Solutions for

Government & Public Health

Preserving and leveraging provincial digital health investments

With the increasing demands of managing complex patients, government ministries, agencies, and public health institutions need to find cost-effective ways to leverage existing assets in order to deliver improved healthcare while reducing costs.

With 7 out of 13 Canadian provinces and territories already using Orion Health solutions to facilitate data exchange between hospitals, health systems and EHRs, the full value of these investments will only be realised by extending EHR solutions into new models of care delivery.

Our care coordination solutions identify, assess, understand, and manage patients with long-term conditions. Combined with secure, resilient security and privacy protocols, government organizations can share health information across networks and regions to manage entire populations.

Orion Health solutions provide the infrastructure required to breakdown the boundaries and future-proof providers for emerging models of care, including multi-modal and precision medicine.

Benefits for Government & Public Health

Acquire

The foundation of our solution suite, Rhapsody Integration Engine, aggregates critical patient information into one trusted view. Rhapsody provides data acquisition and exchange with a huge array of clinical systems using multiple formats and standards, while maintaining security and protecting patient privacy.
Aggregate for actionable insights

Data must be aggregated so it is associated with the appropriate healthcare organization, facility and patient. We’ve built a scalable platform on open architecture that collects and integrates data into data spaces, and then normalizes and assigns it to the correct patient. With our Clinical Data Repository serving as the fundamental source of truth, analytics and actionable insights are easily attained.
Reduce duplication

Scarce resources require careful allocation to gain maximum return. Our technology provides government organizations with the tools they need to monitor wait times, improve distribution of specialist referrals, and increase access to services from rural areas.
Collaboration drives personalized care

When healthcare and community care organizations are able to collaborate, patient care improves considerably. Driving increased collaboration is the foundation for our coordinated care solutions, personalized for each patient. Any range of information such as treatment protocols, diagnoses, and episodes of care can be kept current, ensuring the entire care team, where authorised, has access to a patient’s most relevant and up-to-date information.
Real-time communications

Near real-time information is critical to effecting quality patient care. Our technology enables customized notifications about patient care events, including admissions, discharges, new lab results and medication changes, so that providers are always aware of clinical decisions made for patients at other healthcare facilities. Secure messaging solutions facilitate communication across healthcare regions, while maintaining and upholding patient privacy.
Future-proof IT

Improving healthcare requires anticipating what's ahead. Security, speed, and meeting a positive user experience patients expect are becoming high priorities and present opportunities for healthcare ministries. Our open platform can scale and adapt to the wave of new big data generated by patient populations, genomics and other health innovations, capturing all forms of healthcare related information, regardless of source.

The Orion Health team was extremely effective at resolving any technical challenges we had implementing the HEALTHeNL Viewer without impacting the ongoing, everyday Pharmacy Network operation.

We’ve been dealing with the same Orion Health team here onsite in Newfoundland and Labrador since 2010, all of whom have been fantastic to work with. It’s a small, agile team that has been extremely effective at understanding our environment, both clinically and technically, and fine-tuning their EHR solution to meet our jurisdictional needs.
