-to-date patient information across all platforms.

Ensuring HIPAA Compliance and Data Security
Security and compliance are of utmost importance in the healthcare industry. Fortunately, UNIVERGE BLUE ENGAGE adheres to strict data protection regulations and industry-best practices, ensuring that patient information remains secure and confidential throughout the communication process. Any integration with Epic, Cerner, or MEDITECH’s EHRs maintains stringent data security standards, facilitating seamless and protected data exchange between systems.

ENGAGE’s new healthcare integrations mark a significant step forward in NEC’s commitment to improving healthcare outcomes and patient experiences for all providers.

Digital Government Services Transformed with Digital Identity Services

Posted by Gary Lac on Posted in Biometrics, Digital ID, Government, Security Tagged , , , , ,

Identity theft resulted in a staggering $56 billion in losses in 2020, according to the Federal Trade Commission.

Today, Decentralized Identity (DID) services have evolved into a disruptive technology redefining how we verify identities. This change in thinking, particularly within government services, offers a viable replacement for traditional identity verification methods with streamlined, secure alternatives.

Download our new thought leadership paper, Digital Government Services Transformed with Digital Identity Services, to learn why sharing trusted identity data across government and commercial ecosystems can dramatically enhance traditional identity verification and service efficiency.

NEC’s cloud-based Digital IDs are commercially focused and relevant for digital services. Leveraging DIDs that are highly interoperable with digital services and adding verified trusted identity data from government sources will enable a vibrant ecosystem for digital identities.
