AxSys Health posting in HIMSS HIELights - May 2011 HIMSS News By Alan Gilbert Without a doubt, healthcare leaders today face a challenge of Herculean proportions: How to select, implement and maintain collaborative and coordinated care technology. Today most existing vendors are offering multi-vendor, non-integrated functionally bolted on to conventional EHR or HIE systems.  What’s needed is a cohesive system that was built from the ground up to specifically serve the needs of a collaborative and coordinated care platform. Solutions designed to meet this need would include the following components: Interoperability Layer Enterprise Master Patient Index Semantic Mapping Access Control and Security Framework Team Management and Collaborative Clinical Network Management Clinical Care Process Modeler EMR Framework Data Analytics Alerts and Notification Management Patient Portal/Patient Health Record (PHR) Electronic Prescribing Specialist Clinical Applications Chronic Disease Management Utilization Management Case Management One has to look to the United Kingdom for examples of these types of established, collaborative care solutions, many implemented and in use for more than 10 years. These include solutions that provide management of gynecological cancer across a region of hospitals and 2.5 million people; management of cleft lip and palate patients; a 20-year care plan that starts at birth managed across the entire country of Scotland; and a regional group that manages chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients across broad and remote geographic areas. Without a doubt, healthcare systems and other organizations in the United States are beginning their search for tomorrow's technology in anticipation of catching up with their international colleagues. What should they ask themselves throughout the process? How many vendor solutions are needed to form a complete ACO? If buying products from multiple vendors, are the products integrated or interfaced? If not, when does the vendor plan to offer this? Can the selected solution support widespread care coordination - both within an organization and beyond its walls? Will the solution support data exchange with multidisciplinary care teams and other stakeholders? Can the selected solution accommodate legacy systems so those investments can continue to be leveraged? Can the vendor point to successful implementation of a chosen solution, and users that can provide an assessment of the technology? Does the selected solution have a multi-layered security platform? There's nothing wrong with looking to tomorrow's technology for today's solutions; but vendors with a history of successful coordinated care solution implementation should be given serious consideration. Alan Gilbert is the vice president of Business Development for AxSys Technology, Ltd., which specializes in the development and implementation of clinical solutions to improve and coordinate the delivery of healthcare.
