Facilitating Virtual Healthcare Communities
All healthcare providers are in constant need of clinical information from other providers in order to provide better, coordinated patient care. Cogon Systems, Inc. developed the MOMENT OF CARE® Information System so that providers can securely access disparate digital records, which may reside within their own institution, within their referral network, or even information from a facility outside their typical sphere of influence – a nearby clinic, a Department of Defense Hospital, a Veterans Administration facility, or another specialist across town. Until now, the problem with this need for data is that most of the information was inaccessible within disparate systems. Cogon Systems liberates this information, providing multiple ways for providers to have this information readily available to them.
By integrating disparate clinical systems and leveraging Web 2.0 and cutting-edge secure Internet tools/protocols and mobile technology, Cogon Systems fosters wide-scale user adoption, and thereby facilitates the formation of Virtual Healthcare Communities through its Community MOMENT OF CARE® solution. These Communities can be self-contained within a singular organization or health system but can also scale to multiple providers and organizations across an entire metropolitan market. Within these constituted Virtual Healthcare Communities, Cogon Systems supports business rules and logic, which provdes each provider organization with the ability to determine how free their information is, and share only what they wish with the facilities and providers that make sense. It also allows each organization’s authorized providers to have access to these records, allowing them to access consolidated relevant medical clinical records information from outside their facility – all with the goal of providing better patient care. Cogon Systems provides a solution that will find, compile, and present this data to caregivers in a manner that will allow them to make the best decisions possible at the moment of care.
