EHR Interoperability Benefits - Electronic Health Record Systems

A secure, easy-to-manage storage and access to the complete patient imaging record.

Patient health records continue to be the underpinning for healthcare facilities’ ability to provide high-quality patient care. These records comprise information regarding past medical visits and procedures, active and past medications, allergies, and laboratory results, just to name a few. They also contain imaging reports and documentation that help to support diagnoses, treatment planning, care coordination, and patient follow-ups. When all of these critical elements of patient health information come together, a holistic health record can start to take shape and comprehensive care can be delivered.

Synapse^® VNA for Powering Your EHR Interoperability Initiatives

In order to treat the whole patient, you must be able to see the whole patient. That is why Synapse VNA efficiently integrates multiple clinical IT environments, including Radiology and Cardiology PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications Systems), Radiology Information Systems (RIS), and many other medical imaging systems with the EHR, to help support a shared patient information system. Below are just a few Synapse VNA features that can help to make EHR interoperability and complete patient record sharing a reality for your organization:

Secure digital clinical content sharing: As healthcare enterprises and the number of the departments that comprise them continue to grow, connecting all of the siloed and disparate IT systems becomes increasingly challenging. With Synapse VNA, facilities can connect DICOM and non-DICOM clinical content from more than 30 specialty departments, and centralizes data security across the enterprise through a state-of-the-art managed IT platform. The result is comprehensive imaging that supports a holistic patient record that’s safe and protected.
On-demand image access: Physicians need to be able to access complete patient health information from all departments and locations throughout the enterprise. This includes at the patient’s bedside, in the reading room, and in their own homes. To support this need, Synapse Mobility Enterprise Viewer provides access to the entire patient imaging record via iPad, iPhone, mobile, PC, and Mac platforms through a zero-footprint application. The solution also acts as an EHR enterprise viewer by allowing patient image access through the EHR, helping to further support complete patient record sharing while improving clinical workflow.
Capture, share and store from the palm of your hand: The rise of Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) in healthcare also presents new opportunities for a VNA to further support your EHR interoperability and complete patient record sharing goals. Synapse VNA Connext Mobile is a mobile app that seamlessly integrates with your EHR mobile app to capture images, video, audio, and text notes and stores them securely in the VNA. Once stored in the archive, Synapse VNA sends a link so that any authorized user can view it directly within the EHR through a link to the Synapse Mobility Enterprise Viewer. The result is a more complete patient imaging picture that provides value across the enterprise.

Meet Your Interoperability Goals

With the electronic health record system (EHR) now the primary domain for patient health information storage, enabling digital clinical content sharing both within and outside of the enterprise is increasingly critical. To make EHR interoperability and health information sharing a reality, however, the right infrastructure must first be in place. In addition to EHR implementation, investing in a VNA, can help you to make complete patient record sharing possible.

Synapse^® VNA, a solution from the TeraMedica Division of Fujifilm, provides secure, easy-to-manage storage and access to the complete patient imaging record, as well as links all healthcare IT systems, to help make interoperability a reality.
