MediSolution offers solutions for
outcomes data
MONTREAL – MediSolution Ltd., a
leading healthcare and public sector information technology company, has
announced the general availability of a series of Virtuo System
Integration solutions to help Ontario healthcare organizations handle
the complex data issues involved in Health Outcomes for Better
Information & Care (HOBIC) implementations.
MediSolution’s HOBIC system integration solutions have been successfully
implemented in two pilot sites as part of the HOBIC early adopter
rollout.
The Ontario Ministry of Health’s HOBIC implementation will standardize
the collection of patient health outcomes, staffing and quality of work
life information, reflecting a variety of disciplines, including
nursing, throughout the province.
This information will allow nurses to plan their care with the objective
of achieving the best patient outcomes and allow administrators and
researchers to describe how different nursing interventions and
different numbers and types of nurses affect patient outcomes. The HOBIC
initiative is currently being implemented across all acute care, complex
continuing care, long-term care, rehabilitation and home care facilities
in Ontario.
To avoid costly manual intervention, the required data must be extracted
from multiple Healthcare Information System (HIS) clinical suites and
transmitted to the central HOBIC servers in an HL7 batch file over a
secure FTP link (SFTP).
Coupled with a thorough understanding of the HOBIC initiative and the
various data types involved, MediSolution’s Virtuo System Integration
team has specialized expertise in HIS APIs, HL7 messaging and HTTP and
SFTP communications protocols and procedures. Leveraging a number of
proven solutions and integration tools, the Virtuo System Integration
team will work directly with each client to design a turnkey HOBIC
integration solution for their unique environment.
“Virtuo System Integration solutions are a proven, safe and sound choice
for all organizations struggling with the complexities of HOIBC
implementations,” said Paul Lepage, president and chief executive
officer at MediSolution. “Our Systems Integration team is backed by 150
years of collective integration experience and field-proven in more than
200 successful deployments involving more than 150 different vendor
applications.”
In addition to HOBIC, MediSolution offers seamless systems integration
solutions for all provincial data repositories initiatives.
