What
is Emerging Health Solutions?
Emerging Health Solutions is a patient centric clinical information
system that provides a multidisciplinary team of clinicians
with an online tool set designed to facilitate clinical service
delivery processes and to provide an electronic medical record
at the point of care.
Emerging Health Solutions
has been designed by Australian clinicians to
be used in all clinical service delivery units
in any healthcare setting. The primary users
of Emerging Health Solutions are all members
of the multidisciplinary team involved in providing
patient care during any episode of care. The
web based design and the internet browser interface
permit Emerging Health Solutions to be deployed
in both single and multi-entity organisations
and makes Emerging Health Solutions accessible
to clinicians at the point of care, irrespective
of whether the care is being provided within
a healthcare institution or in the community.
All of the available medical record information for
each patient is accessible to the authorised clinician electronically,
in a clinically useful way, through a variety of on-screen
views. Clinicians then follow their own very familiar workflow.
Reviewing patient records gives the clinician a real-time,
up-to-date indication of the status
of the patient. Using Emerging Health Solutions, clinicians
can then complete a broad range of routine tasks and initiate
a wide variety of services required for any given patient
during an episode of care. Actions taken using the system
are automatically documented and may trigger one or more
subsequent actions in line with clinician preferences and
best practice standards.
The toolset available to
clinicians is enhanced by a range of decision
support functions built into Emerging Health
Solutions. A combination of the way information
is presented and the use of alerts, prompts and
decision support functions help to ensure that
tasks are not overlooked or forgotten and that
errors and duplication are minimised or eliminated.
Emerging Health Solutions
operates in the clinical environment in real
time. The intervention of any clinician is visible
to all others in the team providing care for
that patient. Communication and collaboration
within a clinical team using Emerging Health
Solutions is enhanced further through the use
of clinical messaging. The Clinical Messaging
function permits clinicians to securely send
clinical messages, which remain permanently linked
to the patients’ medical record, to one
or more members of the team.
Clinicians working with Emerging
Health Solutions need to spend much less time
on administrative tasks like reporting activity
data and repeatedly filling in forms.
A by-product of using the comprehensive
toolset provided in Emerging Health Solutions to
manage patient care delivery processes is the automatic
generation of a detailed electronic medical record
for each patient. The medical record generated
supports a limitless number of unique identifiers,
making it easy to integrate with electronic health
record implementations ranging from the local to
the national level.
The broad range of activity data
that becomes available to a healthcare organisation
using Emerging Health Solutions provides a rich
source of information that can be injected into
management decision making processes.
The Emerging Health Solutions
CIS is a single, fully integrated application,
bringing together a full comprehensive set of
tools for clinicians to use in their daily provision
of patient care.
The Emerging Health Solutions CIS puts powerful ICT tools
in the hands of clinicians working in multidisciplinary
teams that facilitate, in a very practical way, the work
of all clinicians in the team. The patient centric approach
to collating and presenting clinical information used
in Emerging Health Solutions enables clinicians to communicate,
co-operate and collaborate in ways that improve the standard
of their work as a team, the health outcome for their
patients and create real business benefits for the organisation
they operate in.
