In the opening address of the eHealthCare.ch 02 congress, Chuck Saunders, President
Global Industry Group EDS Healthcare, addresses some of the most important issues
facing healthcare delivery systems.
- Productivity of clinical staff
- Reduction in medical errors
- Accurate and complete reimbursement for services
eHealthCare.ch 02 gives an overview of the present "State of the Art" providing insights
into approaching solutions and an outlook for future trends.
medXchange will demonstrate how the Health and Medical
Information services are used by physicians in consulting their patients as well as demonstrate
state of the art healthcare applications and interfaces. The first electronic Optic Card and
Dental Card, which are currently being commercialized in Switzerland, will be shown on-line
and distributed on CD-ROM. Interfaces to secure SmartCard access keys, online bio-sensors and
medical practice management systems will be demonstrated in a medical practice environment.
The
medXchange Optic Card "electronic optical
passport" contains a complete medical eyesight documentation as well as relevant medical information
of the individual. This information is provided by both the ophthalmologist and the optician and
ensures wearers of eye glasses and contact lenses a complete record of their eye care that is
always available.
The
medXchange Dental Card "electronic passport
for dental care" has complete documentation including photographs, scans and X-rays of your dental
care. It also has dental imprint, implant and dental material information. The dentist and dental
technician can be much more efficient and can provide a higher quality dental care with the
combination of the Dental Card and access to implant and treatment information adapted to the
needs of the patient.
The
Herz Handy® (Heart Mobile Phone from Vitaphone- a bio-sensor- by PD Dr.S.Sack )
transmit cardiology data directly into their Service Center and into the
medXchange Integrated Electronic Medical Record (IEMR).
This gives medical experts at call centers immediate world wide access on a 24 hour basis to
complete and up-to-the-minute medical data of patients with heart disease.
Mr. Matthias Quinger states that the combination of the Vitaphone Herz Handy® and the
medXchange Health and Medical Information Management
services provide a unique and innovative approach to providing high quality care to heart disease
patients.
The
medXchange interface to the
Vitodata medical
practice system will be demostrated showing how patient documents and information from the
physicians system can be transferred to the Integrated Electronic Medical Record with a "mouse
click". Vitodata is the largest provider of medical informatics software and medical practice
systems in Switzerland.
E-prica demonstrates how the Health SmartCard can be used as "electronic key" by both
patients and healthcare professionals to access the
medXchange
health and medical information management service and the Integrated Electronic Medical Record
(IEMR) of the individual. Total security and confidentiality of the individual's health and medical
documentation is provided ensuring that only authorized healthcare professionals may access the
data with consent of the individual.
Dr. med. dent. Robert Kalla will demonstrate the
medXchange
Dental Card “electronic passport for dental care” that has complete
documentation including photographs, scans and X-rays of your dental care. Dr. Kalla will also
demonstrate the
medXchange Dental Register, which
contains complete information on dental implants and tracks the dental implants in each patient.
The dentist and dental technician can be much more efficient and can provide a higher quality dental
care with the combination of the Dental Card and access to implant and treatment information
adapted to the needs of the patient.
