Altera Digital Health Announces General Availability of Paragon Denali

Software-as-a-service EHR gives rural, critical access and community hospitals a complete system to support their independence

Altera Digital Health, a global health IT leader, today announced that Paragon® Denali, an electronic health record (EHR) natively deployed in the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, is now generally available. Leveraging a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, Paragon Denali brings cloud-enabled features and containerized services to rural, critical access and community hospitals, providing greater system reliability and data accessibility while supporting organizational growth and improved user experiences.

Hospitals require rapid, ongoing access to real-time data to drive informed decision-making, from clinical diagnosis to financial and operational efficiency. With these needs in mind, Altera built Paragon Denali on Azure with containerized services to minimize client downtime and, in turn, disruptions to patient care and cash flow. Clients will now be able to easily implement upcoming functionalities from Altera in an expedited manner. In addition to a reduction in hardware and maintenance costs, hospitals on Paragon Denali will have the ability to scale the system up or down as needed. As longtime partners, Altera and Microsoft’s combined power will also provide clients the advanced security controls needed to help protect against the evolving threat landscape.

“Paragon has been an essential investment for our healthcare system, driving EMR best practices across our hospitals. Our providers and clinical and operational end users have the flexibility they need to focus on providing safe, quality patient care,” said Meghan Bisping, Chief Information Officer, Pipeline Health System. “Altera’s investment of time and resources into their solutions has provided important support as we meet the rising demands of healthcare. We look forward to seeing how our work with Altera for Paragon Denali will drive our organization’s future success.”

Paragon Denali offers clients proven EHR capabilities as well as a single database by integrating emergency department, ambulatory, financial, revenue cycle and enterprise resource planning data. Leveraging a single system across the organization not only provides a single source of clinical truth to busy providers, but also reduces data redundancy, IT complexity and costs. As market consolidation expands in healthcare, Paragon Denali will provide tools to help clients maintain their independence, achieve financial stability and continue providing high-quality care to their communities.

“Community hospitals often have fewer resources than large health systems, but they must navigate many of the same regulatory requirements, financial pressures and IT complexities,” said Mark Bruno, Executive Vice President for Paragon, Altera Digital Health. “Paragon Denali was designed to fulfill the unique needs of these organizations and enable them to steadily evolve with the entire industry. I’m proud of the team’s relentless focus in bringing Paragon Denali to life, and I look forward to bringing higher-level EHR experiences to our clients as they take this next step with Altera.”

“The cloud represents a new era for healthcare, enabling organizations to respond to evolving clinical and operational pressures while empowering providers with robust data and AI-driven capabilities,” said Todd Mersch, General Manager, Health & Life Sciences, Microsoft. “Paragon Denali on Microsoft Azure is a new chapter in our longstanding relationship with Altera as we work to unlock the full value of health data and meaningfully improve healthcare experiences for providers and patients alike.”
