Hi Again!
A while back I asked about what people's thoughts were about building an EMR for hospitals. I've had a bit more time to think, and I'm back for more feedback if you guys are willing. I've decided to try and build this out module by module.
I'm thinking of starting with messaging applications. I know of at least one hospital in Canada that doesn't have one, and doctors turn to other means. I'm trying to contact them to see why they don't have one. I know there are a few on the market right now.
A few key things I think would be required
-
Device management. The ability to remotely wipe the local database of the application for either a specific device or all apps for a user.
-
Authentication with a single sign on service. I hope hospitals use one, and I would try to integrate with their service.
-
Secure messaging and file sharing. Everything is encrypted at rest and in transit.
-
Auditing. Have an admin portal where a hospital administrator can monitor chats.
A few things that I think would be useful to a hospital
-
Having a single space to message or call the on call doctor. The app would integrate with a scheduling system to figure out who is on call for any department at any moment and be able to send a regular or urgent message, or call them.
-
EMR integration to share a patient chart for a patient that's about to transfer to someone else and you want to give them a heads up, or to get a second opinion from a colleague.
-
Group/Department chats. Be able to start a group message around a patient, or have a single room for an entire department.
So what I know this is kinda a bare feature set. What do you guys think?
What would be one feature that you would start a campaign for your hospital to switch?
What kind of system does your hospital use?
Thanks for your time everyone. I greatly appreciate it!
