cOS for Hospitals
The typical hospital has multiple information systems such as electronic patient records, appointment scheduling, admission/discharge/transfer systems, radiology, billing systems etc. The cost of installing, maintaining and periodically upgrading these systems usually amount to millions of dollars. The Net.Orange solution for Hospitals orchestrates the flow of vital information across these various clinical and financial systems and databases and delivers timely and actionable knowledge to hospital administrators and clinical staff. The solution thus not only leverages past and current investments of the hospital, but maximizes their value by synchronizing these applications.
The Net.Orange solution can thus be partially deployed as a glue that binds existing legacy systems or as a complete holistic suite of products for hospitals currently using minimal systems or wishing to perform a technology refresh.
The Challenges
The need for a single, accurate, timely view of patient info
Today's hospital is a complicated environment with many departmental systems spanning several specialties. Enabling a single integrated view of the patient information -- clinical and financial -- is a central challenge facing most hospitals. Often, the information about a patient cannot move as fast as the patients themselves. The result is inferior quality of care, long wait times, billing delays and coding errors.
An emphasis on operational excellence
Healthcare organizations are under tremendous internal and external pressure to improve quality of care and streamline operations. Hospital executives must meet high performance standards in order to be successful and ultimately achieve operational excellence. Initiatives such as outcomes tracking and measurement, for evaluating pay-for-performance metrics; six sigma process control and lean healthcare practices require a robust technology framework that seamlessly and securely integrates data from
Specialization
As hospitals are increasingly competing along their strengths in specific clinical areas, clinicians are looking for custom-tailored systems that can represent the unique complexities of their therapeutic area. For instance, a cancer specialist is looking for a single solution that can assess current treatment options, with a chronological view of all historical interventions -- chemotherapy, radiation therapy, investigative agents (clinical trials) and gene therapies -- along with the associated charts and recorded outcomes. A one-size-fits-all patient record system cannot provide this specialized view and is inadequate to support accurate diagnosis.
The Benefits
Net.Orange solutions benefit everyone in the hospital value chain. Benefits include:
- Increased community reach and higher quality interactions with patients and primary referring physicians
- Improves patient safety and quality of care through specialized therapeutic systems
- Reduces the need for costly product upgrades to improve system connectivity
- Increased revenue and efficiencies
