MEDxConnect technology provides affordable seamless connectivity and interoperability between diagnostic acquisition devices, HIS, RIS PACS, and their related information systems.
The key components of the MEDxConnect enterprise integration solutions include: the Medical Message Mediator (M3), the Virtual Worklist and the Systems Management Dashboard (SMD).
Medical Message Mediator (M3)
The centerpiece of the MEDxConnect technology is the Medical Message Mediator (M3). Supporting HL7, DICOM, and other standard messages, the M3 uses the communications protocols and semantics of each participating information system to control the flow of images, reports, messages, standard patient demographics plus other important data for diagnosis and treatment planning of a patient between otherwise independent and disparate systems.
The greatest source of interoperability issues is associated with the fact that different systems use proprietary data structures to store and move information. The M3 maps the data elements, bridges isolated islands of data and mediates interoperability between the different applications, creating a virtual integrated information system that adheres to the IHE technical framework. This information can then be reliably used to manage pre-fetching rules, study routing rules, study distribution, and report creation and delivery. The M3 uses DICOM, HL7, XML, SSL, TLS and other standards to ensure HIPAA compliance in both procedural and security.
Virtual Worklist
The MEDxConnect Virtual Worklist is a software product that runs on the MEDxConnect M3 server and leverages the M3 capabilities. The Virtual Worklist and M3 enable users to build a complete and flexible system to efficiently manage the diagnostic and reporting radiological services throughout the Enterprise. This is accomplished through the ability to retrieve and store diagnostic images on DICOM archives, the ability to manage their activities via a patient work list generated from multiple PACS or network systems, and the ability to route images to participating physicians based upon any combination of modality, body part, and/or referring physician through rules created by the customer. To maximize productivity and reduce spikes in workload, physicians have the ability to access patients work lists throughout the network. The Virtual worklist permits proactive management of workflow through load balancing techniques.
Systems Management Dashboard (SMD)
In order to maintain the highest level of efficiency, a Healthcare Enterprise must be able to monitor the workflow. However, one of the greatest problems in a Healthcare Enterprise is to find inefficiencies or bottlenecks in workflow in order to correct them. The Compressus MEDxConnect Systems Management Dashboard (SMD) provides the needed overview in monitoring enterprise activities and assist in identifying the inefficiencies or bottlenecks. Using a variety of alphanumeric and graphic tools to display workflow operations, the SMD is a powerful tool which will enable users to quickly find and correct problems to make the Healthcare Enterprise more efficient.
