Paul Casterton, CIO at Abdali Medical Centre <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Paul Casterton, Chief Information Officer at Abdali Medical Center, said: \u201cWe are proud to be taking the necessary steps to become the first paperless hospital in Jordan in collaboration with our collaborators SAP, Cerner and Elsevier. Our implementation of SAP and Cerner\u2019s integrated suite of ERP and EHR applications in conjunction with Elsevier\u2019s Care Planning solution provides Abdali Medical Center with the ability to truly automate our end-to-end clinical and business processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe\nimplementation of these industry leading solutions by Intrasoft and Soltius\nwill enable us to deliver seamless patient journeys, drive efficiency and\nprovide high quality affordable care. In addition, the wealth of data collected\nwill be used to report and improve patient outcomes and\nultimately to manage and optimise clinical and business performance across the\nentire organisation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bachir Awad, Vice President\nand Managing Director at Cerner Middle East and Africa,said: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to work collaboratively\nwith our first client in Jordan. Abdali Medical Center is also the first\ni.s.h.med client in the world to implement Cerner\u2019s Bedside Medical Device\nIntegration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, Abdali Medical\nCenter will be a pioneer in the region by being the first i.s.h.med client to\nimplement Cerner\u2019s CareAware\nVitalsLink and Cerner Multum\nsolutions, which integrate\ndecision support at the point of ordering medication and alerts the care team\nof any drug to drug or drug to allergy interactions. This helps to eliminate\nmistakes and time spent on manual entry or transcribing of readings from\nbedside devices and vital machines, as well as providing the care team more\ntime to manage the health and care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mohammad Abu Saif, Senior\nDirector Delivery and INTRASOFT Project Manager, <\/strong>said:\n\u201cINTRASOFT is proud to have undertaken this 12-month journey with a\ntalented, dedicated and resilient joint team of consultants, developers,\ndoctors, nurses and medical professionals from over 12 countries to achieve the\nfastest successful implementation in the region of such comprehensive and\nintricate state of the art EHR and ERP solutions.

Intelligent CIO<\/em> asked Paul Casterton, Chief\nInformation Officer at Abdali Medical Center, further questions about the\nimplementation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you explain the main benefits of\nCerner\u2019s clinical information system i.s.h.med?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination with SAP\u2019s ISH and Cerner\u2019s\ni.s.h.med applications provide a comprehensive Electronic Medical Record (EMR)\nand a platform that automates the complete care process from first contact with\nthe patient all the way through to final discharge and billing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution provides functionality to\nautomate all aspects of clinical care with integrated clinical decision support\nthat provides our physicians with real time alerts to enhance the care that\nthey provide. The result is that the right data gets to the right person at the\nright time which is critical to high quality care provision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you explain how activating Cerner\u2019s\nelectronic health record (EHR) platform is supporting the safety and\nconfidentiality of patients\u2019 information?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As custodians of patients electronic data\nwe have a duty to make sure that only those individuals that are authorised to\nhave access, in the context of direct care delivery, have access. Using the\nSAP\/i.s.h.med platform we are able to enforce a strict, robust and best-practice\nsecurity model, including comprehensive audit trails, that far surpasses what\nwould otherwise be possible without our EMR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you explain how the solutions have\nautomated the hospital\u2019s end-to-end clinical and business processes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EMR is at the centre of our health care\narchitecture and is interfaced to our other specialist solution (e.g. picture archiving\nand communication system, laboratory information system, etc.,) using SAP\u2019s\nintegration middleware to ensure that our care providers always have the data\nthat they require. In almost all cases our interfaces follow national\nelectronic data interchange standards e.g. HL7, DICOM, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How will data be used to report and\nimprove patient outcomes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a by-product of automating the care\nprocess we will have access to data which will be analysed to monitor and\ntransform the way that we deliver care and to underpin our commitment to\ndeliver world-class cost-effective care. We will be extensively leveraging\nreal-time activity data to inform our executives and clinicians and to make\nsure that the patient experience is proactively monitored and optimised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, we will be monitoring patient\noutcomes and will have the ability to objectively analyse what went well and\nwhat did not, which will be invaluable in establishing best practice value base\ncare for all of our patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you explain the benefits of Cerner\u2019s\nCareAware VitalsLink and Cerner Multum solutions?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cerner\u2019s CareAware Vitalslink solution is\nproviding us with the ability to efficiently and safely integrate the ever-increasing\namount of electronic data fed from our extensive range of medical devices, in\nto the EMR. The result will be less time spent by care providers manually\ndocumenting in to the EMR and ultimately more accurate, timely and complete\ndocumentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, we have implemented the Cerner\nMultum clinical support solution which checks, in real-time, medication orders\nbeing placed by the physicians and warns of potential conflicts such as\nallergic reactions, drug to drug interactions, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
