Casamba and Kno2® have announced a fully interoperable healthcare solution for outpatient clinics.

The partnership allows Casama’s outpatient therapy EMR — Casamba Clinic (formerly TherapySource) to be powered by Kno2: Interoperability as a Service.

This allows direct messaging and patient information query ability for those on Carequality. The integration lets Casamba customers send, receive, find and use patient information with everyone within the network from the Casamba Clinic platform. The therapy clinics will be able to exchange any type of content — from PDFs to structured data files that can be absorbed directly into the patient’s record — with their referral sources and any other healthcare provider, the company said.

“We have partnered with Kno2 to allow our customers a path to interoperability. Paper faxing is not only obsolete, but an unsecure way to exchange PHI,” said Billie Nutter, president of Casamba. “The current patient data exchange process among outpatient therapy clinics and other healthcare providers is costly, inefficient and prone to errors; this can have a direct negative impact on patient outcomes. Our partnership with Kno2 is a big step towards solving this problem and helping the industry move towards interoperability.”
