"Successful innovation requires collaboration, and we are honored to work with Microsoft to advance our shared vision for using information technology to improve patient care," said Kenneth A. Samet, president and chief operating officer of MedStar Health. "The Azyxxi technology is an amazing tool that enables clinicians to treat their patients more quickly, efficiently and accurately with the click of a mouse. Putting patients first is what we're all about, and Azyxxi helps us do that every day."
"Instant access to patient information is key to lifesaving care, especially in the emergency room and intensive-care unit, where delays may mean the difference between life and death," Dr. Smith said. "Azyxxi was developed in the crucible of a real-time, high-acuity hospital environment, not in an offsite office or research laboratory."

"The reality is that most hospitals have islands of data that can't easily be shared with other systems because of disparate data types," Dr. Feied added. "We developed Azyxxi to address this challenge. Now, as part of Microsoft, we'll be able to make an even greater contribution to healthcare systems, hopefully worldwide."
Microsoft and MedStar Health have also agreed on a strategic alliance designed to deliver collaborative innovation to customers as the technology becomes commercially available. Building on more than 10 years of experience, Washington Hospital Center will serve as the development laboratory and continue to develop prototypes and deploy new features that support and enhance the Azyxxi technology.
About Azyxxi
Azyxxi was designed and developed to capture, integrate and display data from wherever it was created. The system can answer clinician-specific questions with great speed; it uses existing data in new ways to enable situational awareness and facilitate the recognition of patterns in the data.
The Azyxxi system excels in environments with fragmented systems that traditionally don't share data. It manages more than 40 terabytes of live data while offering sub-second response times, and delivers data through a dynamic interface that can be defined by the user and accommodate almost any query. In use at Washington Hospital Center, Azyxxi has increased hospital efficiency, enhanced operational capacity for emergency room cases, improved patient safety, and reduced time for rounds reporting. Azyxxi was so successful that it was exported and deployed throughout MedStar Health's other hospitals.
