  1. Workflow automation and interoperability – Diagnostic Devices Heather Childs EMR Program Director Midmark Diagnostics Group

  2. Midmark Diagnostics Group - Overview • Incorporated in 1978 (Brentwood Medical Technology) • Providing devices that create test results which can be digitally integrated into the electronic patient record. • The leading provider of integrated diagnostic devices for today’s EMR – 80 EMR partners.Award winning products • 2005 Competitive Strategy Leadership of the Year Award • Frost & Sullivan Award Winner – 1999, 2005 • MS-HUG Industry Solution Awards – 1997, 1999, 2004, 2005 • Pocket PC Magazine – Medical Editor’s Choice Award – 2004 • TETHIC Most Innovative Patient Care Winner – 2003 • TEPR Awards – 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 AAFP 2005

  3. Diagnostic Devices – Workflow issues • Problems with today’s diagnostic devices • Large equipment that takes up office and shelf space • Workflow issues – Inconvenient for both the patient and the physician • Inefficient – Increases hardware and supply costs • Interoperability issues – Not a integrated solution • Creates a paper based report • Uses extra staff time to file reports (or scan them into an EMR) • Expensive thermal paper that curls and fades (staff must either mount thermal paper on special mounting cards or photocopy report to prevent fading) • Lack of connectivity solutions • Reports are scanned into the EMR creating a static report. • Interface options limit information exchange and create a data gap.

  7. Diagnostic Devices – Interoperability Solutions Bridging the Gap with IQmark devices Interoperability Solutions - Integration • ActiveX Controls & .NET – Software tools for the EMR • Seamless data exchange – Becomes part of the EMR • Allows electronic comparison among tests • Allows data mining from the EMR Workflow solutions for various environments • Serial and/or USB port access • Thin Client and Fat Client solutions • Wireless – Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. AAFP 2005

  8. Integration vs. Interfaced “Systems are integrated only if they utilize a single underlying database, a common user interface and seamless navigation across all functionality. Anything less should be defined in terms of an interfaced system. Interfaces are developed to pass data from one application to another…Interfaces are not bad -- just limited.” Integrated Systems Help Solve Health Care's Hottest ChallengesBy Brad Block AAFP 2005

  9. IQmark Advantage – the integrated solution Integrated vs. Interfaced Active X Controls & .NET HL7 File saved in patient chart File is an attachment Digital file: small Image file: large Run one program Run multiple programs Single database Multiple Databases Integrated data Pass static numbers Electronic comparison Manual comparison Common user look and feel Multiple user interfaces Fees from EMR only Fees EMR/Device Vendor Upgrades from EMR only Upgrades EMR/Device Vendor AAFP 2005
