Clicks® -
Medical Information System
Patient
charting (electronic
patient record) is the basic building block of a
Clicks®
system solution, where the entire medical activity is
documented on site, online during the patient-physician
session, where and when the medical information is created.
Clicks®
working environment proves beneficial to
doctors,
to the organization and to the
patients.
Clicks®
based
solutions serve as the sole tool for documenting medical
information under a range of circumstances and work
environments
Across all the organization’s primary care clinics.
The
entire documentation process
of all patient visits, by all doctors and nurses is done
within the computerized medical file in a virtually
paperless work environment. Member rights are verified
online by magnetic media or via communication, and detailed
documentation of the medical encounter is done in
specifically designed data sheets using a smart data entry
technique that requires very little typing or no typing at
all.
Built
in, sophisticated lab order, referrals and drugs modules
enable automatic production of prescriptions and relevant forms, while
at the same time providing detailed tracking of any such
operation. Key information, whether medical or
administrative, is transmitted to the healthcare provider’s
central system.
Further capabilities of the Drugs module enable enforcing
selecting from the organization’s own internal drugs file
and enables close follow-up of all prescribed drugs. Among
these capabilities, the drugs module will collect and display a list of
all the drugs in use by the patient, provide
drug-interaction information and suggest preferred
alternatives according to underlying medical and
administrative guidelines. |

Results of laboratory test orders, consultants’ replies,
imaging and X-ray results
are received via
communication and are automatically distributed to the
respective patient files upon doctor’s approval. Depending
on centrally located support systems, X-rays and other
imaging can be virtually observed by the attending physician
directly from within the patient file. |

Online graphing, built in charts, imported pictures, X-rays, EKG diagrams
and
Imaging files can be fully integrated into the patient file.
Scanned documents
can be integrated into the patient file as can be graphing
and charts. A specifically designed Preventive Medicine
module enables formulating rules for relevant target patient
populations or for desired procedures.
The
central patient file
is managed through dedicated view ports for the various
medical fields in use. Doctors access the patient file
through their designated view port, which allow them to work
within a patient file specifically designed to suit the
needs of their specialty. Personal access rights, view and update
authorizations further route their activity within the
system.
Both
centrally located and distributed systems
of this approach currently exist, based on the preference
and infrastructure of the host organization.
Doctors
work at their own workstation, conducting their entire activity online with
access to other patient-related information that may reside on the central
computer system.
In clinic, local or
stand alone systems, various functions are performed via
bi-directional communication between a central system and
the physician’s personal workstation, as different types of
information are transmitted to and from that workstation. In
centrally located systems based on the concept of a unified
patient file (terminal server solution or alike), the
end-user’s entire work is conducted within a patient’s medical file
in relation to the central computer.
These are some examples
of communication processes between
Clicks®
and the central computer:
-
Verification of member rights
-
Laboratory tests (orders and results)
-
X-Ray, imaging
and specialist replies
-
Key
administrative information (logon-logoff times, date and
number of
visits, etc.)
-
Key medical
information (diagnoses, prescriptions, lab orders,
referrals, etc.)
