DUBAI – InterSystems, a global leader in health information technology, announced that the InterSystems TrakCare unified healthcare information system has added a mobile, touchscreen-enabled user interface to optimize the user experience and other enhancements that support better healthcare decision making.

TrakCare’s mobile-enabled user interface supports streamlined electronic medical record (EMR) workflows and delivers context-rich, concise information wherever and whenever it is needed. Clinical notes can be created with a few swipes and taps, images and barcodes captured via camera, and additional information captured via voice.

Using mobile devices at the point of care can support doctors and nurses to make better decisions and allows them to capture and access accurate data more easily and quickly. This promotes EMR adoption, supports patient safety, speeds up clinical workflows, creates a better patient experience, and allows other carers to make better decisions as well.

InterSystems worked in close collaboration with panels of practicing clinicians to redefine EMR best practices and create the mobile-enabled tasks for the new version of TrakCare, including medication prescribing, medication administration, nursing rounds, and laboratory results.

United Family Healthcare, China’s largest foreign-invested healthcare provider, is an early adopter of new TrakCare capabilities. “UFH is using TrakCare’s new mobile capabilities to promote efficiencies at the new Guangzhou United Family Hospital,” said Dr. Jenny Shao, Health Information Systems Director at United Family Healthcare. “Patients are able to do self registration using iPads with the receptionist, and this speeds up the admission process.”

Flexible deployment capabilities further ease the transition to the mobile, touchscreen-enabled user interface. Customers can run the existing TrakCare user interface in parallel with their existing EMR and choose a migration plan best suited to their needs.

The mobile-enabled user interface, like all of TrakCare, is 100% web-based, eliminating the need to install and maintain additional software or apps. Everyone uses the same high-performance system, increasing security and reducing administration overheads and total cost of ownership. TrakCare’s flexible deployment options – on-premise, or as a hosted or managed service – provide additional benefits. — SG
