Electronic Health Record (EHR)

Complete integration at the heart of improved healthcare

Typically, medical records were scattered between various physician offices, hospitals and clinics, with doctors sharing some but not all patient information and sometimes missing critical data. Now, through our integrated health record system, doctors here have complete patient information. The additional information allows staff to make better clinical decisions, which leads to improved healthcare and ultimately, better health outcomes.

Electronic Health RecordConnected patient information anywhere anytime.Orion Health™ Electronic Health Record (EHR) offers secure access to a single reliable and accurate patient record. It combines powerful technology with a user friendly, single sign on portal that connects hospital clinicians and administrators, as well as authorized external parties such as primary care providers, insurers, social services agencies and specialist consultants.

DELIVERING A SINGLE BEST PATIENT RECORDEHR is an elegant, easy to use solution with powerful integration capabilities

It leverages the functionality of Orion Health Clinical Portal (web based) to provide and display a single best patient record based on data collected along the complete patient journey from the range of systems in place within healthcare providers.

The connection of these systems is underpinned by the powerful integration capabilities of Orion Health Rhapsody™ Integration Engine. The seamless integration improves internal and cross organisation communication and enables an EHR to function even when organisations swap in and out new applications or EMR modules. It allows for rapid response to change, gives the ability to implement new models of care and most importantly collaborate with other healthcare providers for patients they share care of.

PROVIDING THE PLATFORM FOR IMPROVED HEALTHCAREThe vast majority of healthcare costs incurred are through patients with non-communicable diseases. Health systems have to move away from delivering provider focussed episodic care towards long term care that covers all healthcare providers across the patient journey and include patient and family self-care to meet this challenge.

On top of the single best patient record provided by EHR, workflows that span multiple healthcare providers can be supported. This includes patient centric Case Management that ensures care for a patient is coordinated across multi-disciplinary teams and that evidence based guidelines are followed. With the addition of Orion Health Patient Portal, integrated with Case Management, patients and their families become an integrated part of the care delivery team empowered to take more responsibility for managing their health conditions and maintain wellness.

By delivering a consolidated view of patients’ records based on data along the complete patient journey - irrespective of the range of systems in place within healthcare providers throughout a region – Orion Health EHR offers many benefits:

Improved Patient Health, Wellbeing and Outcomes – A single view of a patient record supports better clinical decision making, and risk analysis, particularly where allergy, medication and co-morbidity information is available.

Saves Time – Reduces care giver time spent searching for all relevant patient data and ensures that treatment can begin immediately as all information is readily available.

Reduced Costs – EHR eliminates the cost of duplicate tests and procedures, and through enablement of coordinated care delivery can reduce unnecessary hospital admissions.

Enables Co-ordinated Care Delivery – Increased access to timely and up to date patient information through a role-based portal by any authorized person from any location, results in enhanced clinical collaboration on patient data and heightened delivery of care.

developed a full featured technology set with extensive ability to integrate with existing systems from standards based systems such as LDAP, through to non-standard systems or legacy applications such as PACS viewers.

Powerful IntegrationData can be integrated from the majority of disparate systems, so local clinical and often legacy systems can be left in place. It also then provides one click access to familiar products such as diagnostic image viewing systems, document scanning and easy linking to internal and external resources.

Web based Leveraging the Orion Health Clinical Portal technology allows secure, online access to the single accurate patient record for all caregivers at the point of care.

Intuitive User InterfaceDesigned by clinicians, for clinicians; the typical portal user interface minimizes clutter and emphasizes the important and clinically relevant information, while presenting an intuitive navigational model. On top of this base functionality is the ability to further customize the interface for different healthcare provider roles.

Customized NotificationsThe solution allows control of the notifications end users receive. Rather than being overwhelmed with data, clinicians now have the flexibility to tailor the EHR to suit different care settings, specialties and practice by deciding what information they get and when and how they get it.

The actual methods of notification can be altered to suit the circumstance, such as email alerts for new information like abnormal results and SMS/pager alerts for emergency room (ER) admissions.

Secure User MessagingThe portal provides the ability to secure message other users, allowing one click access to create messages that link to the patient record or to specific items such as documents or laboratory results. User messaging can only be accessed within the portal, so there is no risk of confidential patient information being forwarded to an unauthorized party.

Our goal is for all Singapore health organizations to have real-time clinical information for treating patients. This milestone, National Electronic Health Record (NEHR) go live, represents a significant step towards achieving our vision.
