First-to-market innovation gives healthcare clinicians a "heads
up" within the electronic health record (EHR) that historical
patient records are available. The advanced feature of the visual
indicator saves time, increases clinical workflow efficiencies and
supports better informed treatment decisions.
SOUTH
BEND, Ind., May 20, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Harmony Healthcare IT's latest
first-to-market innovation, Legacy Record Indicator, provides a
visual cue in the EHR signaling when there are patient records
linked in the active archive, HealthData Archiver®. This advanced
feature empowers healthcare providers with immediate knowledge that
a historical patient record is present. This is important as legacy
records hold years of historical clinical data and valuable
insights into the patient's medical journey.
"This integration brings an immediate alert
of historical records to clinicians at the point of care to improve
workflow efficiencies and better inform treatment decisions," said
David Navarro, Senior Director of
Data Science, at Harmony Healthcare IT
In healthcare, every minute saved by implementing more efficient
clinical workflows supports improved patient outcomes. Currently,
medical providers spend an average of 16 minutes per patient in the
EHR with roughly five minutes of that time focused on chart review.
Providing a visual indicator alerting the clinician to important
historical patient health information reduces the number of clicks
and saves the clinician time.
"Our team is driven to innovate technology-based solutions like
the Legacy Record Indicator to serve our customers and solve
industry problems," said David
Navarro, Senior Director of Data Science at Harmony
Healthcare IT. "This integration brings an immediate alert of
historical records to clinicians at the point of care to improve
workflow efficiencies and better inform treatment decisions."
With more than half of all adults (51.8%) in the U.S. with a
diagnosed chronic condition (arthritis, cancer, heart disease,
asthma, hypertension, stroke, etc.) and 27.2% with multiple chronic
conditions, providing clinicians with a visual indicator to view
the longitudinal patient history, only when there is a historical
record present, supports a streamlined approach to comprehensive
health information.
Legacy Record Indicator benefits, include:
- Instant Identification – A visual icon alerts the user if a
patient has an archived record from within the EHR's patient
chart.
- Single Sign-On Convenience – The ability to access archived
records from the indicator button.
- Configurable Display – Options to choose where the indicator
appears within EHR (i.e. story board, print group or navigation
pane).
- Direct Integration – The indicator leverages HL7 v2 interface
with a custom HealthData Archiver observation.
This new feature highlights Harmony Healthcare IT's concentrated
effort and focus on improving the patient and clinician experience
by advancing its HealthData Integrator™ capabilities. This
integration improves the connectivity between HealthData Archiver®
and the go-forward EHR by allowing Single Sign-On from the visual
indicator within the active patient record.
Legacy Record Indicator is currently available for Epic users.
HealthData Archiver® is available in Connection Hub on Epic
Showroom. Live and in use at many Epic customer sites since the
integration was first made available in 2019, HealthData Archiver®
supports efficient management of historical patient, employee, and
business records.
