Fig. 1 Acquisition and audit-proof archiving Fig. 2 Integration in clinical and management workflows Discover the exceptional benefits of HYDMedia: Discover how you can save space: Healthcare is one of the most document-intensive industries. The ongoing need for hardcopy storage is challenging even the largest hospitals in terms of space and cost. Enabling facilities to remove paper-based and film-based documentation by offering these only in an electronic format will reduce overall storage space needs significantly. HYDMEDIA has the proven track record in managing different types of digitised archives. Discover how you can improve retrieval time: Obtaining paper from an archive typically takes more time than electronic retrieval of documentation. Along with the improved retrieval time, searches for similar information can be performed very easily. Electronic content management supports healthcare professionals by reducing the time taken to file, retrieve and re-file documents. HYDMEDIA combines all types of digital information into one information pool, which can be integrated in almost any healthcare IT system on the market today. Discover how you can improve disaster recovery: The reduction of risks like fire, flood or any other related hazards is always high on your agenda. The electronically stored hospital-wide critical documents can be backed up with the enterprise-wide electronic content management solution, securing your data, regardless of the type of disaster. Discover how you can save costs and improve productivity: The paperless hospital is no longer a dream. Agfa HealthCare s electronic content management system is a first concrete step to enabling your hospital environment in becoming paperless. Complex business processes can be automated and process based costs will be reduced. As electronic versions are available there is less need for multiple paper copies, therefore consumables and their associated costs are also reduced. Less time spent in searching for documents means more time for patient care. Healthcare professionals can now concentrate on more pressing tasks. HYDMEDIA helps to acquire and archive digital documents in an auditable manner with direct links to the original source and an entry within the electronic patient record (EPR) (Fig. 1). This platform also supports enterprise resource workflows such as integration into SAP ERP (Fig. 2). Agfa HealthCare s HYDMEDIA enables hospitals and healthcare organisations of all sizes to archive their paper-based documentation electronically and make these available across the enterprise, significantly reducing storage space, retrieval time and related costs. 03
Discover the right information, in the right place, at the right time Fig. 3 One view into the patient's EPR To streamline patient care by providing simultaneous and ubiquitous access to patient information, Picture Archive and Communication Systems (PACS) and Radiology Information Systems can be connected. HYDMEDIA is able to display DICOM structured objects. Clinicians can access relevant diagnostic information and link it to the Electronic Patient Record (Fig. 3). HYDMEDIA meets the needs of various occupational groups in a hospital and structures the EPR according to your wishes with minimal clicks wherever possible. Full text search and indexations complement the quick search functions and improve the efficiency of the clinicians. Enterprise Content Management Scanned external hardcopy documents, like a doctor s reference letter, diagnostic findings, correspondent invoices or delivery notes require individual workflows that cannot always be handled by clinical, ERP or HR solutions. HYDMEDIA offers you a unique business process platform for contracts, accounting and incoming mails as well as for procurement workflows (Fig. 4). 04
