Caritas Christi Health Care has announced a partnership with Microsoft on a system-wide data and patient relationship strategy that the Boston-based hospital network says will improve quality and reduce healthcare costs.

Using the Microsoft Amalga Unified Intelligence System, Caritas will aggregate patient data that was previously stored across multiple systems. The move will provide physicians with a real time, complete picture of a patient’s medical history at the point of care, say Caritas officials.
