ORHub Announces Centers for Medicare and Medicaid's 2019 Promoting Interoperability (PI) Initiative May Drive Growth of Surgical Spotlight™

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Dec. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ORHub, Inc. (OTC: ORHB) (the "Company" or "ORHub"), a SaaS-based healthcare data analytics company uniquely focused on the business of surgery to improve the profitability of health systems, hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), today announces that key initiatives led by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) such as Promoting Interoperability will serve as a potential growth engine for the market adoption of Surgical Spotlight™.

Beginning in 2019, all Medicare eligible hospitals, dual-eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals are required to meet the new requirements.

Surgical Spotlight™'s advanced cloud-based platform operates so that integration with an EHR is unnecessary, a unique product attribute that supports multiple industry and government initiatives led by the current administration and CMS.  Since surgical data can be compared across different facilities, regions and providers, the ORHub analytics platform is already able to provide key data for clinicians and administrators that can be used to improve population health.

"2019 will serve as a major growth period for ORHub as health systems will grapple with how to address these new initiatives.  By using Spotlight™, we facilitate their ability to meet certain requirements such as Meaningful Use (MU) and lowers interoperability challenges," said Colt Melby, Chief Executive Officer of ORHub.  "We are already seeing early market orders developed by the Company's national direct and indirect sales and distribution channels.  ORHub is actively developing a roadmap for additional Spotlight™ features that are also EHR agnostic and do not require lengthy and expensive integrations, which is expected to be released in 2019 and shared with the national market."
