VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corporation

An Enterprise-wide Clinical Information System that includes CPOE, Decision Support, comprehensive Clinical Documentation and the Electronic Patient Record

VisualMED Clinical Solutions provides the complete electronic patient record. VisualMED obviates the need for redundant, paper-based activities by doctors and nurses. All patient care is prescribed and documented in an electronic media that may include wireless devices with remote access via an Internet portal. The computerized physician order entry (CPOE) module with more than 30 levels of decision support is an expert system with knowledge base and inference engine that validate information provided by the user according to algorithms the support the nuance of local practice.

VisualMED decision support validates all therapeutic decisions taken during the patient’s hospitalization in real time while the doctor is actually writing his or her prescriptions, based on information available to it from multiple sources. The risk of adverse drug events (ADE’s) with their attendant morbidity and mortality, as well as the resulting prolonged length of hospitalization, is greatly reduced. Medication side-effects are reduced, prescriptions are not needlessly duplicated, and important clinical information is brought to the attention of the prescriber proactively, so that complications of therapy may be avoided. CPOE and the automatically-generated Medication Administration Record are seamlessly integrated, along with related clinical documentation into an interactive Electronic Patient Record that supports concurrent access on site and at a distance.

The VisualMED Clinical System is an important tool through which the healthcare team is able to deliver a higher quality of care. CPOE decision support is at the heart of the comprehensive VisualMED electronic patient record which includes all doctors’ and nurses notes, as well as notes from all other members of the healthcare team, care plan, medication administration record and results reporting. VisualMED completely obviates the need for the paper medical record, and can be accessed at a distance securely.

The implementation of the VisualMED Clinical System in a hospital setting allows for audit of medical interventions and their outcomes, and helps medical administrators determine that their staff is practicing the highest quality of medicine. The audit mechanism also assures that appropriate regulatory standards are being met, and biometric electronic signature provides a level of data security at the highest level.

The VisualMED Clinical System is a single clinical point-of-access for the healthcare team which communicates with existing legacy systems including Admissions (ADT), pharmacy, laboratory, radiology and PACS through HL-7 interfaces. Through its interfaces, VisualMED captures all clinical information available on every hospitalized patient at any given moment, representing essentially the totality of data required by the hospital clinical staff to perform their duties. Healthcare personnel are able to access information culled from a variety of different sources through this single software solution. As well, depending on site needs, VisualMED can be configured to include its own ADT, laboratory and pharmacy inventory systems – a best-of-breed solution with point-of-support through a single vendor.
