e-health in TILAK Motivation for Extramural Electronic Communication Extramural Communication The Conventional Way Intramural (TILAK) Extramural (e.g. referring Physician)? Millennium Clinical Clinical Document Document Folie: 102 Extramural Communication Conventional vs. Electronic Conventional paper-mail: most referring physicians do have office systems and prefer electronic communication communication via conventional paper-mail is cumbersome handling clinical results received cannot be imported directly into the patients EHR in the referring physician s office system speed is always an issue Extramural Communication Conventional vs. Electronic Electronic extramural communication text based communication (like discharge letters) transmission of images (e.g. DICOM), video sequences, etc. Electronic communication in healthcare is a central focus of the Austrian Government ( ehealth initiative) and within the EU Savings in operative costs less paper minimum handling costs no postal fees Folie: 103 Folie: 104 TILAK s Electronic Extramural Communication Channels Because of the advantages of electronic communication in healthcare TILAK currently supports 2 channels for transferring clinical results to extramural physicians, other hospitals etc. 1. via Austrian Reporting Networks 2. via TILAK s webportal health@net Millennium medikom Gateway EDIFACT-Format Advanced Image Management System Austrian Austrian Medical Medical Reporting Reporting Networks Networks e.g. referring physician s office system Extramural Reporting Networks Extramural Medical Networks Interfacing Millennium to Extramural Networks Sending Reports to GPs via Extramural Networks Workflow Aspects intramural (TILAK) extramural Folie: 105 14
Integration of Extramural Reporting Networks In Austria there are several Medical Networks to transfer clinical information from etc. Clinical Results (e.g. reports, lab results) can be transferred from one medical network participant (e.g. hospital) to another (e.g. a GP) Transport Format = EDIFACT (Electronic Data Interchange for Administration Commerce and Transport), an international UN-driven standard originally designed for international trade. Folie: 107 Integration of Extramural Reporting Networks original document EDIFACT transferred document Folie: 108 The electronic addresses of external GPs that can be reached via network, is an alias in the Personnel Alias Table.

Sign off of a completed document is the trigger event for conversion into EDIFACT- Format and for the transfer via extramural networks to GPs. Integration of Extramural Reporting Networks Integration of Extramural Reporting Networks Update of GPs that can be reached via network Central LDAP Server A Millennium OPs-Job runs every 10min Millennium Clinical Report in EDIFACT-Format, containing the receiving GP s MEnumber as mail address looking for documents ready to be sent. ftp-transfer Mail address and encryption certificate of the receiving GP Gateway Server Message will be signed with the sender s certificate.

Via health@net GP s, hospitals, insurances, etc. can access patient related information (medical reports, images) without having to be a customer of existing Austrian medical networks. Each health@net user can only access patient related information that has been released explicitly for her/him (e.g. because she/he is the patient s referring physician) health@net has been designed by UMIT, icoserve, ITH and TILAK.

Role of AIM in Extramural Communication via health@net Dicom PACS Dicom As AIM already contains image objects (DICOM -images, video sequences, pdf-docs, etc.) from all possible clinical sources (e.g. RAD- Modalities, digital cameras, video, subsystems, etc.) it serves as backend repository for health@net.

Folie: 127 Folie: 128 Summary and Advantages of health@net health@net (www.healthnet.or.at) is TILAK s webportal for electronic extramural communication of clinical reports and images Extramural communication partners can apply for a free of charge health@net account Whenever a new clinical result (report, image) is available for a health@net user, he will receive a notification email Summary and Advantages of health@net Health@net s main advantages are Speed Cost Reduction (no postal fees for TILAK, usage is free of charge for health@net users) Seamlessly integrated into authentication workflow health@net can provide medical documents as well as medical images GP can import the results received electronically directly into his Patient s medical record High Transmission Security Secure communication via https-protocol Logging health@net can also be used for communication with scientific partners Folie: 129 Folie: 130 ELGA Next Steps Towards an Shared Electronic Health Record Elektronische Gesundheitsakte Electronic Health Record National architecture and infrastructure to access well defined health data Status: Architecture concepts are being developed Project is government driven!
