In Healthcare–Information is Everything

Continuity of Care Record: Data Visualization for Better Clinical Cycle Management

The Challenge

In a Healthcare context, information – readily accessible, accurate and up to date – is everything. More so in the cases of complex patients, who pose a difficult challenge in terms of clinical management- they often require different therapies and medications, that sometimes conflict with one another and require precise coordination between different medical specialties. To complicate matters further, a patient may be assisted for different pathologies in different healthcare units, with their own independent IT systems and communication networks.

Our client needed a solution to aggregate, consolidate and display complex information scattered across multiple services and healthcare units – so the healthcare professionals would be able to provide the best service possible.

The Solution

With this in mind, Devoteam Portugal developed the CCR (Continuity of Care Record) – this solution collects information from all available sources of the client’s healthcare facilities and systems, consolidates and displays that information in a uniquely designed UX/ UI environment based around individual timelines and episodes, unifying all relevant clinical information in one intuitive dashboard.

Now, all the patient’s clinical data can be reviewed under a single roof, regardless of the specialty or healthcare unit (clinical notes, release notes, exams, prescriptions, and any other relevant information generated during the patient’s clinical cycle) – this increases the effectiveness and safety of clinical procedures and generates a more collaborative and integrated environment between medical specialties, in designing therapeutic approaches.
