In clinical care settings, every minute matters for safer patient care. Teams using Medicus without an integration with their hospital system can spend as many as 10-30 extra minutes per patient, per day. Reduced time for care puts data quality at risk and can lead to duplication naturally leads to errors
Connecting Medicus to your hospital systems matters. When information is automated and records are unified, you will see the results immediately. You will avoid duplication, have access to reports quicker and your dashboards will reflect up-to-date data for meaningful feedback.
The Everyday Task of Duplicate Entry
In a typical shift, referrals/admissions, transfers and discharges are taking place constantly. With standalone or “siloed” systems, the hidden work of copy-pasting, retyping and codes reconciling lists will mount up.
Duplication is not only time-consuming, but it also creates inconsistencies. A small mismatch between systems may take hours to fix or even go unnoticed. All of which could lead to delays or errors with clinical decisions.
Streamline Data Entry to Boost Efficiency
As a modular system, Medicus can achieve automations through seamless integration with a variety of digital solutions whether this is your EPR, PAS, CIS, Lab, Theatre or other systems. We work with all suppliers such as Philips, Oracle Health, iMDsoft, Epic and many more to make this possible.
Integration Changes How You Work
Medicus can integrate in both directions with your hospital systems via HL7, FHIR or other methods, to achieve the optimum automation process. Demographics, admissions, transfers, discharges, and core referral/admission data auto-populate while summary reports of activities can by pushed back to your hospital systems so that all teams are aligned.
The benefits of integration:
- No duplicate entry is required
- Consistent, audit-ready data for review
- Faster clinical decisions with accurate and timely data
- Time returned to focus on clinical care.
