Alder Hey’s Need to Streamline IntegrationSummit Healthcare

• Create “current state” diagram of all interfaces (custom interfaces)

• Create “future state” diagram with new project interfaces included. Monthly Status Reports keeping track of current and future interface projects

• Eliminating and recouping unnecessary interface costs (no need to buy duplicate feeds or pay maintenance)

• New Departments with interfacing expectations? (ex: Bedside Monitors data to PCS/EDM)

• Identify interfaces required as part of future projects looking 12-24 months post 6.X Live for future ROI

• Driving need to integrate real-time, longitudinal health information from a wide variety of electronic health record systems at different hospitals, physicians and ancillary care providers.

• End result – Better more informed patient care and stronger patient outcomes

Alder Hey’s Comprehensive Plan:Summit Healthcare Pulls the Pieces Together

• Dedicated Project Manager & Engineer

• Planning & preparing for “gotchyas” including what the REAL costs are especially regarding interfacing

• Learning from Proven Integration Strategies with MEDITECH

• Detailed Project Plan to ensure Milestones are met and Implementation stays on track

• Keeping long term strategic goals in mind: • Integrating with community physician offices• Patient portals• Sharing data with other Trusts

Legacy Data Archiving• What data do you need as discrete data in MEDITECH? • What data can be stored in an archive and referenced

on “as needed” basis? • Need to be able to get the data you need off legacy

systems to keep from paying support on those systems for too long.

Data Migration/Conversions• What dictionary data is MEDITECH not

migrating/converting? • What data to your clinicians need access to and for

how long? • What administrative/financial data needs to be kept

and for how long?

Data Migrations

The Project at a glance:

• Accurately migrated over 30 dictionaries from various modules in under 4 weeks!

- included 65,000+ dictionary entries

Modules Migrated:

Additional Facts:

• If a person manually did this at a rate of 3 per minute, it would have taken them over 9 weeks to do it.

• If done manually, this project would have an error rate of about 3% that would be 1,950 errors that would have to be corrected manually.

• MIS• PHA• ABS• LAB

• PCI

• OM• CWS• Etc…

Benefits of a Downtime Solution• Patient Safety – Access to ALL critical data 100% of the time • Eliminate the costs associated with downtime perils• Allow staff to be proactive instead of reactive. Alleviate the
