The Data Management and Interoperability Solutions portfolio features two critical components. At HIMSS, Philips will spotlight HealthSuite Interoperability, a fully integrated cloud-enabled health IT platform to meet diverse workflow needs across the imaging enterprise, connecting third-party systems and enabling seamless data workflows to streamline efficiency. This newest version of HealthSuite Interoperability will enable Philips to deliver integrated informatics solutions to help improve clinical workflow, enhance patient care and optimize enterprise management.

The platform will support all relevant data types and formats including DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) images, genomics, pathology, laboratory data, HL7 (Health Level Seven International) standards, formats and definitions for exchanging and developing electronic health records messages, and FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standards. HealthSuite Interoperability will also support all major Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) vendors. Its clinical data repository also offers customers the ability to store and manage granular data, and can be used to create value driving solutions like health image exchanges.

Expanding beyond radiology to feature new cardiology analytics to enhance workflow

Philips' Data Management and Interoperability Solutions also features the company's newest enhancements in Enterprise Performance Analytics – Performance Bridge – expanding operational insights and deep analytics beyond radiology to the cardiology department to enhance efficiencies and help improve effectiveness at the point of care. Philips Enterprise Performance Analytics – Performance Bridge – gives healthcare professionals access to near real-time data on departmental performance through an easy-to-use interactive dashboard. Its operational insights have driven performance improvements in multiple health systems including Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute, where 100% of staff surveyed stated the Performance Bridge Patient Flow applications saves time in their workday and improves teamwork and communication [3]. Additionally, Kootenai Health in Idaho has leveraged the near real-time insights of Performance Bridge to improve their Cath Lab operations. Within 3 years, they have documented an increase in radial access rates associated with fewer complications, including major bleeding and mortality, from 9% to 42%, while improving patient comfort and shortening recovery times [4].
