System definitions:
Analytics (PLICS): A business intelligence tool that provides patient level costing information, systematically analysing electronic patient data to monitor patient level costing (may include healthcare resource groups).
BI & Data Warehousing: Integrates data and information collected from various sources, e.g. electronic patient/health records, enterprise resource planning systems, radiology and lab databases, wearables etc, into one comprehensive database.
Blood tracking: A system that electronically tracks and matches blood products with the correct patient (from fridge to vein).
Cardiology: A specialist clinical information system is used for cardiology.
Clinical data warehouse: A centralized repository for a healthcare organization’s data retrieved from disparate sources, processed, and structured for analytical querying and reporting.
Clinical workflow engine/integrated care pathways: A system implemented that enables it to create rules driven electronic care pathways mapped to standardised treatment protocols.
Integration Platform: Software that supports the integration and interoperability of various clinical and management IT systems and services.
Main Community System: A main community system is a software system that supports the delivery of community health services by enabling electronic patient records (EPR) and case management. They help to improve patient outcomes by providing a single view of patient information, supporting multi-disciplinary team working, integrated health and social care services, and online and offline mobile working.
Patient Engagement Portal: The patient engagement platform is used by healthcare providers across the system to securely share data and interact with patients/carers to better support/manage patient’s health and wellbeing.
Pathology: Pathology testing is managed electronically.
Theatres: A specialist theatres system is used to manage patients and surgical procedures in theatres.
Video Consulting: Is a system that is used when a patient speaks to a doctor or healthcare professional using the video camera in their smartphone, tablet or computer.
Virtual Wards: Virtual wards, also known as virtual care wards or hospital-at-home programs, are healthcare models that aim to provide hospital-level care to patients in their own homes. These programs typically utilize telehealth technologies and remote monitoring systems to deliver medical care and supervision to patients who would otherwise require hospitalization.
