VESALIUS - CIS™ (Clinical Information System)
At novaHEALTH, we understand the critical issues posed
by the information-intensive nature of healthcare - the need to
document and share information, while providing quality care cost
effectively.
Our VESALIUS - CIS™ suite of solutions is tailored exactly to
empower healthcare providers with a practical solution.
Each of our modules is designed with high-degree of user intuitiveness,
utilizing the best technology to enable the highest level of integration
with the clinicians’ work environment.
PHYSICIAN SUPPORT SYSTEMS
An
essential module in any general clinical setting, VESALIUS - CIS™‘ Physician Support System (PSS) was designed to provide
caregivers improved patient education, care and documentation
in a multi-practice environment.
The system tracks all notes made by the physician and presents
the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) in a logical & structured
way. There is a capability to perform body charting on images & tag
digital photographs of clinical encounters with these charts allowing
physicians to graphically follow the patient’s treatment
progress and disease outcome.
PSS also comes with Order management to support direct order entry
of medication, investigations such as laboratory & radiological
tests and procedures. These requests are instantly
routed to relevant departments for processing.
In prescription, PSS captures medical alerts and drug allergies
to prevent adverse drug events. The system can also be integrated
with drug & dosing databases to improve patient safety.
Administrative tasks such as medical reports and referrals are
simplified with auto-extraction of data into standard templates.
ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS
PSS operates across all clinical and ancillary services to capture
and unify a single cumulative patient record. The central EMR
repository provides physicians with real-time access to vital
patient information
to help make treatment more objective and personalized to individual
needs. This greatly reduces the dependency on labour-intensive
activities such as medical records extraction.
The data such as
lab results and vital signs can also be presented in a timescale
chart to highlight progress made over specified
period. VESALIUS - CIS™ includes a function to measure patient’s
response to treatment protocols. With this unique feature, the
physician has the ability to review outcomes, analyze trends
and make quality adjustments to the care given.
PERI-OPERATIVE CHARTING
VESALIUS - CIS™ extends into the needs of operating theatres
via our Peri-Operative Charting module, designed to assist
surgeons, anaesthetists and nurses in:-
- Day surgery recording of nursing notes
taken during admission and preparation for surgery
- Consolidation
of clinical information on the surgical procedure
from information provided by anaesthetists, surgeons
and theatre nurses
- Co-ordination of post operative care instructions
- Autologous
blood management
- Peri-Op can be extended to cover medical
and surgical specialties such as Endoscopy, Colorectal
and Urology.
ONCOLOGY PRESCRIPTION
In an oncology clinic, complicated regimes of drugs are often
prescribed for the cancer stricken patients. These drugs
vary in dose and frequency. And any mistakes made in either
the preparation and dispensing of these drugs can often lead
to potentially catastrophic outcomes.
Our oncolgy prescription system was designed so that these
errors are minimized. There are constant checks and reminders
to both the prescribers and the dispensers. There is also an
audit trail to look back and prevent these life-threatening
errors.
DISEASE MANAGEMENT
Disease Management (DM) is essentially a sophisticated intelligent
disease management system that helps in the clinical decision-making
process and care management. At the core, a rules-based engine provides a layer of intelligent
auto-prompters defined to “advise” the doctor on
recommended treatment & management for the patient at various
stages of a particular chronic disease. The engine can also
watch for adverse lab results or vital signs such as blood
pressure.
With CarePlans-Manager, standard treatment protocols can be
set-up adhering to evidence-based medicine. This ensures doctors
follow a minimum level of care in performing of investigations,
drug prescription & providing advisories.
Data from the DM repository can be used to track variances,
quantify outcomes & program benefits and review & enhance
existing protocols.
