I contacted my regional electronic healthcare network to see what sort of service they could provide. I got this:
Key Software Capabilities
Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI)
The Orion Health EMPI solution embeds Initiate Systems Catalyst EMPI application. It delivers a single, trusted and complete version of records in real-time and enables users to obtain a complete and accurate view of all data associated with persons, objects, locations and events.
The Orion Health EMPI is an innovative
Technology that provides best-of-breed patient
reconciliation and search capabilities to overcome
consistency, reliability and quality issues Typically found in health care communities. The Orion Health EMPI leverages Initiate's leading Master Data Management platform to provide it for purpose patient registry capabilities and leverages the !earnings from over 200 customer implementations to optimize the matching and inking algorithms used for patient identification.
Health Information Exchange
Orion Health has extensive expertise in the management and deployment of electronic healthcare systems to offer a complete, pre-integrated solution for a
single, region-wide Health Information Exchange. The solution being proposed here has been implemented previously, and is ready to be implemented without extensive on-site integration; saving time, money and resources.
Our solution has been architected to support all prevailing clinical data standards, regulations and modes of working. The systems proposed are deployed in sizable clinical environments, including a number of regional initiatives that utilize the combined solution, demonstrating the technical and clinical scalability
The solution pulls data from existing systems and provides a unified view of region-wide health data in a single location. By using standards-based
- zeroperability, the proposed solution means that no changes are required to these existing systems, allowing us to deploy a state-wide solution with minimal disruption to the existing systems and existing clinical process
ConcertoTM Clinical Portal is a browser-based, single sign-on web portal that provides secure access to multiple hospital and community-based information
systems, connecting them to provide a "single patient view" of data across all medical applications. ConcertoTM Clinical Portal uses powerful web software to
collate and display medical data from contemporary, legacy and "best of breed" systems.
Presented in an easy-to-use, intuitive graphical user interface, ConcertoTM Clinical Portal is designed to be easy for staff to learn and use. It features a clear and
simple graphical environment with a "patient-centric" view of data. For example. once a patient has been selected. the user can access any of that patient's
information in just one click.
Examples include:
? Patient demographic information from ADT/HIS systems
? Radiology images and reports, including PACS images
? Laboratory reports
? Outpatient (Ambulatory) and Inpatient (Acute) systems
? Medical document repositories
? Electronic clinical ordering/CPOE
? Hospital/health authority intranets
? Clinician email and calendar
? Transcribed reports and clinical notes
? Clinical guidelines
? Scanned documents
? Mental health
? Scheduling
? Clinical Decision Support
It goes on like that for several pages.
Is there some meaning imbedded in there someplace?
