Andor Health Announces Success of ThinkAndor Collaboration Platform

Today, the coordination between hospitals and specialists and primary care physicians is manual and often a labor-intensive process that is not sustainable in the face of the new regulations, despite over 45 percent of admitted patients asking for their PCPs to be consulted. The ADT Event notification Conditions of Participation require healthcare organizations to electronically share data from major patient events, such as admission, discharge, and transfer, with providers. Also, Florida CS/HB-843 also states hospitals must inform the patient about the right to request the hospital's treating physician to consult with the patient's PCP or specialist.

"As an essential healthcare provider for our community, it is important that Lakeland Regional Health continues to find efficient ways to enhance care and share patient information with primary care providers," said Ana M. Kalman, MBA, CHCIO, Lakeland Regional Health Vice President, Chief Information Officer/Chief Applications Officer, and Medical Center Chief Operating Officer. "Given the success of Andor Health's platform, we elected to expand our community provider engagement and leverage the system to send additional information that providers have been requesting."
