The VisualMED System
The VisualMED Clinical Information System (CIS) is a scaleable enterprise-wide Electronic Medical Record with CPOE decision support at its core whose development is based on 10 years of experience with our first generation physician order entry system, still in continuous use at a tertiary care university-affiliated healthcare institution. The VisualMED Clinical System seamlessly integrates physician order entry and alerts / decision support with nursing clinical functions, including an automatically generated medication administration record (MAR), as well as with doctors’ and nurses’ notes. Given the need to access clinical and laboratory data for the purpose of decision support, results reporting and clinical data entry are integrated as well. Designed by clinicians with more than 20 years hands-on experience in the tertiary care environment, the VisualMED Clinical System is modular in concept and responds to the unique needs of each of the medical and surgical specialties.
The VisualMED Clinical System is compatible with existing legacy systems and communicates with them through HL7 interfaces. User-defined data fields can be created, and the system allows ad hoc generation of requisition forms similar in appearance to an institution’s existing requisitions for those services not on-line. Data can be accessed off-site in secure, read-only mode through VisualMED-Web, using Citrix Server for secure, encrypted, off-site data transmission.. VisualMED security uses biometric logon and order sign-off throughout, clearly superior to traditional ID/Password systems. All data access is audited, and our software adheres to the most stringent current HIPAA norms and regulations. Our legacy product was reviewed by Health Canada, the Leapfrog Group, 5Rights Consulting, and the American Society of Clinical Oncologists, and formally approved for medication and narcotic medication prescription. The system’s integrated DICOM viewer allows users to review image test results in the context of clinical patient findings, is interface ready, and is compatible with existing commercial PACS
