Prosessium^® Care Pathway Management

Healthcare process

Healthcare process management is a concept that helps healthcare providers improve patient care and reduce costs by combining the proven power of imaging, workflow, and customer service solutions with next generation application integration tools, robust process analysis, and an intelligent rules engine. The use of healthcare process modeling provides a basis for risk assessment and process improvement.

Prosessium^® care pathway management solution
Prosessium^® care pathway solution helps the user to map and model the care processes step by step. For every step healthcare provider can define default orders and care, task and check lists, costs/resource utilization and criteria for quality and outcomes. The process model can be easily modified without a need of external experts. The model is automatically transformed for the workflow driven patient care. This is helping healthcare organizations to follow the agreed care processes and identify the situations when more individualized decision making is required. The automated care documentation generation is one of the most important added values of the Prosessium^® solution. It has been designed to support the dynamic care process management at the level of an individual patient. The solution minimizes the need of manual documentation and supports clinical decision making.

By using Prosessium^® modern workflow engine technology the healthcare provider receives real-time feedback on actions and events that may affect the health and the care protocol of a patient. It saves the time of caregivers by bringing critical clinical information to their attention as soon as possible. Patient care improves because potentially dangerous situations are detected quickly and brought to the attention of those responsible for managing the patient. The on-line quality control helps the user to identify system failures and adjust the standardized processes accordingly.

Prosessium care pathway management solution makes it easy to produce standardized but configurable clinical notes, including physiological data, procedure reports, medication, nursing notes and admission/progress notes. Our commitment to HL7 standards (RIM, HL7 2.X and CDA) and SNOMED will enable effective integration to patient devices, clinical services like pathology, radiology and laboratory and to electronic patient record. Tight integration increases the quality of documentation and decreases need for manual input giving the health care professionals more time for care.
