Although that is where we began in early 2000, iPatientCare has evolved as a scalable and highly available application platform that integrates certified ambulatory EHR, certified inpatient EHR, professional and institutional billing system, patient portal, health information exchange, and mHealth suite. It was our vision of anywhere anytime availability of patient records that led us to invest heavily in interoperability by developing our own interface engine and integration brokers from the scratch. As a result of this commitment, our "Providers" find patient's health data in iPatientCare EHR directly, helping them with provide better care to their patients and evidence-based decision support,” said Arnaz Bharucha, Senior Technology Officer, iPatientCare, Inc.
