Informatica Introduces Informatica Proactive Healthcare Decision Mgmt

Informatica Corporation, the independent provider of data integration software, has introduced Informatica Proactive Healthcare Decision Management, a rapidly deployable operational intelligence solution for healthcare that enhances care coordination, improves quality and enhances patient safety.

This solution leverages existing investments in applications, industry standards like HL7 and messaging interfaces between systems. It monitors real-time operational data to identify opportunities where care coordination can be improved. By delivering real-time alerts to appropriate caregivers, it is possible to intervene proactively to enhance care coordination and improve patient safety. Also, since this solution operates at the point of patient interaction, healthcare organisations can at last enable more effective front line care behavior. As a result, they can reduce avoidable readmissions and penalties and improve enforcement of medical and business best practices.

Informatica’s Proactive Decision Management for Healthcare is distinct from conventional, after-the fact alerting and decision support solutions. Built on the Informatica Platform, this solution leverages the flexible Informatica RulePoint and B2B Data Exchange technologies. It uniquely works across applications inside and outside the enterprise. It operates on data in motion vs. persisted data and works with existing infrastructure and industry standards. It also empowers business users to quickly create customised alerts.

“Informatica Proactive Healthcare Decision Management provides an innovative approach to healthcare decision support in the way it delivers real-time alerts to care providers and other front-line staff that spans disparate applications and organisations” said Richard Cramer, Chief Healthcare Strategist, Informatica. “Data warehousing enables analysis of what has happened in the past, and predictive modeling tells you what is likely to happen in the future. Neither of these approaches is sufficient in and of itself. Informatica Proactive Healthcare Decision Management complements these techniques to deliver a more immediate impact, telling you what’s happening right now, so you can take fast, appropriate action. Relevant information is pushed to users instead of them having to seek it out and alerts are delivered to where they can have the greatest effect.”
