EMR Readiness, Assessment & Adoption Tools

Physicians, CIOs, Regional Extension Centers & Their Clients

Business Intelligence Research & Surveys

EHR & CPM Developers, Biomedical Engineers, Equipment Selection Committee Members, Government Regulators, Investment Bankers, Hedge Fund Managers, Market Researchers

Secure, HIPAA-compliant, privacy-protected toolset that makes clinical data integration and storage a cost-effective reality for CIOs, EHR, CPM, HIEs and diagnostic system software developers, medical insurers & disease registries.

There are NO "One-type-fits-all" EHR solution that meets the needs of all 46 major practice specialties. The more specialties a product supports, the more complex the user interface may become, which can adversely impact workflow efficiency in some cases.

MSP makes EMR planning and adoption as simple as 1-2-3 without regional extension center contracts, pressures, limitations of choice and restrictions:

• Ready?: Complete a Practice and Staff Readiness Assessment and find out.

• Set:  Done background research? If not, read Successfully Choosing Your EMR: 15 Crucial Decisions now. This highly endorsed book provides pragmatic coverage of EMRs, their selection, site preparation and deployment. Click to order

• Choose: There are over 600 EHRs listed on our EHR Selector website. Over 100 of these are ONC-Certified products. Use the EHR Selector (www.ehrselector.com) to compare EHRs and choose the right one for your care setting. It's free to physician group practices. It's also a useful tool for EHR consultants! There is no good reason to restrict your choices to 5-10 EHR products because of concerns about interfacing with hospital legacy systems. The MSP EHR Linker™ makes connectivity to hospital legacy systems that support ODBC straight-forward and inexpensive. Contact MSP for details.

Let us help you take your practice from paper charts to electronic medical records. This video explains the tools and the process to make that conversion successful.

Triad Data Linker™ Products

MSP develops advanced, cost-effective solutions for healthcare data transformation, integration, aggregation and longitudinal data mining and outcomes and predictive business analysis.

We provide data fusion, anomaly recognition, fraud detection, and enhanced biomedical sensor signal processing. More Info available at www.medinception.com.

If you're serious about aggregating, integrating and fusing clinical information and images, and have already discovered that traditional approaches like interface engines are not up-scalable, and want to adopt a solution that works and is up-scalable, here's what we offer:

• Legacy Data Aggregation - Our Clinical Context Data Dictionary (C2D2™) and Triad™ representation correctly maps clinical notes, billing codes (ICD-9/10, CPT, DRG, HPCPS), images, and standardized medical ontologies into a single, common data representation.
• Enhanced Security - Triad™ representation is fully HIPAA-compliant.
• Enhanced Privacy - Data representation is deidentified by storing personal identifiers and clinical data in separate data stores with different encryption keys.
• Role-based User Access - Data may be aggregated at nursing unit, hospital, IDN, ACO, and HIE levels based on role, identity verification and eConsent authorization.
• Supports longitudinal studies while maintaining complete privacy.
• Integrated, patented eConsent limits data access consistent with consents given.
• Enhanced Identity - Integrated master patient index (MPI) at aggregation levels properly tracks identifies MPI design used to track daily Rx fulfillment for 250 million Americans.
• Item-level Audit Trail- All data accesses are time-stamped & indicate user ID, data items accessed a eConsent authorization.
• Alarm and Event Forwarding - Anomaly and out-of-normal-range conditions can generate alerts, alarms or launch programs in real-time as specified by the user.
• Sparse Data Representation reduces large dataset archival costs. Losslessly-reversible (bijunctive) reduction in total storage volume of 1000:1 for text or 10:1 for images significantly reduces clinical information archiving volume & costs.
• EHR, CPM, Billing, Imaging & Meta-data Integration - A solution that aggregates and integrates data from all common clinical data sources.
• Clinical Context Parsing - Uses a Clinical Context Data Dictionary (C2D2) to subdivide complex and ambiguous medical terms and tests into their unambiguous "atomic" components, then properly transform and store them in a single representation.
• Real-time Data Mirroring & Restore - Linkers encode clinical data in real-time, and store it. Emergency data restore is supported if client's local data is lost or corrupted.
• Multi-Site, Military-Grade, Long-term Storage - Want to reduce your data archive storage costs by 80% guaranteed? Call us to learn about our mirrored to separate sites all within the U.S. that provide safe, secure and truly cost-effective storage that is accessible 24-hours/day, 7-days/week.
• Quicker Queries - Complex queries based on multiple joins across legacy data tables and databases are slow. The same queries across our data representation are much faster, particularly as data store size grows, making longitudinal outcome studies practical for the first time on population-level data stores.

If you have separate, large corporate databases that you need to merge, integrate, fuse and longitudinally query, MSP can perform these services for you no matter how large your individual databases are. Our proprietary Triad Data Linker™ (HIPAA-compliant) approach leaves ALL your data intact on your system, but makes an integrated image of them all on our Secure Cloud Data Store, which your authorized staff can then access and run standard queries against. Price is function of datasize and integration required. Very few other suppliers can perform this service! MSP can also perpetually store your data for a cost of $98K per petabyte per year!
