Designed to support safer care Patient safety and clinical user acceptability are key design features of all Medway EPR developments. Our aim is to help reduce medical errors and support best practice, which will not only improve the quality of care but help reduce the threat of litigation and lower insurance premiums. In addition, clinical decision support is provided in a number of areas such as Orders & Results, Clinical Noting and e-prescribing. Intuitive command and control, supporting ease of access to information At the heart of the system are configurable patient worklists, which highlight the current status of a patient s pathway through the organisation, as well as clinical tasks which need action. These lists provide configurable content and are filterable by the type of records they show. Most importantly, all relevant information is offered to the end user in real time. MEDWAY EPR HIGHLIGHTS Features Dynamic worklists are used across all modules to provide users with the ability to configure lists of patients who require action to be taken e.g. patients that require acknowledgement of results, follow-up appointments and discharge summaries Supports the full range of scheduling in both Outpatients and Theatres, providing tools to manage appointment availability and appointment allocation for all patients, including Choose and Book Patient tracking throughout, providing micromanagement capability for each patient, e.g. within Emergency Department, Outpatients, Inpatients, RTT pathways Industry standard HL7 interfacing capability Modern technology based on integrated Microsoft platform, adopting the NHS/Microsoft, Common User Interface (CUI) standards Benefits Modern and intuitive to use Functionality to support clinical and administrative workflows and patient pathways in use across the modern NHS The patient homepage provides a single access point to a patient s entire electronic record - orders can be placed, assessments completed and results viewed In-built design features promote high standards of data quality, ensuring data analysis is accurate and supports the highest levels of patient care Allows integration with external third party systems, including single sign-on and patient context passing Supports touch screen devices, patient kiosks, patient photo capture and storage Aligned with government initiatives: paperless working (e.g. fully-integrated EDMS); proforma support and mobile access to aid data collection; patient access to records; improved integration of third party products and open APIs
Medway Interoperability suite includes the capability to amalgamate data from a wide range of third party systems such as Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS), Theatres and PACS. Our open integration architecture allows for the richest possible level of integration with relevant systems. As part of Medway Interoperability suite, Trusts are offered the tools to configure generic data widgets. The widgets allow data from suitable external systems to be combined into the patient s home page. This enables Trusts to configure complete and comprehensive electronic patient records within the solution with minimal recourse. Viewing data from other systems in patient context The suite also allows integration with other Medway EPR modules, into a summary view of clinical information. This patient homepage enables a complete summary view across the patient EPR and for its use to be controlled, adjusted and audited based on the user s role and identity. Single sign-on and context links to data and functionality in other clinical systems offers a comprehensive patient record from a single place A range of options exists for User interface integration to third party systems, one of which includes context-based integration. For example, a PACS viewer can be launched with single sign-on and patient context, in order that images are displayed from within a Medway frame. Supporting Choose and Book referrals Medway has been designed with integrated Choose and Book functionality, providing direct bookable outpatient referral and appointment bookings. MEETING LOCAL NEEDS Configurable features allow Trusts to apply their own processes and standards Coded data capture can include local values and using mapping tables Customisable layout: Data capture screens can be edited for content, description and mandatory status, thus minimising the impact of changing systems and working practices Clinical modules such as Order Communications, e-prescribing and Clinical Noting, provide mechanisms for Trusts to apply their local protocols and standards around care delivery Medway EPR Patient Homepage showing summary data in configurable widgets An example third party PACS integration with Medway, called with single sign-on and patient context
