The migration to a COTS solution and retirement of VistA has implications on the long-term viability of the Indian Health Service (IHS) Health IT system, the Resource and Patient Management System (RPMS), which relies upon core modules from VistA EHR. This fact, combined with the independent and well-recognized need for RPMS modernization based on feedback from the RPMS user base, IHS Programs and Offices, has led to the modernization research collaboration between the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and the IHS, of which the Legacy Assessment is a component. This executive summary presents the findings of the in-depth RPMS assessment, including an evaluation of the people, processes and technology that are part of the current RPMS ecosystem, designed to answer whether RPMS can be modernized. The Legacy Assessment team took a human-centered design (HCD) approach to assess whether RPMS can be modernized. This assessment leveraged code reviews, technical evaluation, interviews, observations, literature review, and feedback from stakeholders to assess the findings and recommendations. This document is designed to answer two questions: 1. Can RPMS be modernized given its current state, functional scope, and known risks and constraints? 2. If RPMS can be modernized, what are the options to achieving such modernization while protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the longitudinal patient healthcare data stored in the system? The terms modernization, optimization, and stabilization are defined below as used in the context of this legacy analysis. 6 Indian Health Service HIT Modernization Project Modernization is the continued process of updating, converting, or replacing a legacy technology system to improve business processes and maximize user agility. Optimization is the process of modifying a legacy system to enable it to work more efficiently, use fewer resources, and provide the needed functionality. In this study, additional desired functionalities include but are not limited to interoperability, patient access to a personal health record, and improved usability and reporting. The stabilization of a legacy system ensures that the current configuration will remain reliable and functioning for approximately the next 3-5 years. The definition of IHS Modernization developed by the Legacy Assessment team is: An organizational endeavor which brings a health IT system to a new state that is continuously evolving. It is people-and process-centric; it is adaptive, progressive, and aims to rethink and redefine the problem to evolve a system and its capabilities to deliver value to its users and stakeholders. It is resilient, and able to withstand forces from within and without. It is synergistic with the clinical vision for the healthcare system. The findings of the Legacy Assessment are stated below. Please also refer to Section 5 - Opportunities, Section 6 - Required Steps, and in particular Section 6.3 - Summary Statement for more detail. The IHS RPMS HIT system can be modernized — modernization will enable the system to provide critical information technology support for health care services to American Indian and Alaska Native

  • Ricoh and Intersystems Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver Healthcare Breakthroughs
    News Release Ricoh and InterSystems announce strategic partnership to deliver healthcare breakthroughs Interoperable solutions will connect devices, systems, data and organizations for improved outcomes MALVERN, PA, Feb. 19, 2014 – Ricoh Americas Corporation today announced a strategic partnership with InterSystems to develop new information solutions for acute healthcare that can improve workflow, cost-efficiency and ultimately patient care. Both companies will be exhibiting at the upcoming HIMSS 2014 Annual Conference and Exhibition, Feb. 23-27 in Orlando. InterSystems, a global leader in software for connected care, provides InterSystems HealthShare®, a health informatics platform, which enables strategic interoperability and analytics for action across a hospital network, community, region or nation. The Ricoh partnership with InterSystems will enable interoperable solutions designed to better manage healthcare information. One solution, which will be demoed at HIMSS next week, will enable clinicians for the first time to photograph a newly admitted patient’s injury and automatically insert the photo into the patient’s electronic health record (EHR) without ever leaving the patient’s bedside. Before taking the picture, the clinician would use the Ricoh Healthcare Camera to scan a barcode on the patient’s wristband and add information to describe the injury. The tags could include user- defined items, such as “laceration” and “left leg,” data the clinician enters directly, and even voice recordings. The photo image and data would then wirelessly attach to the patient’s EHR. This solution would quickly and easily create more complete pictures of patients’ progress, supporting improved outcomes. “Information gaps are a big problem in healthcare,” said Patrick Braun, Vice President, Healthcare Vertical, Ricoh Americas Corporation.
