The increasing adoption of digital solutions in the healthcare sector through the lens of Dedalus

SECTOR UPDATE - Dedalus

It is well recognised that healthcare digitisation is part of the changing landscape of healthcare around the world. At Dedalus we have access to significant global digital solutions which we are bringing into the Australian and New Zealand healthcare sectors. We strive to ensure these solutions are fit for purpose and adhere to the differences in clinical practice within each region as well as being compliant with the local legislative and regulatory requirements.

The Dedalus teams include experienced clinicians, as well as experts from related disciplines. A dedicated global “Medical Office” team advises the Product Business Unit for each solution on standards and guidelines, and the Clinical Safety Team oversees development to ensure the solutions are developed in the most clinically appropriate and safe way.

This approach enables us to bring solutions such as the ORBIS Electronic Medical Records (EMR), amPHI prehospital care record, and Swiftqueue outpatient appointment management system, into the Australian and New Zealand markets. These solutions expand on the already significant software footprint we have in New Zealand with iPM, webPAS, Medchart and ePharmacy.

ORBIS Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
ORBIS, Dedalus’s flagship EMR, is based on more than 25 years of experience, operating in over a thousand European hospitals, including in Germany and France where it is the number one EMR measured by hospital install base. In France, the ORBIS solution supports 39 hospitals, 21,000 beds, and handles over 11,000 admissions daily at The Assistance Publique-Hopitaux de Paris.

Usability and efficiency of use is a prime focus of ORBIS. Our health systems face significant challenges, and it is imperative that EMRs empower and support clinicians, who face constant demands on their time, energy, and their ability to focus on patient care. The ORBIS teams in Dedalus constantly work towards the following goals:

• Reducing the time clinicians spend on clinical documentation by focusing on workflows rather than functions.
• Reducing cognitive load through presenting consolidated and easily digestible information through the advanced, time-based ORBIS Patient Chart, and dashboards (e.g. personal dashboard, patient dashboard, and disease dashboards).
• Improving patient safety through fostering adherence to best practice medicine.
• Increasing access to information at the point of need through device-independence and mobile support, giving clinicians access to patient information, and allowing them to perform assessments and place orders (Pathology, Radiology and Medications) on the go. Notifications ensure clinicians always receive important test results and referrals as soon as they are available.

Interoperability for ORBIS is provided through DC4H (Digital Connect 4 Health), Dedalus’s powerful Integration Engine.

amPHI Prehospital care record
amPHI is a prehospital healthcare record which encompasses the entire prehospital care pathway from the scene of the accident until the patient is received and admitted to the hospital. amPHI makes it easy to collect all relevant patient data as soon as possible and communicate the data further up the treatment chain, including the hospital’s admission unit.

All information about the patient’s condition is recorded continuously during the prehospital stage. This includes measurements from the ambulance’s patient monitors which are transferred automatically to amPHI. This ensures an optimum clinical pathway, faster diagnostics and more effective treatment for the patient.

amPHI can be enhanced with a number of different modules, including support of the EMC function (Emergency Medical Coordination) in case of major accidents and disasters.

amPHI is installed in Denmark and Sweden. In Denmark there are over 650 amPHI equipped vehicles including ambulances and rescue helicopters covering a population of 6.9 million people across 5 regions with over 11,000 users.

Swiftqueue
Swiftqueue is an enterprise scheduling and real-time capacity management platform for hospitals and clinics delivering operational excellence, personalised patient engagement and streamlined communications.

Swiftqueue capabilities include; referral management including self-referrals, online bookings, patient flow and real time capacity management.

Swiftqueue aims to:

• Decrease waiting times and high administrative overheads.
• Decrease overcrowding in waiting rooms, improving patient patient satisfaction.
• Optimise use of resources by decreasing no-shows.

Some of the healthcare departments using Swiftqueue globally include, respiratory and oncology day wards, phlebotomy, Allied health (Physiotherapy etc), Radiology, vaccination clinics, Mental Health outpatients and other ambulatory departments.

In the Berkshire and Surrey Pathology services in the NHS in United Kingdom SwiftQueue was implemented for patient bookings for walk in blood tests as well as being utilised previously for booking of COVID-19 vaccinations.

According to Satinder Boparai (General Manager Pathology Support Services), “We looked at 6 patients booking systems. Swiftqueue offered the ease of use and simplicity for our staff and patients”
