Informatics

The goal of health informatics systems is to enable smooth transfer of data and cybersecurity across the healthcare enterprise. This includes patient information, images, subspecialty reporting systems, lab results, scheduling, revenue management, hospital inventory, and many other health IT systems. These systems include the electronic medical record (EMR) admission discharge and transfer (ADT) system, hospital information system (HIS), radiology picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), cardiovascular information systems (CVIS), archive solutions including cloud storage and vendor neutral archives (VNA), and other medical informatics systems.

The move into the electronic communication and medical documentation ERA has the USA in a frenzy. By frenzy we mean there were over 1300 EHR's initially on the market. Statistics now show there are less than 50 which will again be decreasing due to non compliant functionality. Also complicating the healthcare industry is the fact that the USA is one of the last modern day countries to adopt ICD-10 "International Classification of Diseases version 10". With this mandated legislation, the healthcare industry will experience one of the most dramatic changes in more than 30 years bringing the code set from 13,000 to more than 66,000 new and more meaningful combinations. Medorizon has been preparing to help with these changes and developed a number of targeted presentations to assist healthcare clients prepare for these new and upcoming changes taking effect October, 2014.
