safety
AMSTERDAM, AND BERLIN,
April 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in
health technology, today announced it is expanding Tasy, its
award-winning next generation EMR solution, into the European
market. The introduction is being marked with an agreement signed
with KrankenHaus Düren. Together with this German public hospital,
Philips will co-design and enterprise wide pilot Tasy. It will give
the 450 bed institution that treats 70,000 patients per year an
innovative EMR solution to meet the requirements and needs of the
current and future local hospital market.
Philips already has a highly successful, leading position in the
Latin American EMR market with about a thousand installations at
healthcare providers in Brazil and
Mexico. Tasy, a Best in KLAS award
winner , has helped eight hospitals in Brazil receive EMR Adoption Model Stage 6
certification from HIMSS Analytics, meaning the hospitals are
near-paperless and are driving integration, security and analytics
to optimize patient care.
Traditional EMRs typically contain standard medical and clinical
data about a patient. They were originally designed to use this
information for administrative tasks such as billing. Philips Tasy
takes a different approach and is developed to streamline workflows
and optimize patient care. It offers a single integrated platform
and database to enable centralized management of all medical,
organizational and administrative processes. These range from
patient care to inventory and supply management, revenue cycle
management and financial reporting. Other processes Tasy covers are
bed management and the scheduling of rooms and the right staff for
appointments and medical procedures. It also adds to patient safety
by featuring scientifically established protocols and advanced
algorithms for rapid detection of sepsis and infections.
"We are excited to enter the European market with an innovative
EMR solution that takes a more seamless approach to managing care
and solves many of the challenges of traditional solutions," said
Yair Briman, Business Leader of Healthcare Informatics at
Philips. "The single platform allows for standardization of
processes across the hospital with anytime, anywhere access to big
data analytics. This will enable advanced realtime risk assessment
and decision making, helping to continuously improve safety and
patient outcomes."
"In Germany, there is a clear need for a new generation of
hospital information management solutions that actively involves
patients and supports clinical and administrative decision-making,"
said Dr. Gereon Blum, CEO of
Krankenhaus Düren. "In order to streamline both clinical and
non-clinical tasks we need to give everyone access to the same
consistent data in real time. A patient-centric solution like Tasy
aims to capture data, to aggregate and share relevant patient
information, allowing better collaboration and faster coordination
among medical professionals, for better and safer patient care
within all the medical disciplines."
There is a need for innovative EMR solutions that help hospitals
become fully digitized, overcome administrative hurdles and
streamline workflows across departments. Hospitals and care
networks are dealing with a number of pressing business challenges
such as changing population demographics, a growing demand for
access to quality care and strained budgets. Advanced
interoperability in health information exchange is critical for
hospitals dealing with massive amounts of data coming from multiple
disparate systems. In order to meet the demand for care while
containing healthcare costs, doctors and nursing staff are
challenged to work more efficiently and collaboratively across
medical disciplines. Physicians often find that traditional EMR and
EHRs add significant hours to their work day and interrupt the
doctor-patient relationship.
In Germany, Tasy will be
implemented as both a web and cloud-based system. It is based on
HTML5 and is fully mobile. For more information on Tasy and
