The AxSys toolset of technologies, referred to generically as Excelicare, has been used to develop and implement working solutions covering many areas of care. Current implementations span complex cancer care across a region-wide network to the remote monitoring of drug compliance in elderly patients living at home. These are examples of what can be achieved with Excelicare and not a reflection of any limitation in its scope. The toolset platform utilises extensive communication technologies such as video-conferencing, interactive voice response telephony and email, as well as technology to handle rich multi-media content including DICOM standard images.
Excelicare supports clinicians in key activities such as review, documentation and collaboration. It also provides decision support through the use of clinical process management tools that may be embedded within 'special forms' as well as through a powerful 'script designer'.
External hospital systems are linked through Exceliport, AxSys' interface and integration engine supporting a variety of standards including HL 7 and XML.
A friendly and functionally rich electronic patient record forms a base platform module to which a variety of modules, including telemedicine technologies, can be added, allowing the system to grow with the increasing requirements of the user. The base platform comprises problem lists, progress notes, laboratory results, and media items such as images (supports DICOM3 standard), audio and video. A Designer Toolkit enables the creation of clinical modules, which include sophisticated data capture forms, summary documents, letters and charts. Additional modules for multidisciplinary collaboration and management can be plugged in as required. All these plug-in modules are seamlessly integrated into the electronic patient record platform. Excelicare is an application for collaborative, multi-disciplinary care of patients. It offers healthcare institutions a uniquely different approach by providing an integrated solution that is highly configurable and meets the requirements of all disciplines, departments and specialties.
| The unique tool-set based architecture of Excelicare allows AxSys to offer highly tailored solutions that reflect complex working patterns of clinicians across the healthcare spectrum. Its ability to support user-defined clinical algorithms and protocols along with the in-built clinical library of forms and documents makes it an ideal system for patient data management. | |
