The Digital Hospital: Healthcare in the 21st Century
Healthcare organizations are becoming more forward-thinking in their need to create the Digital Hospital: a care delivery organization capable of electronically capturing and presenting patient data at the point-of-care. As such, today’s hospital datacenter must be viewed as an extension of the care organization. Many of today’s hospitals are adopting the use of digital applications such as PACS/RIS (MRI scans, x-ray images), CPOE (e-prescriptions and lab results) and CDS applications into their clinical workflow and practice. These applications require a framework that enables the presentation of its information in a unified and contextual view: the right information to the right caregiver at the right time.

Information at the Center of Health Information Technology (HIT)
At the heart of any HIT initiative is the need for patient information to flow with patient care. The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a major initiative endorsed by the U.S. government and the healthcare community that can make this a reality. The EHR will create a patient-centric model of healthcare to extend the continuity of care across geographic locations and care settings as patient information will be securely exchanged in the Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO). The RHIO is a network of interconnected healthcare systems that enables the electronic exchange of patient information in compliance with Health Information Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) regulations.

Technology that Follows the Patient
Over eighty percent of healthcare involves human touch. We view the role of technology in healthcare as supporting the clinical workflow of the caregiver at every point of care delivery. Royer has partnered with industry-leading vendors that have a committed presence within healthcare to deliver an integrated platform. We are dedicated to working with organizations in the global healthcare community to design and implement technology that will assist in reducing medical errors, increase patient quality and safety while optimizing the cost of delivering healthcare.
