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 HIPAA proposed regulations of September 2000. Our legacy
product was reviewed by Health Canada staff in 1995, 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.
