Over the last twenty years the healthcare informatics industry has evolved. As regulations and revenue service centres developed, companies responded by building software to support these endeavours. As a result, the healthcare industry has:
Each of these kinds of systems serve a niche purpose but most are dated or do not have the ability to resolve today’s overwhelming problem – fragmented information leading to fragmented care. Healthcare organizations desperately seek a system that will deliver the right data on the right individual, in the appropriate context, at the point of care delivery.
Most health record companies tout their experience integrating computer systems and CentriHealth is proficient in that skill set also; however, our goal is to help our customers transform their healthcare environments. This requires Interoperable Healthcare, not just interoperable systems.
The CentriHealth Individual Health Record (IHR) places the care of the individual at the centre of the design. Our ability to transform and repurpose all sourced data allows us to deliver individual-centric clinical information in new ways. The IHR is a single, unified and understood health record for each individual in a single database that delivers to providers and individuals personalized and individualized access to the same information, contextualized in the way each user community needs to see it. This allows the entire care team (including patients/members/individuals themselves) to collaborate on each person's individual care. This next generation system is changing the way care is being delivered, making care provably more efficient, effective and of higher quality.
