The world’s #1 HIE provider

With 55+ HIEs and customers in over 15 countries globally

Australian health and care professionals are often time poor and subject to cognitive overload. Gathering the right patient information in time to make the right treatment decision can be a challenge, especially when it involves access into multiple health systems, various clinical documents, phone calls and faxes. This is where a Health Information Exchange (HIE) comes in.

What is an HIE and why do you need it?

In today’s health system arena, health professionals are faced with a constant influx of data. Whether it is the latest medical information, recent outbreaks, new treatments, vaccine development and the need for increasing levels of patient tracking and documentation. Healthcare professionals are overwhelmed with not only volumes, but different types of data.

An HIE can make health data smart and meaningful, so it unburdens clinicians of time-consuming tasks and gives them more time with the patient.

An HIE is a platform that integrates an Australian’s health and care data from disparate systems across a geography into a single view. By pulling data from both traditional and non-traditional sources, clinicians and caregivers have a comprehensive view of their patient to make the best possible decisions at the point of care. An HIE is critical to enabling a more connected, safe and integrated care across the Australian public health network.

A full HIE solution - a platform for advanced population health

Orion Health’s population health management solution, Amadeus is the world’s #1 health information platform.

Amadeus supports FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) APIs to aggregate all types of health data from across multiple systems, devices and organisations to improve the delivery of healthcare. By combining all relevant information about an individual, and applying our intelligent tools such as machine learning and AI, it gives you the power to predict outcomes more accurately than ever before. Healthcare professionals can utilise these predictions to deliver more personalised care tailored perfectly to every individual.

This fully integrated system securely enables safe transitions in care to support Australians in their journey across health settings and providers. This scalable platform reduces duplication, saves valuable clinician time and improves patient safety through faster, more accurate and efficient sharing of clinical information.

Healthcare providers can achieve greater clinical efficiency, safer transitions of care, improved patient experience and deliver better health outcomes.

Benefits of an HIE

A single solution for population health management

From the collection of data, to comprehensive analytics and measurement tools, care management and patient engagement – Orion Health’s Healthier Populations will provide you with one single solution to future proof you for all your population health management needs.
Improve patient outcomes

With a comprehensive view of the full patient record, caregivers can make the best possible decisions at the point of care. This can mean reduced duplicate tests, safer transitions of care and fewer emergency admissions.
Improved clinical and patient safety

Using FHIR APIs, Amadeus is able to pull information from both traditional and non-traditional sources. With data from almost any health, social care or other system in one record, clinicians, pharmacists, GPs and anesthetists will have access to all of the patient’s medication history and allergies. Having this level of information reduces the risk of clinical and medication errors.
Integrate clinical systems

Data is able to flow between different systems and organisations through a highly scalable platform built on modern technology and the latest FHIR standards for interoperability. Connect systems across the healthcare landscape without open APIs.
Improve patient experience

Not only is the process of data integration greatly simplified, but the resulting patient records are presented through an intuitive user interface – carefully designed to make it easy for clinicians to navigate and make sense of large volumes of information. Our intelligent capabilities allow predictive outcomes, so the caregiver spends less time reviewing patient data and can spend more time listening to the patient.
Transition to proactive and preventative care

Amadeus enables you to analyse vast data sets to identify at-risk patients and those in need of proactive intervention. For instance, an at-risk diabetes patient identified early can modify lifestyle so that they are no longer at a risk of getting diabetes.
Manage chronic conditions

Clinicians can manage patient chronic conditions with clinical workflows and take the actions necessary to achieve optimal patient outcomes. This includes enrollment in specific care plans and highly configurable care pathways; and coordinate care with a multidisciplinary team across varied care settings.
Encouraging patient engagement

Patient engagement is a critical step in population health management. Orion Health’s portal and mobile applications are designed to encourage patient participation and assist them to be actively involved in their own health.
