Electronic Health Records Management

Lack of coordination among health and human services organizations limits the reach, effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability of public programs and services. Scattered and incomplete medical records stored across multiple agencies can have unintended results, such as treatment oversights or conflicts, failure to take advantage of full benefits, duplication of benefits, and failure to maximize reimbursements.

An Electronic Health Record (EHR) Management solution can help you create complete records that comply with the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) and regional health information organizations’ (RHIOs) requirements, and span multiple organizations, including:

Providers
Clinics
Labs
Hospitals
Episodic data claims

The electronic health record (EHR) solution can help your agency provide better quality of record-keeping (such as episodic data claims) for the citizen and more comprehensive compliance practices through clinical decision support and complete documentation.

The EHR solution helps state agencies:

Give your employees the tools to provide better quality care through clinical decision support and complete documentation.
Deploy an interoperable, adaptable solution that enables citizens to review and manage their own healthcare information easily through a security-enhanced Web portal.

You can reduce agency costs and increase efficiency by transferring data across disconnected legacy systems, so you can enter information one time only, reduce the risk of error, and find the information you need at your fingertips.

The core capabilities enabled by the Microsoft Connected Health and Human Services (HHS) Framework and supporting Connected HHS Platform of technologies facilitate the development of more complete health records. Integration with the Microsoft HealthVault platform helps health care consumers to manage their health records more privately and securely and to take advantage of the growing ecosystem of rich healthcare partners that support the HealthVault platform. The Connected HHS Framework supports integration with all the standard repositories of healthcare patient data—including the Microsoft Amalga solution, which includes aggregate patient data within subscribing hospitals.

Members of the Connected Health and Human Services (HHS) Alliance work together with Microsoft to deliver best-in-class shared services and infrastructure solutions for consumer-centered health and human service delivery by government entities at all levels.
