Enable information access

Receive up-to-date information and data relating to a patient within seconds via a clean, intuitive, web based interface. Allow staff to securely share access to the patient record from different departments and locations. By storing patient records electronically, the system eliminates the need to wait hours or days for a paper record to be retrieved from off site storage. By allowing clinicians to have access to patient records on an ad-hoc basis the system ensures that staff have dependable access to information whether in an emergency situation or in the consultation room. All information traditionally contained within a physical patient record folder can be stored electronically including image scans and other specialist formats.

Improved efficiency

Health authorities conduct their services across multiple sites, often in an increasingly geographically dispersed environment as authorities attempt to best meet the needs of their patients. By scanning patient documents the system removes the need for authorities to store and transport paper patient records. The ECS Clinical Records module also delivers genuine process improvements by allowing staff to create and work with clinical documents directly. For example hospital staff can initiate the patient discharge process by creating a patient discharge summary and submitting it for appropriate review and sign-off before formally discharging the patient.

Integrate systems

To gain a unified view of a patient record, the ECS Clinical Records module is easy to integrate with existing applications. This flexibility allows healthcare clinicians to access full patient information on complimentary systems such as patient appointment booking systems or databases. The ECS Clinical Records module offers the best in content management practice combined with our industry experience.

User friendly interface

A dashboard view presents the user with a quick search to a patient record, most recently accessed records, recently edited documents as well as documents and tasks awaiting action by them. There is an option to browse a patient record and view patient documents by speciality, category and date in instant preview mode.
