Mobile approach to recording and updating new plans
HIS System
Benefits:Simplified and Streamlined approachTime to conduct rounds reduced by 30%Instant updates of medical infoZero error rate, reduced from 10%
Big data SolutionsBIG DATAFuture of Healthcare
A doctor could diagnose problem in 3 different ways
The Problem with Healthcare
TraditionDoctor’s limited medical KnowledgePatient's known history
40,000 patients die in ICU each year due to misdiagnosis
The solution= BIG DATA
Current Tech Smart Devices
By combining the data from many devices and tech they can have a greater insights about medicines.
Computers are better than doctors at:Organizing and recalling dataIntegrating patient’s symptoms, history, environmental factorsHaving much lower error rates.
`
This technology will generate 1000’s of data points about a persons’ health which will lead to cheaper and faster diagnoses.
Interoperable IT environment
HIE Integration makes your data sharing flexible with other hospitals, healthcare providers and public health centres.
The purpose of HIE integration is to secure clinical data efficiently and more effectively enabling seamless data exchange in different EHR communities saving both time and cost.

• HL7
• Health Level Seven (HL7), is a non-profit organization involved in the development of international healthcare informatics interoperability standards.HL7 and its members provide a framework (and related standards) for the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information.
• Healthcare organizations are looking forward to implement HL7 to increase interoperability and quality standards.
• MU2 – (Meaningful Use – 2)Meaningful use is using certified electronic health record (EHR) technology to: Improve quality, safety, efficiency, and reduce health disparities Engage patients and family Improve care coordination, and population and public health Maintain privacy and security of patient health information
Stage 1 - Data capture and sharingStage 2 - Advance clinical processesStage 3 - Improved outcomes
Key Findings
• Healthcare companies are increasingly borrowing technology specialists from other industries.
• They must bring business and technology closer together to take advantage of the wealth of data being generated to improve health outcomes and constrain rising costs.
Provider• 75% are currently hiring new employees to support their IT priorities as clinical
informatics will be the most important skill for achieving their IT priorities.
Payer• Insurers ranked systems and data integration skills as most important to meeting HIT
priorities and 89% think it is very important to have employees trained to integrate and analyze data from various sources.
Pharma• Companies need a new set of tech skills to support emerging methods of conducting
