San Jose, CA-based Certify Data Systems is the developer of technology that allows hospitals and doctors' offices to exchange health information.
This week they announced that they raised an undisclosed amount in its second round of funding, led by Ziegler HealthVest Partners. Ziegler also took part in the company's first round last August.
Certify's information exchange gateway and appliance are designed to allow disparate systems to exchange clinical data, such as lab reports, discharge summaries and other patient data [details here].
The recent passage of the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 dedicates $19.2 billion to the “meaningful use” of health information technology, while additional provisions in the Act provide nearly $10 billion more for areas such as telehealth, broadband adoption and community health-- no doubt Certify is aiming for some of these funds.
