Electronic Medical Records Ecosystem Cloud Transition Investigation, Planning, and Development for Robust, Scalable and Secure Long-Term Support

YMS是一家位于安大略省马卡姆的公司，开发和管理医疗信息技术解决方案，包括电子病历(EMR)管理和医疗账单软件。YMS已经为安大略省的医疗保健专业人员和他们的行政人员提供了超过25年的帮助。YMS计费软件是作为桌面应用程序构建的，为其客户提供了一致的服务，但需要提高其可靠性、安全性和速度，并创建一个可以以可扩展的方式管理和发展的应用程序。YMS希望调查、测试和开发计费云应用程序，以实现更高的可靠性和EMR集成。莫霍克学院移动健康和电子健康发展和创新中心(MEDIC)自2007年以来一直进行数字健康应用研究项目，拥有研究和开发该项目的软件、健康信息、数字健康数据标准、迭代开发以及网络经验和专业知识。Medc非常熟悉满足严格的健康软件标准，以及构建可靠和可扩展的现代基于Web的解决方案。该项目将确保YMS计费应用程序重新开发，具有高效的工作流程、安全的系统和模块化框架，以实现与其EMR及其演变的有效集成。在加拿大家庭医生学院的最佳建议-高级和有意义的使用EMR中，质量改进被强调为关键，该项目将支持YMS的EMR产品及其内部运营。加拿大的经济战略表关于健康和生物科学的报告指出，加拿大的目标是到2025年将加拿大的排名从2017年英联邦基金医疗体系绩效排名中的11个国家中的第9位提高到前5位。提高排名的一个重要因素是减少行政时间和成本，并改善护理提供。该项目将通过支持YMS EMR并提高其医疗保健服务客户的效率来为这些努力做出贡献
