A Broad View of the
Solutions We Offer
Benefits
Systems Integration and Design
Too often, developers in the health-care industry create enterprise applications in isolation, with little regard to integration with other applications or external systems. Using our systems integration and design solutions, we link separated clinical information systems and applications to improve connectivity, increase information availability, and facilitate secure, timely access to information across research networks.		 Technical staff, researchers, care providers, and patients:

Accelerated discovery due to seamless movement of research data from one application to another, regardless of platform
Quicker retrieval and analysis of patient information, resulting in quicker diagnosis and patient treatment
Quick, secure access
to and management
of personal medical information
Business Process Reengineering
We apply industry-proven tools and analysis techniques to thoroughly assess an enterprise’s existing activities and operations, identify inefficiencies, and reengineer workflows that lead to streamlined performance and higher outputs.		 Technical staff, researchers, care providers, and patients:
Avoidance of redundant labor, allowing physicians to focus on conducting experiments
Streamlined methods for capturing complex clinical information
Simplified admissions, registration, and discharge
More efficient bed management, protocol tracking, and patient tracking
Data Interoperability
We work with standards-making bodies to develop and incorporate industry standards that improve the way different healthcare information systems share information. Our interoperability solutions enable easier, more efficient collection and exchange of clinical data between different platforms and stakeholders during each stage of the clinical
trials process. 		Researchers, sponsors, and Federal regulators:

A common language with which clinical researchers, sponsors, and patient care providers can communicate
Streamlined compliance with HIPAA, CDISC, and HL7 electronic data standards
Enhanced ability to send, receive, and analyze electronic
health records
Wireless Solutions
Digital Infuzion offers to equip clinical research and patient care environments with the technical capabilities necessary to achieve efficient wireless service. Through
our strategic wireless integration methods, we can enable secure access to clinical data repositories and enterprise networks through devices such as PDAs, cell phones, and notebook PCs.		 Technical staff, researchers, care providers, and patients:

Ability to remotely manage your enterprise network, whenever
and wherever
Ability to remotely
query an enterprise database and retrieve valuable data
Ability to capture data while treating patients and remotely enter it into an enterprise database
Less time browsing through folders; more time interacting
with patients
Secure, timely access
to patient records
Data Warehousing and Mining Solutions
We integrate clinical data residing in different locations and platforms into a central data warehouse, and develop data marts and data warehouse platforms to support relevant reporting and querying requirements. What results is the ability to convert the data into usable knowledge and strategic action.		 Executive officers, researchers, technical staff, and decision makers:

Ability to access,
query, and generate reports from aggregated clinical research and patient data
Ability to inform business strategies and administrative decisions with accurate reports
Improved customer service and patient treatment due to a more informed workforce
Information Assurance
We assess your organization’s information needs and goals, and implement software security solutions to ensure that your information is not only safe and confidential, but accurate, reliable, and available.
From rigorous system validation and verification to requirements assessment and threat analysis, we
support the full information assurance life cycle.		 For technical staff, researchers, care providers, and patients:

Contingency plans and training for recovering data in the event
of disaster
Enhanced confidentiality of patient data in a scalable storage system
Ability to securely back up increasingly complex patient data

Promoting Global Standards
Digital Infuzion is an active partner and a corporate sponsor of standards-making bodies such as the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) and Health Level Seven (HL7).
Our involvement keeps us intimately involved in the development and incorporation of emerging industry standards that support efficient data exchange, accelerated research, and optimal
patient care.

CDISWITCH™: An Application of Global Standards
Digital Infuzion has developed a product called the CDISWITCH™ (Clinical Data Interchange Switch), a software tool that enables a sponsor to seamlessly integrate with its clinical partners and sites using industry standards such as CDISC SDM, ODM, LDM, and HL7 CDA to accelerate the discovery of biotherapeutics. CDISWITCH™ provides a clinical data infrastructure for centralizing the routing, transformation, security, management, and monitoring of clinical data across stakeholders.
