EMR IT System Provides Decentralized E-Health Patient Care

This trend requires collecting and offering information crossing the borders of medical specialties in a true EMR. This drives the acquisition and dissemination of information crossing the borders of geographically distributed care organizations. The mission is to collect real-time clinical and administrative data, as well as images along specific clinical paths to enhance the quality of care while reducing costs.

Agfa HealthCare (Morsel, Belgium) provides this clinical path opportunity through its Orbis system in over 750 institutions across Europe with more than 450,000 daily users. Backed by the modular approach of the software architecture, implementation is at the pace of the customer and can be balanced in view of both short and long term efficiency impact; supported by intuitive human interface design, the system is non-disruptive for the users.

Globally deploying systems, Agfa HealthCare demonstrates the strength and flexibility of Orbis by delivering a unified single platform along the customer's individual path to a fully integrated EMR. Additionally, with over 80 separate modules, specialized systems within Orbis can address surgery suite management, critical care unit management, skilled nursing, home health, workflow, logistics, dietary, and finance.

Agfa HealthCare's Enterprise Clinical Portal simplifies physician and nurse access through a unified view to relevant patient information, relieving the clinical care team of the need to manage multiple log-on identifications (IDs) and passwords across various patient information databases.

Agfa HealthCare's Clinical Data Center (CDC) is a real-time database of structured and unstructured data collected from disparate clinical sources. It enables management of large data volumes (beyond terabytes; to petabytes) to satisfy permanently growing archives long-term while taking full advantage of existing disparate legacy enterprise systems.
