Covisint signs deal with American Medical Association

Compuware subsidiary Covisint has signed a deal with the American Medical Association to provide 240,000 doctors with information from things like health records electronically.

The partnership is part of the recent trend to digitize health records and other similar information. The idea is it will create significant efficiencies that will lead to cheaper-but-better healthcare. It will do this with the help of a number of avenues, such as utilizing easily searchable electronic health records.

The AMA plans to do some pilot tests of a number of physician groups and then take the program national.
