Integration Overview

Today leading hospitals depend on Electronic Medical Record (EMR) solutions for access to critical patient information, but continue to rely on paper documents, such as paper chart records, consultation forms, progress notes, and other clinical documentation. Those hospitals also rely on key non-clinical systems for the information needed to manage operations and revenue cycle functions, which in turn rely on many paper-based documents.

Streamline Health’s document management solutions bring these documents online and seamlessly integrate them with the electronic patient record or other business systems. This gives clinicians access to more complete medical records, anytime, anywhere from within their clinical applications, saving time, enhancing patient care, and improving regulatory compliance. We deliver a flexible, integrated solution with STRM-IT, our integration solution that enables the STRM 5 Platform to support clinical information systems and other interfaces. This integrated solution leverages technology to enable better patient care through:

• A more complete patient record—to gain the full picture of each patient’s medical history that is critical to effective treatment, hospitals and clinics need patient records that include information from their patient care system.
• Integration with existing applications—healthcare systems have heterogeneous IT environments that include clinical systems as well as financial systems for revenue cycle management.
• Automated workflows—healthcare organizations have numerous workflows that require them to route patient documents and information. These workflows include completion of the chart by physicians, coding, and release of information, which can be seamlessly integrated with leading EMR and coding systems.
• HIPAA compliance—by providing access to documents in accordance with HIPAA regulations for privacy and security that can be prepared to comply with additional regulations.
• Scalability and reliability—the system must also scale to support additional documents and users, and be reliable to support critical patient care on a 24/7 basis.
