Network care in Amsterdam is through data exchange between software suppliers Caresharing in Epic facilitates. The medical data from the EPD of Epic can now be easily shared by the OLVG with the network care platform cBoards from Caresharing. This collaboration platform gives every healthcare professional, but also informal caregivers, access to a patient’s data if the patient has given permission for this. The hospital and primary care organizations, such as home care and general practice, can now collaborate more easily, transfer care and properly monitor patients in a home situation.
Expansion of network care in Amsterdam
Care organizations such as the OLVG, Cordaan and the Amsterdamse Huisartsen Alliantie are working closely with Caresharing and Epic to expand and scale up transmural care within the capital. Jos Rietjens, Product Owner and co-founder of Caresharing: “An optimal exchange and availability of medical data is crucial for the realization of good network care. It is important that only relevant healthcare information is shared. For example, different data is exchanged when collaborating on the administration of medication via an infusion in patients with chronic bowel disease than when monitoring patients with heart failure remotely. ” Ellen Ophoff, Clinical Informatician OLVG: “We are pleased that the link between Epic and cBoards makes it easier to exchange data from a patient. Among other things, we make notes and letters such as the transfer or an implementation request available in cBoards for all concerned healthcare professionals, informal carers and the patient. In this way we work more efficiently together on good healthcare. “
How does it work?
From a patient file in Epic, the healthcare professional in the hospital can immediately create a ‘board’ within cBoards. A board is a multidisciplinary file of a patient. This contains all relevant data for the relevant collaboration. The healthcare professional experiences everything as one system. All chat and video calling communication with patients and between healthcare providers also takes place within this board. Epic strongly supports the use of international integration standards. For logging in and creating patients in cBoards from Epic, OAuth2 according to Smart-on-FHIR was therefore chosen. According to Rietjens of Caresharing, this is a logical choice, because with the international standard for data exchange ‘FHIR’, more and more structured data can be exchanged between all the different systems.
