Microdea’s Synergize Clinical Document Repository (CDR) solution consolidates patient data across hospitals and health centres into one central and interoperable health IT environment. As a result, hospitals and health centres, across a Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), are able to achieve a fully integrated hybrid EHR. Clinicians are also provided with instant access to complete patient records, thereby improving their ability to make critical clinical decisions and deliver optimal care.
In today’s healthcare scenario, a patient visits multiple hospitals, health centres and specialty treatment centers over time. This causes patient information to become disjointed across numerous locations in different HIS and EMR Systems. Under these circumstances, the critical need to have a cumulative and longitudinal view of a patient’s medical history is often time consuming and costly to achieve. LHINs require a regional repository of up-to-date patient records that are easily shared among their member institutions.
The Synergize Clinical Document Repository (CDR) solution cost-effectively consolidates all sources of reports and patient information from multiple HIS and EMR Systems within the LHIN over time, through inbound HL7/XML messages, file uploads (SFTP), faxes and paper records. The documents are then securely stored in a robust and scalable data repository, enabling physicians and medical staff to immediately see data for a newly transferred patient such as their encounter history, original diagnosis and description of symptoms. The need to maintain duplicate records for a patient is eliminated as all relevant clinical documentation is easily accessible to authorized personnel anywhere, anytime with the click of a mouse.
The solution provides end-to-end visibility as complete audit trails of user activities are available through standard reports. This combined with the CDR’s embedded levels of security ensures data integrity and enables healthcare organizations to achieve compliance with regulatory requirements. The Synergize CDR interconnects patient data, clinicians and healthcare facilities across the LHIN, and is thereby a vital component to the EHR strategy.
