Long Term Storage - Archiving
Long-term storage can help improve patient charting management. A
patients chart i.e. tracings and documentation etc. are stored in a
hierarchal fashion. Patient’s records are stored and retrieved as
multiple pregnancies with multiple visits within each pregnancy.
LMS offers two options, magnetic WORM storage or network mountable
volumes (or shares), for patient record long-term storage and retrieval.
Key Features
- The archive subsystem provides secure and un-modifiable storage
(WORM) of historical records. The archives are stored in compressed and
encrypted .xml format and customers are given a unique encryption key
that is site specific. This file format in turn permits the adoption of
numerous of-the-shelf technologies for long term storage at the
Enterprise level such as the EMC Centera via Legato DiskExtender or the
HP MAS.
- For hospitals that are not invested in Enterprise-wide archiving and
storage solutions, LMS is pleased to offer the support for a WORM NAS
device from KOM Network - Kompliance. For more information please visit
their website at
www.komnetworks.com.
- Alternatively, if the customer chooses to assume the long term
storage of obstetrical records, CALM Archiving module can save the files
to any network mountable drive.
- Multiple search options for data retrieval:
- Last name
- First name
- Medical record number
- Admission date range
- Patient records can be held or sent directly to archive.
- Display of retrieved records indicates “archived review”.
- All archived data clearly indicates the patient status: admitted,
discharge, on-hold
Key benefits
- Allows you to compare archived patient visits to current patient
status.
- Records are archived automatically according to a pre-defined
schedule. You can also choose to delay archiving or to archive a record
immediately.
-
To clearly distinguish real time data from archived patient data,
CALM indicates the status of the patient record when a retrieved record
is displayed.
