E-health raises issues of data management, privacy: panel

TORONTO—Currently, in Canada, 80 per cent of medical images exist in digital form as the health care industry continues to move toward widely implementing electronic medical records. But out of this, arises the challenge of managing this huge amount of digital data from all sources, said a  Dell Inc. executive during a panel discussion on innovation in health care. Jamie Coffin, vice-president and general manager of health care and life sciences with the Round Rock, Tx.-based vendor, pointed out that, by the year 2015, 35 per cent of all health care information in Canada will be digitized. Besides medical images, that will also include data such as lab results and measurements taken from smart medical devices. Earlier during the panel discussion, Mamdani explained the cloud journey that Ontario Shores took to get entirely digital. After an 18-month project, which spanned concept to full adoption, Ontario Shores has outsourced its data centre operations in a Mississauga-based facility to ensure management and security. The next step, said Mamdani is to look at a disaster recovery plan that entails a “mirror site” in Montreal. Both facilities are managed by Dell.

Sogeti Develops New Solutions to Help Healthcare Providers Migrate ...

Sogeti, a leading international provider of professional IT services, announced today that it has released new solutions designed to help healthcare providers migrate to the latest electronic medical records (EMR) systems.

EMR systems store patient information such as medical history and demographic information and also allow providers to complete tasks such as transmitting prescriptions and checking insurance information electronically. Healthcare providers that have achieved meaningful use of these systems this year will be eligible for incentive payments from the federal government.

Many healthcare providers have been using legacy EMR systems for some time; however, in order to address the meaningful use requirements and operational requirements, they will need to upgrade to a newer system which can be a difficult and time consuming process to manage.

explains Andrew Tessier, Vice President of Healthcare Solutions for Sogeti USA. “ With the sensitive potential impact to the organization, it is extremely important for healthcare providers to work with an expert who can ensure a smooth conversion. Sogeti’s new solutions provide end-to-end service so that healthcare providers can focus on their priorities.”

Sogeti’s new EMR solutions provide healthcare organizations with technical and programming support to replace or augment their existing systems.
