Cyrus-XP LLC’s mission is to harness collective knowledge, creativity and skills to advance the management and delivery of healthcare. Cyrus-XP is developing LTCHIE (Long Term Care Health Information Exchange), a Health Information Technology service for the Long Term Care market. LTCHIE leverages Open Source technologies to create a standards-based, low cost, low risk platform for the storage and dissemination of clinical information. The service will allow for meaningful collaboration between caregivers (clinicians, family and friends) and consumers, which will result in increased consumer wellness, consumer safety and regulatory compliance. Cyrus-XP also provides full-portfolio services in Information Technology and Project Management. The company is promoting the adoption of Health Information Technology and healthcare interoperability standards, specifically HL7.

Cyrus-XP is working on the first open source electronic medical records application for long term care management. One of the challenges in the long-term care field is the integration of clinical medical records with personal and behavioral histories in a single repository. Cyrus-XP is already managing data for a long term research study funded by the National Cancer Institute.

Model: Software as a service paid on a subscription basis, overcoming some of the barriers to adoption created by the capital expnditure and integration effort required for enterprise software.
