Earlier this week, Zen Healthcare IT’s newest innovation involving healthcare data messaging tags and archiving was published by MedCityNews – a new module in the Gemini Integration as a Service (IaaS) platform called “Capsule”.
The key to answering time sensitive questions about patient populations is to look broadly across a healthcare community with a flexible data inspection tool. That’s where Zen’s Capsule solution comes to the rescue.~ Marilee Benson, President of Zen Healthcare IT.
Four Critical Topics:
The articles includes a full diagram of the Gemini IaaS platform and addresses four critical topics.
1. Nimbleness is often a gap in healthcare data strategies. Many of our clients are asking important questions right now related to the COVID-19 outbreak as part of their disease surveillance efforts. “When did we see an uptick in non-influenza related fever, upper respiratory symptoms and pneumonia?”
2. Capsule helps us prepare for the future. Informatics and medical leaders use data tags to query and compile all messages — new and old — that contain critical clinical data elements. All applicable messages with the tags are instantly surfaced in a “data capsule” that can then be leveraged by existing analytics platforms – arming decision makers with insights they would normally be unable to gather.
3. Capsule data model can help us manage future events like we are experiencing today. How does Capsule help prepare for the future? Let’s take the current COVID-19 situation as an example. With Capsule, Zen clients would have the ability to look back to November 2019, when we know the virus first appeared in China. How many patients presented with such symptoms in November, December, or January with what appeared to be simple flu or cold symptoms? Would your current message archives (if they exist) be able to look back across the messages to find embedded clinical data matching the symptom complex tied to COVID-19? Capsule will make it possible and relatively simple for healthcare organizations to gain access to these types of insights.
4. Steps organizations can take today to leverage Capsule. It is the perfect time for healthcare organizations to take advantage of Capsule for smart message archiving needs. We’ll work with you to identify your data types and current needs for data tagging. Together, we’ll implement Capsule on all your messages by directing your data feeds through your Gemini Integration as a Service platform. And new data tags can be added as your needs evolve over time. Click the scheduling button below to get started!
