## Medical Center Rapidly Integrates

## Direct Secure Messaging with MEDITECH

### "It was amazing how quickly we were able to integrate the DataMotion Direct technology with our MEDITECH EHR."      -Darrel Whitmill, Meaningful Use Manager

 

Direct Secure Messaging is a national encryption standard for securely exchanging clinical healthcare data via the Internet. It specifies the secure, scalable and standards-based method for the exchange of Protected Health Information (PHI).

As a part of qualifying for incentive payments under the [Meaningful Use Stage 2 ](http://www.datamotion.com/solutions/healthcaredirect-project/meaningful-use/)criteria issued by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC), healthcare organizations and providers must meet data transfer requirements using Direct Messaging. 

**Read how Cumberland Medical Center successfully accomplished Meaningful Use Stage 2 Attestation quickly and painlessly.**

 Challenges:

- Short time frame to start MU2 attestation reporting period
- Manual processes for creating Patient Health Summaries
- Many affiliate providers without the technology to support Direct
- Provider/patient electronic accessibility to Patient Health Summaries
- Inconsistent transitions of care follow up by patients.
