Clinical Knowledge Management

Medtech's MD Analyze applies a three-stage process to clinical knowledge management:

• Firstly, it links to all existing data sources using HL-7 or XML technology to create a master patient record, mapping all available data into MD Analyze's clinical concepts with separate clinical pathways for each diagnosis.
• Secondly, it uses a patented coding system to isolate and codify the most valuable clinical information, usually from the “free text” fields in existing data.
• Finally, MD Analyze’s patented search and analysis engine is used to aggregate codified clinical data and present findings to provide evidence for improved financial, safety and clinical outcomes.

MD Analyze can be implemented in any healthcare system where codification and analysis of clinical data can add value. It can be used in a hospital environment to provide a single system to improve clinical performance and knowledge management across multiple specialties of acute care or chronic disease. It can also be used to improve clinical performance and knowledge management within a single specialty area of surgery, acute care or chronic disease, and to track performance across multiple teams and facilities.

MD Analyze enhances the value of data by facilitating complex activities such as clinical audits to be undertaken quickly and accurately. All existing patient databases can be supported and enhanced by converting the records into MD Analyze. This makes existing data more valuable as it becomes available to the MD Analyze search and analysis engine. MD Analyze also allows clinicians to customise data collection for specialised activities for their most complex treatments or protocols.

Our MD Analyze product has also been developed to international standards, ensuring it satisfies all existing requirements for privacy and security, as well as mapping data to international coding systems such as ICD, SNOMED and local HRG/DRG or billing codes.
