Document exchange firm Kno2 partners with ImageTrend

Kno2, a company that optimizes patient document exchange, has partnered with ImageTrend, a developer of software solutions, data analytics and services for emergency medical services (EMS), hospitals, community paramedicine (CP), critical care, fire and preparedness.

ImageTrend will integrate Kno2's interoperability platform with ImageTrend Elite and Health Information Hub (HIH) to expand choices for achieving rapid, secure exchange of patient documentation between EMS agencies and hospitals, leading to improved care quality, patient safety and better outcomes reporting available to the EMS agencies.

Through this technology partnership, ImageTrend's EMS customers will be able to establish connections to all of the major health networks – cloud fax, DirectTrust, Carequality, FHIR– thus enabling the ability to securely send, receive and query for patient information electronically in a faster, more efficient manner.

Additionally, Kno2 will assist ImageTrend in establishing connectivity with the hospitals, based on their individual preferences, so that the agencies and hospitals can benefit from standards-based electronic exchange.

"Emergency medical services are truly the front line of care – and everything happens at high speed," said Mike McBrady, president of ImageTrend. "Kno2's interoperability platform ensures immediate, secure exchange of patient information between EMS agencies and the hospital. Together, we are delivering on our shared vision of driving better clinical and administrative efficiencies, quality care and patient safety."
