Current Development Projects

Provider Portal      

The Provider Portal provides a single entry point for Strong Health physicians to quickly obtain the data needed for their everyday work. The portal provides a single entry point to Web Based Email, Omega or IDX scheduling, PTWeb, OR Schedules, Events Calendar, PSO (Patient Sign Out), Miner Library, and many more. Each user can customize his portal to show only buttons and links for the preferred site, how the windows should be opened (in a frame or as a new window) and add their own favorite urls for quick access.

PSO (Patient Sign Out)      

Patient Sign Out is an original Strong Health Provider Portal Application and is used by Nurse Practioners, Physician Assistants and Residents. The PSO is used for:

• Assignments of team and team-members to cover inpatients
• Tracking of patient location, attending of record, other providers
• Balancing workload among team-members, and moonlighters
• Mini patient profile: demographics, isolation, code status, weight, dx, PMH, allergies
• Crisis support: code-status, fever protocols, dispo, attendings' and teams' pagers.
• Up-to-date clinical data (medications, issues, tasks)
• External use of data by attendings, other teams, other units' personnel.

CDR (Clinical Data Repository)       (in development)

The CDR is a centralized, open repository of patient and clinical data. It is a real time database of patient MPI and demographic data and relavent clinical data, used for patient care, research and education.

Surgical-Forms Tracking       (in development)

The Surgical-Forms Tracking Application is used to track the status of forms used in pre-admission tests (PRATs).

Results Notifier      

The results Notifier is a standalone application that notifies providers, by email or pager, of critical lab results and of the availability of Radiology and Pathology reports.

Provider Database

The Provider Database contains the information for the online Find a Provider area of the Strong Health web site. The entries are maintained by the Office of Physician Services. Information about clinic sites, specialties, subspecialties, special interests, and certifications is included.

Faculty Database

The Faculty Database is a comprehensive database containing information on all Medical Center faculty, clinical and academic. It is used by the Dean's Office to record appointments, demographic data, to track reappointment dates, and generate data required for reports.

PTWeb       (in beta test)

PTWeb is a web based outpatient ambulatory care patient management system developed for use by Strong Health care providers. For a more complete description of PTWeb, please see Dr. Egan Allen's faculty page.

Technical Details

All development is done in house by Medinfo staff and faculty. The databases are housed on an Oracle 8i Server running on Solaris. The web pages are dynamically generated from the data using Macromedia's ColdFusion server.
