Oct. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Fort Worth, Texas - Sandlot– a clinical health information technology company founded by practicing physicians – has partnered with TactusMD Inc. – a physician-owned electronic health record (EHR) solutions company based in Marietta, Georgia. The two physician-governed companies will offer tailored, integrated EHR and HIE service solutions to maximize patient care and business efficiencies for pediatric practices, hospitals and health plans.

TactusMD specializes in EHR technology systems tailored for pediatric, OB/GYN, family practice and internal medicine practice needs while meeting government standards for meaningful use. Sandlot’s HIE, SandlotConnect® contains nearly 2 million patients and combines patient clinical data – regardless of the source – to help physicians and healthcare delivery systems enhance quality improvement and patient care delivery.

Sandlot and TactusMD are working with Driscoll Children’s Health Plan – a licensed HMO in the Texas Coastal Bend region - to give the health plan and associated physicians a fully interoperable solution that seamlessly integrates with current workflows to enhance care delivery, improve patient outcomes and increase physician and patient satisfaction.

“We are excited about the possibilities this partnership with TactusMD will bring not only for South Texas physicians and patients, but for other communities across the country. Our experience building this IT platform equips our company to offer swift and effective implementations,” said Sandlot Chief Executive Officer Kimberly Alise. “Both companies’ products were designed by practicing physicians, so we understand the needs of physicians and provide easy-to use solutions that are highly adoptable into physician clinical workflows.”

Sandlot and TactusMD’s IT platform assemblage is essential to the success of accountable care organizations and providers looking to provide more effective, accountable patient care.

“TactusMD sees this opportunity to partner with Sandlot as an excellent way to bring an integrated, physician-minded solution to the marketplace,” said TactusMD Founder and Chief Executive Officer Anthony Mari, MD. “We’re providing a package deal for pediatric healthcare communities that don’t have an integrated EHR and HIE solution. Our EHR is fully interoperable with SandlotConnect® which will enable Driscoll Children’s Health Plan, their physicians and other providers nationwide to move steps closer to improving patient outcomes at all points of care.”
