Bangalore: InterSystems, an enterprise-class applications deployment solution provider has partnered with Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, in New Delhi for the deployment of InterSystems TrakCare, a Web-based healthcare information system (HIS).
TrakCare HIS would enable outpatient throughput, medical package control and support for pharmaceutical substitution, access to laboratory results, reduced adverse allergy and drug interaction incidents. The product would provide flexible screen designs. Sir Ganga Ram chose TrakCare to replace its previous 20-year-old HIS over competing solutions because of InterSystems' track record of successful HIS implementations at hundreds of sites around the world and its technology advantages. Its advantages include that TrakCare is Web-based, that all its modules operate within a unified information environment, and that it is built on the InterSystems Cache database. "We now realize that our high transaction rate - with a peak rate of 2,500 per hour - is only possible because we are using Cache," said Dr. Karanvir Singh, the surgeon responsible for the HIS implementation.
TrackCare is used to automate the hospital's 35 specialties, many with different workflows which have 'hardened' over the hospitals 50 year history, making them difficult to change. "TrakCare supports multiple security clearances with control at a high granularity level. All activities, including the act of simply viewing a record, can be audited," said Dr. Singh.
