It also received the 2013 Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Award for North American Health Information Exchange Enabling Technology.

HealthUnity will be featuring exciting new additions to its solution suite including:

- Healthebase(TM): HealthUnity's expanded healthcare analytics solution is built on Microsoft SQL Server(R) Business Intelligence foundation and is the only product in the market with built-in ETL tools to process HL7 version 2, Continuity of Care Document (CCD) and Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (CCDA) and claims data. Its data warehouse is designed to meet numerous well known reporting needs as well as new research questions. Healthebase forms the most cost-effective and comprehensive basis for patient and population health management required for accountable care organizations (ACO), clinically integrated networks and other data-driven, quality-conscious and research-oriented healthcare enterprises.

- CCHIT(R) Certified PHR: Healthysite(TM), HealthUnity's Personal Health Record (PHR) system, is now ONC 2014 Edition compliant and was fully certified recently by the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT), an ONC-ACB, in accordance with the applicable certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). It was built from the ground up to be the best non-tethered PHR in the industry, allowing it to enhance the patient engagement process and connect to any EHR technology that follows the ONC standards. Ideal for use with ACOs, clinically integrated networks and HIEs, Healthysite includes patient-generated content, remote identity proofing and authentication of users, patient-controlled data sharing and secure e-mail and e-visits using DIRECT messaging standards.

- HealthyReferral: HealthUnity's secure referral management system includes online electronic referral capability, which can be accessed as part of an HIE or natively from integrated EHR systems. The solution enables secure attachment of files as well as patient chart information. This critical component of care coordination is essential for any clinically integrated network.
