Solutions For Hospitals
The need for hospital Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) has been realized for
many years. Up to now, however, our level of technology had been unable to deliver
on the business requirements for the successful establishment of such a network.
If you are in the market for a solution that connects your disparate islands of
data (say you own one or more hospitals, one or more outpatient clinics etc) then
you really owe it to yourself to get to know what the HealthUnity ProHIN Health
Information Network provides. Sure, a physician portal sounds like
a good idea. But, that is yesterday's technology and it does not even come close
to addressing the problems in real life (e.g. an allergy reported in the outpatient
setting should be in your inpatient system for the drug-to-allergy rules to fire
at the time an inpatient prescription is ordered). You can start small and grow
from there. Even if you succeed in connecting just two islands of data, say, your
outpatient clinic referring patients to your inpatient hospital, then you are already
way ahead of the game than many of your peers. HealthUnity can help you achieve
your goals incrementally. Your CEO will be happy with the progress. Your CFO will
love you for how efficient you were with your organization's capital. Your physicians
will love you for the real results you have shown.

HealthUnity EntHIN Health Information Network is what networks
such as Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) and Health Maintenance Organizations
(HMOs) have been searching for. Such an enterprise may own one or more outpatient
clinics, hospitals, nursing facilities, emergency departments, and ancillary services
such as labs and radiology. The question is, how does one go about integrating clinical
data from disparate systems in use across these care settings? An interface engine
is one solution but, it has serious limitations. For example, an interface engine
is not going to get you the consolidated medications list, problems list and allergies
for a given patient across all of those care settings. The answer is HealthUnity
EntHIN Health Information Network.
The HealthUnity RegHIN™ Health Information Network encompasses
all our products allowing disparate healthcare entities such as outpatient clinics,
hospitals, labs and radiology practices to engage in clinical collaboration in the
context of patient treatment. RegHIN allows each entity in the network to engage
in bidirectional, message-oriented collaboration using the latest in web services
technology.
Any health information network must adhere to a high level of security and privacy
rules when handling confidential patient information. We have given careful consideration
to the privacy and security guidelines laid down by HIPAA. Role-based security,
user authentication, data encryption using Public Key Cryptographic Services (PKCS),
access control rules, opt-in/opt-out settings, audit log capability and many more
features are provided out of the box.
