GesundheitsNetz Tirol GNT Health Network Tirol Cross Enterprise Document Sharing and emedication via sense as first ELGA Implementations in Tirol GNT Project History GNT Project started in 2007 GNT Project Goals Implementation of a Tirol-wide IHE Affinity Domain + EHR to support shared care Decentralized Repositories Exchange of CDA Level 1 and 2 Documents via XDS Profile Integration of GNT Interface into localized EMR-Systems Current GNT Partners Tilak and 3 Regional Hospitals in Tirol, representing 4500 beds Further expansion planned (other hospitals, nursing homes, GPs etc.) Documents registered from 01.01.2009 until now official Go-Live: October 2009 GNT-Core Technology developed by ITH-icoserve ITH-icoserve is a Tilak subsidiary (70% Siemens, 30% Tilak) Technology is IHE approved and ELGA compatible 14
GesundheitsNetz Tirol GNT HealthNetwork Tirol GNT Project Full XDS affinity domain > 4 Mio documents online Live since 01/2009 Basic sense Infrastructure Community Node: Provides central IHE- Registry, ATNA Profile and the Affinity Domainwide Patient Index (PIX) Local Node: Each GNT participant needs a sense-local Node providing the interface to local CIS and EHR Repository. Registration also runs via Local Node. 15
sense Components and Communication Workflow Siemens sense is connectathon approved ATNA, BPPC, CT, NAV, ODS, PDQ (v2/v3), PIX (v2/v3), SVS, XCA, XCA-I, XCPD, XDM, XDR, XDS.b, XDS-I.b, XDS-MS, XDS-SD, XUA/XUA++.. with all actors. Certified by EuroRec. 16
ELGA Projects in Austria From EMR to EHR Integration of sense and its IHE XDS Mechanism into Millennium 17
GNT Access from a Patient s Chart After the consent form has been printed and signed the physician confirms its existence by activating a checkbox then he can continue. Adjusting Filters for GNT Query Starting Search for encounters and documents 18
Fetching a Document and saving it in our own HIS Integration of emedication Accessing a Patient s emedication List via GNT 19
ELGA Pilot Project emedication Initiated by the Austrian Ministery of Health, Austrian Social Insurance, ELGA GmbH, Federal States 3 Pilot Regions (Vienna, Upper Austria, Western Tirol) Objectives gaining experience with emedication centralized registration of all prescriptions made by GPs centralized registration of all medication delivered to patients by pharmacies increasing patient safety avoiding Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) avoiding double prescriptions Key indicators for emedication Pilot in Tirol 40 GPs 13 Pharmacies 2 Hospitals (one of them: University Medical Center Innsbruck) 10.000 Queries during Pilot Phase (June to December 2011) Project Evaluation by UMIT and the University of Vienna Informing Physicians about an emedication Patient Physician opens the EMR of a patient participating in emedication Popup will inform about the possibility to access the patient s medication list 20
Accessing emedication List via Tab e-medication from EMR Check-Box to confirm that patient has given verbal consent for accessing emedication List Button to fetch emedication List Importing emedication List into Siemens syngo.share and the EMR Activating Button in Akte übernehmen will import the current emedication List into Siemens syngo.share and the patient s EMR 21
