Seamlessly tie in all your processes and systems into a common semantic model. The data model spans all clinical constructs such as CCD/CCR plus a rich vocabulary for specialties like oncology, cardiology, radiology, pathology, orthopedics and clinical research; operational constructs such as personnel, equipment, facilities and inventory; and financial constructs such as claims and remittances, costs, revenues and margin.
Change the paradigm from "after-the-fact" reports that are based on historical data to pro-active real-time alerts. From a single active repository, notifications are generated when exceptions are about to occur - such as a patient becoming eligible for a follow-up or a course of treatment, non-compliant prescriptions, potential insurance denials, quality metric trending downwards etc.
Tools like electronic master patient index (EMPI) and master provider index eliminate duplicates and result in a single source of the truth. Standard terminologies like CCD, ICD-9/10, CPT, LOINC, SNOMED, NDC, RxHub, ANSI EDI and DICOM are used to normalize disparate data to a common vocabulary.
