Unified Health Information
Effectively managing patient information is critical for any healthcare provider, and the larger the organization, the harder the task. Paragon’s Unified Health Information solution integrates information scattered across a variety of medical information systems and leverages whatever records schema has been developed for an organization’s electronic health record (EHR) to provide a level of support for clinical processes that cannot be matched by any single system.
Paragon can deliver a Unified Health Information solution that enhances clinical, financial, and operational applications by capturing, managing, and providing electronic access to the data that resides outside these systems. Healthcare organizations can leverage the solution to streamline clinical and administrative processes and present a consolidated, patient-centric information view to departments across the enterprise. In conjunction with your electronic health record, the Unified Health Information solution can:
- Augment hospital information systems (HIS) and EHR systems
- Capture, manage, and store patient-related documentation in a single repository
- Reduce the complexity of back-end storage environment and improve accessibility to clinical and administrative information
- Provide a unified, patient-centric view of all enterprise-level patient and operational content
- Mitigate risk and liability with a platform that supports HIPAA compliance and accreditation reviews by The Joint Commission
- Enhance policy administration and enforcement and improve information security while providing a platform for collaboration and business process management
In spite of its power, the Unified Health Information solution is designed for modular deployment. For most healthcare organizations, the unified and integrated capture functions are the most practical starting points. Paragon can create a custom interface if desired, so there is also no need to rip and replace in-place infrastructure or applications. In instances where an organization has substantial investments in one of the healthcare market’s established systems, Unified Health Information solution access and functionality can be integrated with the interface of virtually any HIS.
