About Intersect

Care delivery reimagined. Determined to make a difference.

Intersect is delivering transformational care delivery solutions to shift patient care from reactive, generalized treatment to proactive, personalized medicine.

Following a 15-year history of focusing on in-patient electronic health records, Intersect recognized the need for a transformative approach to care delivery technology.

Drawing on deep expertise in clinical workflows and healthcare IT, Intersect set out to challenge conventional systems and reimagine how care is managed and delivered.

Intersect On FHIR is the culmination of our visionary effort. It leverages modern interoperability standards to create a seamless, patient-centered digital health platform that not only integrates with existing EHR systems but also unlocks the power of real-time data, AI-driven insights, and personalized treatment strategies. By bridging the gap between legacy systems and future-ready solutions, Intersect On FHIR empowers healthcare organizations to deliver more efficient, precise, and sustainable care—truly revolutionizing the landscape of care delivery technology.

Our Journey

Our Mission, Vision, and Values

Our Mission

Our mission is to elevate virtual care by integrating innovative digital health technologies with personalized patient engagement strategies, ensuring that every patient receives timely, efficient, and accessible care—transforming healthcare delivery in the digital age regardless of where they live. This is important because access to high-quality care should be available to everyone. Proactive care made available by digital health can improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care. For clinicians and healthcare systems, benefits include reduced emergency department and inpatient readmissions, greater efficiency, reduced costs, and the potential for additional revenue.

Our Vision

Our vision is guided by our determination to create a solution that meets the needs of all stakeholders—healthcare systems, clinicians, patients, and Intersect. We believe that if it doesn't work for each, it won't work for any. That vision is manifested in the design of our system, the features we include, and the services we provide.

Our Values

Our values form the foundation of our approach, enabling clinicians to deliver innovative, collaborative, patient-centered care—whether they serve expectant mothers in a maternal healthcare "desert" or patients with comorbidities in urban settings.

Our Technology and Innovation

How it Works

At the heart of our system is a cloud data repository, which serves as the central hub from which all other functionalities are driven. Our technology leverages a FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) infrastructure to enable real-time interoperability—a capability mandated by the 21st Century Cures Act. This regulation requires EHR systems to implement FHIR APIs for data sharing, ensuring that when a patient record is accessed, it is automatically populated with the latest information. Our patient mobile application, running on an Android tablet with an integrated wireless data plan, acts as a vital data source. This application not only hosts FDA-approved wearable devices (connected via Bluetooth) but also captures test results through FHIR APIs that mirror the master patient record. Once test data is collected, the mobile application pushes it to the cloud repository via its wireless connection, simultaneously updating the EHR record. Beyond facilitating test-taking—including support for devices that emit continuous data streams—the mobile application empowers patients by:

  • Displaying their test results
  • Enabling secure messaging with their care team
  • Delivering system-generated alerts and reminders
  • Connecting them to condition-specific informational resources

Clinicians access the system through a secure point-of-care front-end application that features role-based permissions. This ensures that each user only views information for which they are authorized. Clinicians log in to a personalized dashboard where they can navigate to the information they need with a single click. Dashboards contain a selection of individual panels, each populated with information specific to their tasks: My Patients, My appointments, My Reminders, dtc. All of the lists within each are scrollable, searchable, and clickable. For providers, most are related to patient records. Providers can also create eConsults, granting specialists patient record access as needed. Additionally, the system integrates with Google Meet, allowing clinicians to conduct virtual visits with patients who participate using their tablets. Genomics capabilities under development, in addition to integrating clinical and genomic data and sharing it across or between organizations, will enable the capability for genomics test ordering, genomics data collection, reporting, findings and implications, and study. Underpinning the entire process, AI models are deployed to enhance data analysis and optimize care delivery processes.

Innovation

Significant innovation results from exclusive use of the FHIR™ Resources Library. The entire system was exclusively developed with FHIR Resources, which we believe is the first-time an entire care delivery platform has been created using the standard. The HL7/FHIR™ (Fast Healthcare Interopererability Resources) standard defines how healthcare information can be exchanged between different computer systems regardless of how it is stored in those systems. It allows healthcare information, including clinical and administrative data, to be available securely to those who have a need to access it, and to those who have a right to do so for the benefit of a patient receiving care. This technology has a standards-based ontology that is adapted to create both genetic data and the patient's clinical records. That integration is crucial to accelerating the integration of precision medicine and to make sense of genetic testsing results in a complete clinical context. In addition to genomic medicine, Intersect is the first ever itteration of a virtual care delivery isabelle#1achatIf system able to deliver comprehensive care. That capability is created because providers will have access to the combination of data created in during previous encounters and data captured from prescribed wearable devices and genomic testing.
