Eliminate Clinical, Operational & Financial Risk – Retire Your Inherited Or Legacy Systems

Healthcare organizations are littered with outdated, redundant, and duplicate systems. These range from inherited systems (often following a merger or acquisition); applications that have been replaced but that remain in production alongside the newer solution; as well as old, legacy systems that may have been developed in-house or custom-built. Due to the complex nature of healthcare, the types of system vary from electronic healthcare record (EHR) and patient administration systems (PAS), clinical applications (such as PACS, LIMS, RIS), document management systems (EDMS) through to HR and finance/accounting solutions.

The biggest obstacle with inherited or legacy applications is risk:

Financial Risk

Running and maintaining duplicate or legacy systems is inefficient, costly and resource intensive.

Operational Risk

Over time, legacy systems become vulnerable and are often the victim of cyber-attacks that can have a devastating impact on healthcare operations.

Clinical Risk

The data contained within these systems may be useful but, because it is siloed, is not easily accessible by clinicians when treating or diagnosing patients.

[Duration: 03:36 mins] Legacy applications steal your time, money and carry significant risk to your organization. With BridgeHead’s HealthStore, you can retire your legacy or duplicate systems, such as the Electronic Health Record (EHR), ambulatory solutions or departmental applications; whilst still retaining and extracting value from the patient, clinical or administrative data these systems hold. 

 

“As we continue to expand and potentially acquire other practices, we don’t have to be concerned with how we handle inherited systems and their data. HealthStore is now in place to ingest any patient or administrative information we need that will best serve our physicians and patients: from consultation to diagnosis and treatment; inpatient or outpatient services.”

Martha Sullivan
Chief Information Officer, Harrison Memorial Hospital

“This project required a strategic, future-proof solution, not one simply for the immediate application retirement work at hand, but one that could be extended for use elsewhere across the Trust. We needed to protect our data and eliminate the threat of cyberattacks; reduce the costs associated with our legacy applications, all while providing our users with continued access to the information they need, when they need it. There were very few providers that offered a comprehensive data management platform that could cater for our current and ongoing requirements. So, choosing BridgeHead’s HealthStore® was a relatively easy decision.”
