Xealth Gets $11M, Aims to Be Surescripts of Digital Health Services
Summary
But to Mike McSherry, CEO of Xealth , a Seattle-based startup that announced $11 million in new funding Wednesday to help fuel its continued growth, prescribing digital products and services is where the healthcare industry is headed. Xealth also allows users to prescribe mobile apps for areas such as maternity care, behavioral health, weight loss, and managing chronic conditions, he says. Xealth’s tools are designed to integrate with electronic health records (EHR) software sold by companies like Cerner (NASDAQ: CERN ) and Epic Systems, and McKesson (NYSE: MCK ). Only 1 percent of US hospitals still rely entirely on paper records to document patient information, an indication that today, most clinicians use EHR systems to update patients’ medial charts, order prescriptions, and perform other actions. These Web-based applications, which are developed by both EHR software vendors and healthcare providers themselves, have become popular with patients for tasks like requesting refills of medications and viewing lab test results.
