Healthcare Integration Services
What we do
Data Integration
Integrating data requires the ability to accept and merge data coming from multiple sources. Due to limitations of standards, consolidating data from disparate systems is one of today’s most common healthcare IT challenges. Our Systems solutions are designed to overcome this challenge and integrate data regardless of the systems involved.
Systems Integration
Hospitals have EHR systems. Physicians have EMR systems. Laboratories, pharmacies, and public health agencies all have their own information systems. Integrating these disparate technologies is at the heart of today’s efforts to improve healthcare. Our Systems specializes in the integration of these diverse medical systems so data can be easily moved from one system to another.
Process Integration
Part of today’s efforts to improve care — while controlling its cost — is making processes involved in the delivery of daily care more efficient. Our solutions must leverage current technology and augment existing processes. That means integrating with the hospital’s existing EHR and other systems. Our process integration solutions easily integrate with all your hospital’s current vendor technologies and processes.
Integrated Care Management
Integrated care management is a process whereby an individual’s needs are assessed and evaluated, service eligibility is determined, care plans are implemented, services are provided, and needs are monitored and re-assessed.
Next-generation technologies enable care delivery through integrated care management to be fast, secure, and affordable. Integration with analytics, customer relationship management, remote patient monitoring, online collaboration tools, and mobility ensures the right care for the right person at the right time. It seeks to change the nature of health care from reactive to proactive, fragmented to coordinated, and static to dynamic.
Integrated care is the key to improving quality outcomes for the most frequent and costly care for the elderly and patients with chronic conditions. Integrated care management works on five major building blocks:
Analytics
Integrated care management simplifies the process of integrating information from diverse sources and systems, including claims, eligibility, lab results, health risk assessments, personal health records, and care management. It uses predictive modeling to help organizations stratify members and group them into categories based on the level of critical care needed.
Collaboration
Online collaboration among constituents—the patient, the physician, and the care coordinators—using SMS, chat, voice, and video for patient health assessment, clinical report diagnosis, e-appointments, e-consultations, and e-prescriptions enables anywhere, anytime care for patients.
Interoperability
Integrated care management approaches the patient from the perspective of a whole person, it demands that disparate, distributed systems can work together to share information and data. Therefore, technology interoperability is a key element of these strategies.
Portability
The ability for the patient and his or her physicians to interact quickly, easily, and around the clock requires technology that is portable among different systems and can interact with various end-user devices. Mobility enables on-the-go access to health records and availability throughout the encounter.
Security
Privacy and security are two of the most critical and compelling initiatives within the healthcare community today. Due to the multiple parties and various input and access points, privacy and security are even more important in the integrated care management environment. As with any process or project that involves IT integrally, focus and proper direction are vital for success. That’s why healthcare organizations benefit from seeking the help of an experienced partner for their next-generation healthcare initiatives.
