PORTLAND, Oregon. – October 6, 2018 – Xtract Solutions will attend and exhibit at the Cerner Health Conference (CHC) 2018, an annual conference on the latest innovations in health care and IT. Cerner, a global leader in health care technology, will host this year’s event Oct. 8-11 throughout downtown Kansas City, Missouri.
“The practice of allergy immunotherapy is unlike any other specialty in the hospital setting,” explains James M. Baker, President & CEO of Xtract Solutions. “Where else do you have patients coming in for unscheduled visits for a series of injections that are highly variable based on the patient’s reactions to previous doses, time between injections, and current allergy and asthma symptoms? The stakes of making an error while giving an injection or mixing a treatment vial are potentially life threatening for the patient, yet very little has changed in these practices despite the addition of EHRs over the last few decades. From visiting many hospital practices over the years, I’ve noticed technological improvements in the space have been nearly non-existent. Most practices are still documenting records on paper or were forced to develop templates within the EHR that have significant limitations. Our software finally offers allergy shot practices a tool to get away from paper and make staff more productive all while interfacing the documentation and billing with their Electronic Health Record software like Cerner. The opportunity to share how we do all of this at CHC is something we are really excited about.”
Xtract Solutions will join nearly 14,000 health care industry leaders, practitioners and Cerner associates from around the world who gather at CHC each year to stay ahead of the curve and up to date on new and existing technology. Xtract Solutions focuses on bringing the absolute best technology to the allergy practices of both Board Certified Allergists and Otolaryngologists and is an exciting addition to the ambulatory space. This year’s theme, “Smarter Care,” highlights contextual, intelligent experiences and continuous advancement as a smarter organizational strategy with a focus on proactive engagement and wellness.
With more than 200 educational sessions and 700 expert and industry-leading speakers, CHC provides organizations insight on ways to engage consumers in their care and gain improved health outcomes. Xtract Solutions will be meeting with industry leaders and exhibiting it’s suite of products at booth #635 on the 90,000-square-foot Solutions Gallery floor. Featuring exhibits from more than 140 supplier organizations, the Solutions Gallery provides experiential learning with cutting-edge technology and connections with Cerner associates.
Xtract Solutions will be showcasing their allergy software for skin testing, treatment vial formulation, mixing treatment vials, and giving injections. They will explain how the solutions are currently helping prevent adverse events for patients, as well as supporting increased patient satisfaction and productivity of staff for their mutual Cerner clients. This will help educate industry leaders about a solution they can adopt at their own hospital to address similar challenges.

About Xtract Solutions
Xtract Solutions is a healthcare software company based in Portland, Oregon that focuses on allergy immunotherapy. It was founded by Dr. James W. Baker in 2005 with the goal of bringing the latest technology to his own specialty. Dr. Baker’s 40+ years of experience in the field along with the input of Xtract Solutions clients over the years has flipped the typical software development process around. Xtract Solutions has developed their solutions with the end-users (doctors and nurses) at the table with the programmers giving their direct input on how they need the software to support their workflows. This has given Xtract Solutions a unique reputation in the market as a healthcare software company that reduces the number of steps for the doctors and nurses, rather than adding steps. The Xtract Solutions slogan is FOR ALLERGY EXPERTS, BY ALLERGY EXPERTS, and their ultimate goal is to be the standard of care for allergy immunotherapy in hospital systems across the United States and beyond.
