NYC Health + Hospitals is committed to the health and well-being of all New Yorkers and offers a wide range of high quality and affordable healthcare services to keep patients healthy and to address the needs of New York City's diverse populations.
Challenge
Get Real Health, in conjunction with Caradigm, was engaged to provide a customized version of InstantPHR's patient, provider and mobile application and implement an integrated Amalga/InstantPHR tool, also using the CHBase data storage platform, enabling NYC Health + Hospitals to provide an effective care plan system throughout various hospitals in NYC.
