patient data management to complement your ehr

While your EHR is at the center of your patient data universe, it’s clear that the best-designed, best-managed EHR still can’t deliver a comprehensive view of most patients’ health nor deliver a host of other patient data-related services that you’d benefit mightily from in today’s fast moving and complex healthcare landscape.

Consolidate Old EHRs and Save With Our Legacy Data Archive Services

Our Legacy Data Archive solution allows you to consolidate patient records from multiple EMRs under a single platform while maintaining the structure and integrity of the data housed in the EMR. Additionally, once all legacy records are consolidated on VisualVault, they are more easily accessible and searchable should they need to be referenced. And perhaps of greatest importance, archiving all of your legacy patient records from multiple EMRs will allow you to retire the old EMRs, saving substantial licensing fees and time associated with ongoing maintenance. 

Many of the largest healthcare providers in the US employ VisualVault for this critical data management function

Aggregate and Analyze Data from Every Source With Our Patient Health Analytics

Successfully delivering healthcare in the new “Population Health” paradigm requires the connection of information across your entire network. Patient data lives everywhere and with VisualVault, it can be securely accessed and aggregated across all points of care, including:

  • Hospitals
  • Primary Care Physician
  • Specialty Physicians
  • Home Health
  • Imaging Centers
  • Urgent Care Centers
  • Ambulatory Surgical
  • Centers

The VisualVault Patient Health Analytics offering gives your IT department a set of advanced tools designed to perform predictive analysis on enormous sets of clinical data gathered from multiple EMRs from every corner of your organization. This is the type of data that yields the trends, conclusions and insights that ultimately lead to superior patient care.

Patient Care Summary Services Deliver a Composite View of All Patient Care

EHRs don’t claim to solve every patient data need that the market requires. And there are valuable patient data solutions that they simply can’t deliver.

One of those is a Patient Care Summary that delivers a composite view of all episodes of patient care within your network and across EHRs. VisualVault is capable of auto-compiling a full synopsis of the patient’s health led by a topline overview of the patient’s last appointment.

Downtime Elimination Allows You to Operate Regardless of EHR Outages

VisualVault’s Downtime Procedure Facilitation minimizes the consequences of EHR downtime that is the result of power outages, weather crises, malicious system interference and other catastrophic events. 

A new and significant addition to Disaster Recovery (DR) plans, employing the VisualVault platform as a cornerstone of your proactive system backup initiatives allows you to deliver fully-informed care in the midst of crises. And for your critical associated services such as Pharmacy and Lab orders, they’re also made available during system downtime.

“That’s a Good Question!”

Below are some frequently-asked questions and short answers related to VisualVault patient data management capabilities.

Can patient records from different brand EHRs be effectively merged?

Yes. Given that data from all EHRs is sufficiently structured, the data from one EHR can be merged with the data from an EHR from another manufacturer.

When a hospital group buys another healthcare organization, do they generally integrate the acquired patient records into their existing EHR?

While there is no standard, generally an attempt is not made to merge all patient records into a single EHR. In most cases, the acquired EHR is kept operational in order to maintain access to the current patient records that reside in that EHR.

What role does VisualVault play when one organization having too many EHRs becomes a problem?

Many leading healthcare organizations rely on VisualVault for Legacy Data Archive services. This is a process by which we import all EHR patient data into our secure platform, store it in our platform and make a Patient Care Summary accessible to users of the current EHR with a simple click. This allows the organization to decommission the old EHRs, saving them licensing and maintenance fees.
