THE DEDALUS PLATFORM
Dedalus #ways to Digital Connect 4 Healthcare (DC4H).
Healthcare organizations require real-time insight into the use of their services and the broader health system to effectively address patient needs. However, connecting to this integrated healthcare ecosystem poses a challenge, as accessing the necessary data is often not readily available.
In this complex environment, traditional systems of records struggle to keep pace with the rapid scale and evolution of engagement systems. It is crucial to possess the capability to integrate and ingest data from diverse applications, link datasets, and derive evidence-based insights about populations, while supporting clinical workflows across organizations. These challenges are effectively addressed by the innovative systems of insights offered by the new Dedalus platform DC4H – Digital Connect 4 Health. This platform is the culmination of years of experience gained through OHC – Open Health Connect, D4, and X-Value.
DC4H six pillars of value: meeting healthcare data needs
DC4H is structured on six foundational pillars that collectively form a comprehensive platform for innovation and modernization, facilitating an integrated health system connecting providers, patients, and caregivers across organizational and geographical boundaries.
Drawing from years of industry expertise and the convergence of critical technical components accumulated by Dedalus throughout its growth trajectory, our digital platform is designed to empower healthcare organizations.
With a standards-based (FHIR) open architecture (APIs), DC4H empowers healthcare organizations to access, cleanse, integrate, ingest, and semantically tag their data across various clinical and operational systems. This process produces contextual and actionable insights, facilitating informed and timely decision-making. DC4H serves as an open platform ecosystem, offering the foundational components necessary to utilize machine learning (ML) models from third-party AI partners and conduct predictive analytics.
Moreover, the platform provides pre-built self-service analytics dashboards for data exploration, along with functionality to trigger events based on clinical or operational decision support. This feature ensures timely notifications or alerts to clinicians, enabling prompt action.
While the six pillars are interconnected and reinforce each other’s capabilities, they are also independent, allowing organizations to begin where the most significant value can be realized.
DC4H PLATFORM, ENABLING AN EFFECTIVE CLINICAL COLLABORATION: THE CLINICAL KNOWLEDGE PORTAL
CKP serves as a versatile tool for describing, collecting, and sharing best practices within scientific communities in a non-intrusive yet participatory manner.
It also functions as a coordination tool for coding and nomenclature, including international standards, in a minimally invasive manner.
As an open platform adhering to international standards, CKP facilitates the translation of good practice definitions into daily operations, effortlessly integrating with clinical software, whether from Dedalus or other providers.
Importantly, CKP serves as a repository for practice definitions rather than clinical data.
Key Benefits:
- Seamlessly integrate data from a diverse range of existing healthcare applications using the library of pre-existing integrations.
- Accelerate data aggregation and establish an open, interoperable, and agile platform environment that connects both new and legacy assets.
- Create a FHIR-based integrated care record that transcends a mere data repository, offering curated, standardized, normalized, and semantically relevant data. This empowers clinicians to gain deeper insights into their patients and their interactions within healthcare organizations.
Key Features:
- Effortless deployment options, including cloud, hybrid cloud, or on-premises infrastructure.
- Streamlined management and configuration through a unified self-service platform control center, allowing users to configure every aspect of the platform and monitor all services.
- Simplified setup and configuration with the aid of widgets and pre-defined use cases.
