Clinical content growing rapidly

Providers have become one of the largest consumers of data, with imaging making up over

33%of all data generated within healthcare.

But it doesn’t just stop with DICOM content. While full of holes, electronic clinical content is made up of

80%unstructured data.

Centralized Imaging ArchiveCase Study (Finland)

• Medical images were stored in data repositories that were vendor and/or system specific

• Made sharing of the information between hospitals and systems within the region difficult, or even impossible

• Created significant expense when migrating medical applications as medical data was proprietary formats

EMC was able to migrate multiple data repositories into a single, standard, shared format to build the world’s first cloud archiving service based on XDS technology:

• Provides services to store, publish, search and retrieve imaging related documents

• Stores 1 million medical images annually (over 100TB)

Considerablecost savings realized

Valuethrough access to patient information across modalities, hospitals and clinical disciplines

National Health ArchiveCase Study (Finland)

• A comprehensive view of patient information was unavailable to clinicians

• System hospitals, private clinics and pharmacies were unable to exchange patient information between facilities

• Needed a common way to share all patient information by leveraging healthcare standards (HL7 / XDS)

EMC was able to build one of the world’s first unified national patient record archives based on XDS technology to keep digital healthcare information protected, secure and continuously available for:

• 300,000 professionals within the Finnish public healthcare and pharmacies, as well as private medical clinics

• 5.3 million Finnish citizens

PioneeredIHE XDS profiles supporting medical information exchange

ROIExpected to generate major financial savings, among improvements in patient service, diagnostic excellence and other areas of delivery

CHALLENGE SOLUTION

Integrated PlatformCase Study (United Kingdom)

• Demand for services was growing as funding declined

• Older legacy clinical systems were proving inadequate and costly to maintain

• No single view of the medical record or facility to share information—affecting productivity and patient care

• Regulations mandated increased data security

EMC delivered an integrated solution for managing and sharing patient information and images using XDS technology to optimize care through:

• A single enterprise content management platform

• A regionally shared VNA

• Integration with their EHR to address clinical access and patient care needs

ROISignificantly reduced operational costs, while meeting the ever growing demand for immediate access to clinical information

CHALLENGE SOLUTION

Integrated Image SharingCase Study (Belgium)

• Mostly proprietary storage for electronic documents, scanned documents and for digital PACS images

• Inability to retrieve and share documents from these systems on-demand

• Difficult to manage upgrades to storage silos, in addition to long backup and restore times

EMC delivered a single, vendor-neutral clinical content repository leveraging open data standards for DICOM, HL7 and XDS to:

• Aggregate medical images and patient documents across multiple systems

• Provide seamless access to all forms of patient information

• Ensure compliance to defined retention policies and security

Increasedcare quality due to immediate access to information, with no record-access downtime

ROIFinancial return recognized through system consolidation, while improving operational efficiency

CHALLENGE SOLUTION

National Healthcare CloudCase Study (Georgia)

• Lacked complete platform to support government mandate for an electronic healthcare system (a national EMR)

• Inability to implement international standards to capture a minimum data set of electronic medical records

• No mechanisms to monitor, govern or audit the level of care being provided to citizens

EMC was able to centralize all forms of patient information and content enable the EHR to provide access to the national medical archive utilizing XDS and cloud technology, enabling:

• 360 degree view of the medical record, accessible across the continuum of care

• Management and sharing of documents and medical images

ROIIncreased efficiency and maintained a consistent level of care service by being able to seamlessly store and access medical data from a single source
