Today’s
healthcare enterprises are increasingly seeking to integrate
disconnected computer systems while effectively managing
the confidentiality and authenticity of unprecedented
volumes of patient information. Moreover, they face constant
pressure to comply with HIPAA regulations and emerging
industry data standards. Our experience and expertise
in the healthcare industry allow us to offer full life cycle,
cost-effective IT solutions that meet the information
needs of both care providers and patients. We have served clients in this industry such as:
 |
National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Division of AIDS |
|
National Institutes of Health, National Heart, Lung,
and Blood Institute |
|
University of Colorado Cancer Center |

Centralized Patient
Information
Through our expertise in database design, management,
and warehousing, we consolidate patient data
into central locations, making it available
and securely accessible across platforms for
speedy viewing and retrieval by care providers
and patients.
Making Patient
Information Interoperable
Patients often participate in two parallel arenas
of healthcare: clinical trials and clinical
care. However, these two arenas rarely communicate
or share data with each other, even though they
collect similar data about the patients with
whom they engage.
Digital Infuzion links these arenas through
Web services, standards-based schemas, and platform-independent
translational tools. What results is the ability
of patient information and identification to
be better managed across domains, resulting
in satisfaction and lower administrative costs.
Providing Security
for Patient Information
Protecting and maintaining patients’ private
information is one of our top priorities. Along
with database and wireless access solutions,
Digital Infuzion provides information assurance
solutions to ensure that information transactions
are secure, reliable, and confidential.
Providing Access
Through Web Services
Through our Web-based services, we aim to ease
portability of and access to medical records
for patients and care providers. For example,
we envision creating user-centered Web portals
to provide the public with online access to
personal medical information. This would allow
patients and other authorized medical personnel
to search, analyze, and link to information
such as results from a surgery procedure, hospital
bills, or blood test results.
Wireless Solutions
for Patients
Our solutions in wireless networking and applications
development make patient information available
and confidentially accessible through mobile
devices such as cell phones, PDAs, and Blackberry™ devices. As the world experiences regular advances
in wireless technology, we envision a wireless
service that enables patients to subscribe to
pertinent clinical information and then receive
alerts when updates are made to that information.
For example: diabetic patients watching their
cholesterol level might receive a wireless alert
for a new low-cholesterol item at the local
food store. There is also the prospect of developing
a wireless alert system that can notify patients
of newly-released drugs designed to treat illnesses.
