InterSystems launches the new generation of HealthShare

Madrid, 2012-may InterSystems Corporation, world leader in software for connected healthcare, launches the latest generation of InterSystems HealthShare ™, strategic computer platform for interoperability and active analytics. Originally designed for the exchange of information in healthcare (HCE) at regional and national levels, HealthShare has been expanded and restructured to also provide the advanced technologies they need integrated health services networks.

“Adding value to the connected care

“”HealthShare is a unified strategic platform that allows organizations, not only capture and share patient data, but also analyze, understand, and act on data to offer a new dimension of value,” explains Paul Grabscheid, Vice President of strategic planning of InterSystems. “While the previous generation of software integration focused on the connection of systems at a transactional level, today health requires technologies that they can add and unlock, intelligently, the data of the patient through the systems to enable new solutions for connected care.” “With the new capabilities offered by HealthShare now is possible to promote the informed actions that improve outcomes for the patient and the operational effectiveness.”

Transform the care delivery model

Throughout the world there is a growing recognition that current models of care delivery need a major transformation and that the information technologies truly innovative are vital to achieve this goal. Health organizations are watching the rise of care and payment models that require share complete patient data between the teams of care, organizations providers, health plans and public administrations. Responsibility in clinical decision-making is shared between several suppliers, that use different electronic clinical histories (HCE), internetwork HIE (Exchange of information) and departmental applications systems. There is also an addition of complexity and challenge, since most of the clinical information is usually found in the form of unstructured data (dictated notes, images and free text) and inaccessible.

“In recent years, health providers at all levels, from large hospitals to smaller medical clinics, have focused on implementing the HCE at the point of care”, says Grabscheid. “Now, the same organizations recognize that, even the deployment of more sophisticated application for the HCE, is only the first step…” “Now we are entering a reality after the HCE”. HealthShare provides essential technologies to move beyond capture and share health information. It’s a computer platform that enables the strategic understanding, analysis and performance on 100% of the data of each patient, so doctors are not forced to make treatment decisions with less information available in all the records of a patient.

Improvements of the new generation HealthShare

To add value to the connected care and transform it into a model based on data and attend the patient-centred, the new version of HealthShare offers:

dissemination of knowledge: HealthShare now includes patented technology iKnow, InterSystems, which lets you recover and use health data not structured. iKnow can detectautomatically, the concepts within the text without need of a predefined dictionary or other complicated or costly implementation. HealthShare automatically analyzes documents and the text seeks to unlock the relevant relationships and allows the user to quickly navigate to the desired content. As a result doctors can be identified more efficiently, the vital information in a world where proliferate HCE networks and data grow within them.

Active analytic: HealthShare Active Analytics technology allows access to immediate patient data to make informed decisions that can improve outcomes. Through its integrated data model focused on the patient, this component of HealthShare continuously collects, adds, normalizes and presents data from organizations of all the community responsible for the attention. Active Analytics can send notifications to caregivers or start-up processes clinical or operating on the basis of rules invoked from a previous analysis. Thanks to the powerful modeling of data, intuitive tools for the design of dynamic tables, graphs and tables, and other advanced capabilities, Analytics HealthShare Active discover missed opportunities associated with purely retrospective analysis, without the high cost that involves creating and maintaining a data warehouse.

To be a complete platform HealthShare allows rapid development of advanced solutions, eliminating the costs and complexities that are inevitable with the traditional technological solutions. Visit www.intersystems.com/HS2012 for more details on the basic capabilities of HealthShare.

The leaders of the industry, the first users to offer his opinion

Health technology leaders appreciate the announcement of the new generation HealthShare from multiple perspectives. “The layer of infrastructure public and private solutions HCE, including the full database and integration technologies, combined with a robust backbone of security and privacy, is the basis to transform delivery of care for New Yorkers model focusing on the patient”, says David Whitlinger, Executive Director of New York eHealth Collaborative. “HealthShare combines these technological infrastructures and capacity to access clinical data of critical importance, to provide a complete platform on which to build innovative health solutions.” “This allows the care Act connected and coordinated, adding value to the organizations at each point in the process of care”.

Path tested around the world

InterSystems is globally recognized as a provider of technology solutions deployed successfully, even in the most demanding of attention connected scenarios.
