Capping off nearly a year of various healthcare informatics initiatives, sleep therapy equipment and technology company ResMed has achieved additional interoperability between its systems and sleep and HME technology partners.

ResMed has connected its U-Sleep compliance management system with LabRetreiver EMR Solutions’ sleep lab electronic medical record system, and HME software companies DME Data Solutions and Computers Unlimited have signed onto ResMed Data Exchange.

LabRetriever provides customizable, referral-to-compliance software for sleep lab management. This ResMed partnership means patient compliance data measured by U-Sleep will automatically flow into the LabRetriever EMR, streamlining processes and boosting efficiencies for HME and sleep lab partners. HMEs will also be able to add patients into U-Sleep and will be notified when patients achieve compliance – all from within the LabRetriever application.

The ResMed Data Exchange provides a suite of software and service solutions that integrates valuable data from ResMed patient management platforms with third-party electronic health and medical records, billing, or care management applications. The integration deal with DME Data Solutions and Computers Unlimited will allow providers using their HME software to more easily and securely share relevant sleep patient information to drive positive health outcomes and workflow efficiencies.

“Our customers range from single-location HMEs to multi-physician practices, but they are united in their desire for solutions that can help them meet business and clinical goals with minimal upkeep and workflow disruption,” Ken Ravazzolo, president of DME Data Solutions, said.

“In today’s hyper competitive and highly regulated business environment, provider organizations depend more than ever on strategic partners that can provide the right mix of software, services and support,” said David Schaer, President, Computers Unlimited comments. “Integrating with ResMed’s healthcare informatics platforms has allowed us to round out our software offerings to reduce duplicate data entry, maximize compliance, and streamline workflow, so our HME/DME customers can focus their attention on their patients.”
