EMR365
A PRODUCTIVITY SOLUTION FOR
HEALTH CARE
EMR365 is an end user productivity solution by XtreamIT for hospitals and healthcare organizations. It provides a user familiar interface to doctors and medical personnel for their day to day operations. Built with Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Office 365, the solution can be deployed as a fully independent, stand alone service on Microsoft Azure or in your private cloud. The integration with Microsoft Office 365 allows the productivity workflows to move into Office 365, while EMR remains the system of record for medical data.
HealthCare and Cloud based productivity
healthcare organizations (HCOs) will need to invest in true communication and personal productivity tools to support effective clinician communication and collaboration. When it comes to cloud based productivity solutions, many healthcare organizations are adopting Microsoft Office 365 (O365). O365 not only provides a familiar user interface for users but also offers security and privacy of patient data. It is one of the few industry solutions dedicated to maintaining HIPAA compliance to help protect sensitive information.
XtreamIT's EMR365 is the only
solution that combines the
productivity of Office 365 and
the power of cloud to deliver a
fully integrated end to end
solution that works with your
existing EHR/EMR
Enhancing Communication and
Collaboration
EMR365 lets you quickly enhance
and expand your collaboration and
communication services with
enterprise-class security and
reliability provided by Office365.
EMR365 brings together online
versions of Microsoft's trusted
communication and collaboration
solutions, including Microsoft
Exchange Online, Microsoft
SharePoint Online, and Microsoft
Lync Online
Care team collaboration Improved
communication among team members and between care teams at hand-off points can help mitigate adverse medical events, achieve workflow and process improvements, improve staff utilization and productivity, and reduce patient length of stay and costs through
efficiency gains. EMR365 enables your users to share calendars and schedule meetings using Microsoft Exchange online. SharePoint Online stores documents and team communications, including email about a given project or function, in one place, which is referred to as SharePoint Team Sites. Through social networking in SharePoint, healthcare professionals can follow people, care teams, documents, and sites.
Remote worker integration Not all employees work within the "four walls" of the healthcare organization. Using Microsoft's Lync and Exchange, people working remotely can
communicate easily with their colleagues using email, IM, and voice. With a click or tap, they can schedule a meeting to set up an audio- or videoconference call. Lync Online provides high-definition multiparty videoconferencing in addition to instant messaging and voice over IP (VoIP) services and collaboration support. This makes it possible to also conduct training and education sessions online and remotely, saving staff time and money by avoiding travel. Instant access to expertise In large healthcare organizations, especially those with multiple locations, it can be difficult to quickly identify who can respond to a given issue. Using the Skill Based Search feature of Lync or the IM an Expert download, users can identify people that possess certain expertise, even if they do not know them by name. For example, clinician areas of expertise could be recorded in the skills directory to help clinicians locate
the appropriate specialist to request a consultation or refer a patient to. The skills directory could also be used to track languages spoken.
An important distinction of
Office 365 over its competitors is
that the healthcare organization
owns and has full control over
the data residing in Office 365.
There is no advertising revenue
model to access and use the
service, so employees have
complete control over who has
access and how they can use the
data. Office 365 is financially
backed by a 99.9% SLA, another
important consideration in light
of steep fines for violations of
privacy and security regulations

HealthCare and Cloud based productivity
According to the 2014 HIMSS Analytics Cloud Survey, 83% of IT healthcare organizations are currently using cloud services, with the number growing to 92% in the near future. 67% of IT healthcare organizations are running SaaS-based applications today, with 15.9% running on an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform, and 2.4% using Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) applications. Hosting of Clinical Applications and Data (43.6%), Health Information Exchange (38.7%) and Backups & Data Recovery (35.1%) are the most common applications of cloud-based applications today. Cloud is the best option for secure, accessible and costeffective data storage, and the combination of the cloud, mobile and data analytics will continue to transform the healthcare industry. Cloud-based solutions allow significant flexibility and cost savings derived from economies of scale over traditional approaches. A migration to the cloud enables the rapid deployment of healthcare IT and shifts the cost of IT from capital expenditure (capex) to operational expenditure (opex).According to IDC Health Insights, Electronic healthrecords (EHRs), as they are architected today, lack true collaboration capabilities, resulting in clinician inefficiencies and dissatisfaction. According to a recent IDC Health Insights survey, the top 2 reasons for physician job dissatisfaction were related to being less productive - because more time was spent on documentation (85%) or because physicians were not able to see more patients (66%). Nearly half (49.1%) of dissatisfied or neutral physicians report that EHRs do not follow their workflows well, suggesting that
