Healthcare On Demand On Demand is a fundamentally new way to operate Healthcare Information Systems in order to:
An On Demand environment can enhance execution of Healthcare and expand decision support abilities and capabilities at the Physician as well as the Executive level, in order to create broader operational efficiencies, to ease integration and to implement new strategies in Healthcare. On Demand is a defined integration between Organizational processes, systems, information and people within the Healthcare Organization. The future operating environment of the On Demand vision builds on earlier efforts by Healthcare Providers to break down organizational silos and to optimize capabilities across the Healthcare system in order to expand and improve capabilities. Optimizing, modernizing and opening up individual legacy applications for more general access and use, is a step toward increasing system flexibility, reducing expenses and increasing responsiveness to Healthcare and societal needs. At every point of interaction -- at every transaction in a Healthcare organization -- there's an opportunity to increase speed and quality of care or drive productivity, to respond faster to a patient's needs, and to be more efficient in the Healthcare supply chain. The purpose of On Demand is to eliminate the gaps and spaces in the Healthcare Organization's internal and external activities and between the executives, the Physicians, the nurses and the patients themselves, and thus to fulfill the vision of integration. Healthcare On Demand essentially allows customized views of Integrated Clinical data and creates an improved environment for decision-making and workflow for Clinical staff. This enables Healthcare Organizations to improve healthcare delivery, to increase efficiency of work and communication between the clinical staff and to reduce operating costs. Healthcare On Demand is about empowering the IT infrastructure to fully support Healthcare goals, and providing that infrastructure with the intelligence to help transform the way Healthcare is performed. Why is On Demand essential to Healthcare Organizations? Healthcare on Demand essentially allows customized views of Integrated Clinical data and creates an improved environment for decision-making and workflow for Clinical staff. Providing horizontal, personalized, context-linked views of clinical and executive Healthcare information across the organization enables Healthcare Organizations to improve healthcare delivery, to increase efficiency of work and communication between clinical staff and to reduce . operating costs. The On Demand vision enables the transformation from a silo-based system approach into a dynamic and responsive horizontal approach, with focus on addressing workflow and user needs (Physicians, Executives, Administrators, Patients). Providing more comprehensive and complete information, on multiple devices, creates additional value. The Bridging of information silos, results in user productivity and propels cross-application and inter-operability. This enables the Healthcare Organization to dynamically respond to user requests, On Demand and in real-time. |
