BridgeHead Healthcare Data Management Platform Simplifies Integration and View of Hospital Data

Ability to manage unstructured content as well as web access and directory capabilities

BridgeHead Software Ltd announced the latest version of the Healthcare Data Management (HDM) platform with the ability to manage unstructured content as well as key updates to the HealthStore Independent Clinical Archive (ICA).

The technical enhancements enable the HDM platform to create a standard view of all data, regardless of its origin and type, while at the same time make it easier to use.

Standardised on XDS technology, the HDM platform introduces two components
to the HealthStore Independent Clinical Archive (ICA)
:

  • HealthStore web access (HWA) – a web based search portal that securely allows access to all content and content types managed by HealthStore;

  • HealthStore directory – a central registry of the metadata pertaining to the content stored in the archive, which provides rapid search and access to all content in the archive.

Managing unstructured content
Bridgehead has always had a data policy management engine that manages content and metadata separately, but the HealthStore solution has formalised this functionality to meet Open Standards, most notably XDS. This allows a way of describing data, across all data types to help power the patient-centric view.

With XDS at its core, HealthStore can ingest content in any format: DICOM, HL7 documents, native XDS documents and unstructured content. All content is registered in the central Directory, which can be searched via single interface, simplifying access to disparate content types. Moreover, because the HDM can now ingest items from a file system and at the same time query the environment to obtain metadata about the ingested item (e.g. patient ID), HealthStore can ingest items from file-based repositories in a consistent manner, and improve the speed and accuracy of content access.

Automated deployment and support for multiple environments
The HDM platform also has been enhanced by adding an intelligent installation and configuration GUI, which automatically discovers and presents a user’s full IT server environment to enable a simple point-and-click server configuration for the HT Backup environment. HT Backup subsequently deploys all required software components and alerts the user when completed. As a result, software upgrades are easier to deploy.

HDM offers external support and functionality for following systems:

  • Extending Meditech Backup Facility (MBF) for recover point ISB/IDR,

  • Meditech view only EMR,

  • EMC Atmos cloud interface,

  • Dell rapid data access.

With the latest version of the BridgeHead HDM platform, BridgeHead continues to build on its vision for the HealthStore Independent Clinical Archive by simplifying the integration of all hospital data into an easily-accessed, standards-based data store,” said Tony Cotterill, chief product officer, BridgeHead. “In addition, BridgeHead is adding new functionality to its core platform that makes it easier for hospitals to view, search and drive more value out of their archive data than ever before.
