E-prescribing Software
E-prescribing software enables healthcare providers to send prescriptions directly to a pharmacy electronically. This improves prescription accuracy, increases patient safety by reducing medication errors and streamlines the medication management process.
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS)
CDSS are computerized programs used within the healthcare setting to support decision-making processes. They analyze data within EHRs to help healthcare providers make clinical decisions, such as diagnoses and treatment recommendations.
Remote Patient Monitoring Tools
Remote patient monitoring tools include devices and software that monitor and transmit patient health data to healthcare providers in a different location. They're used for ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions, post-hospitalization care, and preventive care monitoring.
Patient Portals
Patient portals are secure online websites that provide patients 24-hour access to personal health information from anywhere with an Internet connection. Using a secure username and password, patients can view health information such as recent doctor visits, discharge summaries, medications, immunizations, allergies, and lab results.
Personal Health Records (PHRs)
PHRs are health records where health data and information related to the care of a patient is maintained by the patient. This goes beyond standard clinical data collected in health providers' offices and can include a broader view of a patient's care by collecting data from multiple sources.
mHealth (Mobile Health) Applications
mHealth applications are mobile apps designed to promote patient engagement and health education, enabling remote monitoring and data collection. They provide personal health tools, support management of chronic conditions, and facilitate health promotion and disease prevention.
Telemedicine Platforms
Telemedicine platforms allow healthcare professionals and patients to interact via videoconferencing or messaging, often used for remote monitoring, diagnosis, and consultations. This tool bridges the gap between people and healthcare services, especially for those in remote or under-served areas.
Interactive Patient Care (IPC) Systems
IPC systems are integrated platforms within hospitals that enable patient engagement, education, and entertainment. Through IPC, patients can access their health information, communicate with their health care team, and learn about their conditions and treatment plans.
Health Information Exchange (HIE)
HIE is a network that enables the electronic transfer of health-related information among organizations according to nationally recognized standards. The goal of HIE is to facilitate access to and retrieval of clinical data to provide safe, timely, efficient, patient-centered care.
Electronic Health Records (EHRs)
EHRs are digital versions of patients' paper charts and contain patient history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory test results. They are used for tracking patient data over time, identifying patients who are due for preventive visits and screenings, and monitoring how patients measure up to certain parameters, such as vaccinations and blood pressure readings.
