C5: Cambio

The Department of Health’s Health Informatics Review (July 2008) highlights system requirements for secondary care in order to meet the information needs of clinicians. It identifies five key elements – termed the ‘Clinical 5’ –to “create a ‘tipping point’ in the acceptability and demand for strategic IT systems.

These five elements are the foundation for the Strategic IT Systems: The Clinical 5 report. The Clinical 5 are:

• a patient administration system (PAS) with integration with other systems and sophisticated reporting;

• order communications and diagnostics reporting (including all pathology and radiology tests and tests ordered in primary care);

• discharge letters with coding (discharge summaries, clinic and Accident and Emergency letters);

• scheduling (for beds, tests, theatres);

• e-prescribing (including ‘To Take Out’ medicines).

Each report from the Strategic IT Systems: The Clinical 5 series provides a quick reference for health service providers seeking to assess the options available to them. The report details the current position and Clinical 5 products offered by individual clinical IT vendors active in the UK market, as of the beginning of 2009.

Strategic IT Systems: The Clinical 5 series begins with two leaders in the UK market: System C and Oasis. E-Health Insider will continue to publish new reports in this series over the next month. Forthcoming report profiles include InterSystems, Agfa, Siemens, CSE and Cambio among others. Please watch this space!
