OTTAWA, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- DINMAR, a leading North American healthcare information technology company, announced today that the South Australia Department of Health (SADH) has signed a contract for vOacis(TM), the web version of the Oacis electronic health record (EHR). Through vOacis, SADH will be able to extend the reach of Oacis from Adelaide’s urban health centers to outlying care venues and clinics.
“For over eight years Oacis has been successfully linking Adelaide’s care venues and disparate systems into an integrated EHR city wide. With 75% of the state’s patient population living within urban boundaries, we’ve integrated a tremendous amount of patient information while systematizing the workflow of thousands of clinicians,” said John Mleczko, Director, Projects Branch ICT Services, SADH. “The vOacis application will enable us to extend that value across the entire state, thus increasing care quality as never imagined before,” concluded Mr. Mleczko.
Oacis was purpose-built to interconnect disparate systems within and beyond care delivery organization domains - long before the interoperability movement gained popularity in the United States. In 1997, SADH became the largest region-wide implementation of Oacis with dozens of interconnected systems and thousands of clinical users of the Oacis results review, order management and EMPI modules. SADH has also recently reduced the turnaround time for producing discharge summaries by as much as 95.5% through use of the Oacis Discharge Summary module.”
“SADH is a highly successful Oacis customer and invaluable business partner,” commented Mark Groper, DINMAR’s President and CEO. “We are thrilled to see SADH expand their EHR state-wide through vOacis. Moreover, other Oacis customers are particularly interested in the Oacis Discharge Summary, which helps physicians and other care team members accelerate discharge documentation, then relay information to care providers outside of the patient’s initial care venue,” commented Mr. Groper.
