No Integrated View of Patient Data Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Physically navigating multiple systems is frustrating and wastes time. Entering 6 to 10 passwords a day is inconvenient and poses security risk. Once logged into each application • Manually select patient’s ID • Wait for system to access data. • Navigate through 8-10 screens Data is often not synchronized across systems leading to diagnosis errors Radiology Information System (RIS) Laboratory Information System (LIS) 9
Integrated View for Physicians Integrated view of patient-centric data from diverse medical information systems. View patient's self-monitored health trends Flexible communication tools like e-visits Decision support which searches patient-specific data 10
Patients can't view records 24/7 Inaccessibility of Lab results leaves patients anxious Getting copies of medical records takes weeks. What if you need to travel or seek a second opinion? Prescription renewal or changes can only happen during business hours 11
No tools to track self-monitored health data Write records of self-monitored health data like blood sugar levels Wait till next visit to convey results to physician. What if you lose your written records or print the wrong one? Patients is unaware of any abnormal patterns till next visit. 13
No effective way to communicate 24/7 Urgent questions like bad reactions to medicine require immediate communication not limited to business hours. Generally, emails are not HIPAA compliant. Patients skip visits due to schedule conflicts or distance 15
Architectural Approach Service-oriented architecture Loosely coupled modular services which support business requirements Enhanced interoperability and re-usability Reusable components lead to cost reductions, business agility and flexibility 17
