Delivering patient care, coordinating with specialists, managing administrative tasks, interacting with payers and staying up to date on the latest evidence and protocols -- these are among the many tasks you juggle and they all depend on accessing and sharing information in a secure manner. However, collaborating to get a comprehensive picture of a patient's health and billing status or a colleague's schedule, for example, is made difficult by fragmented and disparate systems where information is often trapped in silos. In addition, you are often overloaded with so much information, it's difficult and time-consuming to discern what's most relevant. Time-challenged health professionals need tools that deliver the right information at the right time and make it faster and easier to collaborate across the healthcare ecosystem.
Microsoft health portal solutions provide the foundation for more streamlined and efficient information sharing. This helps healthcare professionals work together more effectively, respond to issues more quickly, and deliver higher quality care at a lower overall cost.
As a central information hub, a healthcare portal can be tailored to the specific needs and roles of particular users. This gives the right people instant access to relevant applications, content, and services that facilitate collaboration and enhance community. Combined with mobile devices such as Tablet PCs and Pocket PCs with Microsoft Windows Mobile software, healthcare portals provide the framework for delivering access to information at the point of care. Because they are built on proven Microsoft technologies, healthcare portal solutions help provide the security framework needed to achieve compliance with HIPAA and other mandates.
Health portals are just one more example of our ongoing commitment to Knowledge Driven Health solutions that help health organizations provide people with the information they need when they need it so they can turn it into knowledge-driven action for improved patient, clinical, and business outcomes. Health portals are available in the following implementations:
Clinical portals that deliver consolidated access to patient information through a single entry point.
Administrative portals that enable streamlined access to business and financial data within and among organizations and allow for the timely and broad updating of staff.
Staff portals that provide self-service access to human resources information, training, organizational communication, and departmental information.
Patient portals that offer new ways for patients to access health information and communicate with their doctor.
