This facilitates close collaboration and communication across care teams as well as with patients, aiming at achieving better and more timely outcomes:

  • Accelerate productivity by providing physicians summarized and specific information at their fingertips
  • Facilitate interactions between care teams along with their patients for timely and precise decision-making
  • Empower patients to actively engage in their own healthcare to enable meaningful participation

Applications

Putting the patient in the center of care

Care Collaboration Applications

Patients are treated by numerous health professionals from various institutions that all need to collaborate with each other to make the best care decisions and provide ideal treatment to their patients. This requires exchanging data and expertise, such as insights into past findings, pre-medications, laboratory, and radiology data, as well as vital signs. To achieve this, eHealth applications aggregate the data in a contextual manner, embedded in clinical workflows.

Patient Engagement Applications

Maintaining continuous and meaningful communication with patients can reduce the risk of patients deviating from treatment and adherence to care plans as well as medications can be facilitated. Ultimately, a stronger relationship and active engagement can lead to improved patient health, wellness, and satisfaction.

Seamless Interoperability

The vendor- and system-neutral HIE platform, comprising eHealth Solutions Infrastructure components, helps to build more connected healthcare systems by removing barriers, aggregating data, and by breaking down data silos, whilst helping to protect patient privacy. Healthcare providers can transform data into insights, potentially leading to improved quality outcomes and better decision-making. By fostering interoperability across different institutions and sectors, digital transformation for operational efficiency and clinical effectiveness is enabled. Data-rich longitudinal views of the patient journey help improve care delivery.

The eHealth Solutions data flow 

Over the course of a lifetime, a person has contact with a variety of health service providers, such as check-ups, examinations and inpatient stays. This sequence of health-related points of contact is also referred to as the “lifelong health journey” or “patient journey”.

With all the health-related touchpoints, the IT systems of healthcare facilities generate not only findings, images, and prescriptions, but also extensive documentation: a multitude of data. Harmonizing, aggregating, storing, and sharing this data between healthcare facilities could be of crucial, often even life-saving importance for patients. Data availability and collaborative workflows could lead to significant time and cost savings for new examinations and massive improvements in response time.

This is exactly where eHealth Solutions comes in.
