Setting the pace for healthcare
The field of healthcare is most definitely not standing still. It is changing at a rapid pace, increasingly driven by new technology as well as by new models for delivering care and by the changing methods and sources of funding.
Health funding and the way healthcare is delivered may differ in each country around the world, but the goals tend to remain the same.
According to the World Health Organisation, these targets are to keep all people healthy, with a system that is adequately funded to provide essential services in a manner that people desire, efficiently.
Since 1978, InterSystems has been delivering mission-critical software to help organizations keep populations as healthy as possible. As a result businesses like Epic, Roche Diagnostics and GE Healthcare have been able to create some of the world's most critical healthcare applications using technology masterminded by InterSystems.
The InterSystems aim is always to create sustainable, high-value health care systems where demand and desired outcomes are balanced with the ability to pay for care.
In this objective,
4W Technologies, established in 1996, has been supporting InterSystems and its partners and customers by focusing, almost without a waiver, on
InterSystems’ and
related technologies.
4W is based in the US but operates globally. Its specialism is in providing solutions to problems with the latest InterSystems Cache and
M (MUMPS) technologies. As Andy Polack, the founder puts it: “4W helps prepare for future innovations by using proven methodologies that will grow with your application or business.”
Today, the world's governments, along with leading healthcare delivery organizations in more than 80 countries use InterSystems products, including Cache®, HealthShare®, Ensemble®, as well as TrakCare®, to enhance clinical efficiency and outcomes.
As a result, the health records of around 500 million people throughout the world now rely on InterSystems technology. Indeed, the United States' two most popular electronic health record systems are based on InterSystems technology.
Revolutionising healthcare information
In the past 21 years, 4W has proved its expertise in delivering solutions using InterSystems and related technologies including MUMPS, Cache, HealthShare, Ensemble, and DeepSee. The business offers staff augmentation, on and off-site training, project management and custom software development, as well as legacy system redesign, and application support with strict Service Level Agreement requirements.
4W engineers are so well versed in the latest InterSystems technologies that InterSystems have certified them as Cache Certified Experts. This certification recognizes that 4W has received appropriate training and reached the extremely high levels of competency in the various technologies. The company is capable of redesigning or re-engineering existing systems using an Object Oriented (OO) approach that is both highly sophisticated and flexible. Alternatively, the Engineers can we be enable applications with Cache Server Pages (CSPs).
The InterSystems vision for transforming healthcare is a simple one. It involves empowering care providers and connecting care communities with comprehensive, transparent and easy-to-use health information.
InterSystems healthcare solutions manage complete patient information which links providers and patients as well as payers to provide seamless, coordinated care.
4W supports these efforts by providing real-world solutions utilizing the latest InterSystems technologies. This provision helps clients to prepare for future technological innovations using proven methodologies that grow with their application or business.
The InterSystems products not only combine complete information and intuitive workflow but also have embedded analytics that empowers individual care providers with up-to-date, accurate information along with the tools and services they require to efficiently manage their workloads, enhance workflows while making the most appropriate care and business decisions.
In this kind of circumstance, patients can become more engaged in their care, with comprehensive access to their health information, including prescription refills, appointments, along with better communication with their clinicians.
4W’s founder points out that when you work with the InterSystems Cache product, you are dealing with a high-performance database which runs SQL at five times the speed of other similar databases.
Cache enables not only rapid development of web applications but also exceptional transaction processing speeds combined with massive scalability. Also, real-time queries can be made against transactional data – with minimal hardware requirements and maintenance.
Knowledge-driven care
InterSystems products help the development of evidence-based, knowledge-driven care that can be provided across organizational and disciplinary boundaries to connect care communities better.
They also enable organizations to be responsive allowing healthcare professionals to work effectively both as individuals and as part of coordinated teams, supported by reliable and robust software that keeps everyone synchronized while being able to adapt to ongoing change.
Transformative products are only possible with powerful technology. It is why InterSystems decided to leverage its expertise creating the world's most widely used healthcare data management software to develop a revolutionary health informatics platform.
This platform brings together highly reliable, high-performance, and massively scalable data management, with the capabilities of analytics and rapid application development.
It streamlines the development of connected modern healthcare solutions by extracting the required information from the often unstructured text to deliver it precisely at the time it's needed. It can also provide predictive, population-level analytics by leveraging big data.
All InterSystems's healthcare products are built on this Health Informatics Platform. Based on this firm foundation, it's possible for organisations to move to more sustainable, higher value healthcare with products like
The TrakCare unified healthcare information system, which is not available in the US, for example, helps enhance processes of care by leveraging both local and international best practice from the long experience InterSystems has of serving the world's clinician community.
The HealthShare family of connected health products offers care coordination, analytics and interoperability. When organizations use HealthShare to eliminate information barriers they make transformation and innovation possible.
What HealthShare does is create a virtual, community-wide record of patients as the basis for e-health applications that are coordinated.
HealthShare products are based on information-sharing between and within organizations, which makes the path to more sustainable, higher-value health care easier to follow.
Those organizations that are using HealthShare are taking steps to improve the communication and accuracy of health records. By doing so they are not just enhancing safety and reducing duplicative services, but they are also and using that organization's data in their analytics and in so doing identifying opportunities for optimizing their care processes and outcomes.
