IHR Transforms Claims Data Into Useful and Actionable Clinical Information

State and Federal government health leaders are searching for the right interoperable infrastructure and health record solution that effectively engages individuals in their health as well as enabling providers to facilitate online collaboration with each other and with individuals.  The answer -- Individual Health Record™ (IHR™).  The Individual Health Record, a longitudinal holistic health file, is a new, innovative solution that is used by individuals and the provider community to, for perhaps the first time, truly engage individuals in improving their health.

Most environments are mired in the flow of clinical and demographic information from multiple provider master patient indexes, practice registrations, laboratory, imaging, acute and ambulatory systems; these create substantial obstacles to making even a basic health record that is usable. IHR has the ability to take both historical and current data and transform this basic information into useful and usable clinical information as an immediate starting environment for the IHR.  All other sources can then be incrementally merged into the same record in a fully integrated fashion as the politics of obtaining access to those sources are resolved.

IHR is a single environment and record that delivers:

• A population-wide master health infrastructure with a single, individual-centric electronic health record in which all information is not just reposited but is understood and to which all providers caring for the eligible individuals have access.
• A personal health system that goes well beyond the traditional PHR because it is the SAME health record that the provider uses; all individual and electronic sources contribute to create a dynamic and collaborative record for improving and monitoring health and disease.  This is, of course, particularly effective in caring for the chronically ill.

IHR provides government health agencies the capability and flexibility to create a comprehensive health record solution for all stakeholders  – and to do so rapidly.
