Hayes Helps Develop "Clinic of the Future"
Hayes is currently extending its expertise beyond physician groups and hospitals
to a Fortune 100 company located on the west coast. Known for its innovation, the company
asked Hayes to help them with the development of a unique and futuristic employee health
clinic. The client's vision is to develop an innovative, consumer-centric health center
for employees, their dependents and significant others. The employee clinic will be a
paperless environment where results from scales, blood pressure monitors, treadmills,
EKG devices, and more will populate the electronic medical record – which will automatically
be shown on a 50" plasma monitor. This will enable patient and physician to view the
medical record together, access reference materials, view x-rays, get medical information
such as educational videos, consult with a physician in another location, or check on the
patient's children being entertained by video games in the next room.
The IT story lives in the integration of multiple services and associated applications
within the clinic. The health center is expected to house the health clinic, laboratory,
radiology, pharmacy, physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, employee assistance program,
disease management program and dental departments. The health center will also utilize the
new fitness center services. Data will be shared across the 12+ vendors using an integration
engine. Single sign on will be implemented to provide providers with secure and quick
access to the many systems. A portable Personal Health Record (PHR) that is integrated
with the EMR will allow employees and their dependents 24 hours access to their medical
history.
