CliniFlow

CliniFlow® is a comprehensive medical records and resource management system specifically designed for use in community health and ambulatory care clinics. CliniFlow efficiently and comprehensively addresses the medical records aspects of the examining physician's encounter with the patient. CliniFlow users can enter patient information in a variety of ways. Medical data entered by nurses, technicians, and physicians is stored conveniently and logically in the CliniFlow medical record, and can be analyzed to determine utilization levels and outcomes.

CliniFlow conforms to open database and connectivity standards and is HL7 compliant. It may be integrated or interfaced with other clinical, practice management, laboratory and research systems with very little effort.

General Features

CliniFlow is designed for use in large, multi-user practices, such as extensive Network settings in which many physicians, including specialists in various fields, all work with the same patient population. It is suitable for single-user practices as well.

CliniFlow is customized to meet the BPHC Disease Management Collaborative requirements. Standards compliance is integrated throughout the system through tools like customized templates, automated alerts and rules, and extensive medication safety checks.

Versatility

Physicians who prefer not to use the computer while they interact with patients find this program easy to use. It requires virtually no typing; users simply select from standard lists. With use, CliniFlow automatically compiles a personalized list of an individual physician's most commonly used symptoms, signs, diagnoses, medications and tests. The personalized list can also be instantly expanded to standard, extensively detailed lists.

If physicians prefer not to perform direct data entry, a transcriptionist can enter the information and the system will organize the information in a way that makes subsequent consultations far more efficient. CliniFlow is applicable to all specialties: each user defines an individualized database from comprehensive tables provided and selects standard forms for each procedure, such as stress EKG, colonoscopy, etc.

Security and Confidentiality

CliniFlow features a sophisticated, but simple-to-use method of password control and data entry identification (audit trail) for all data entered and retrieved.

A hierarchy of access permissions set in the management module allows variable levels of access to patient and clinical data.

Generation of Statistical Analysis

The ability to generate statistical analysis of medical, as well as non-medical data, provides significant economic and efficiency benefits. A physician can instantly gain an overview of the practice. At a glance, a general practitioner can review the spectrum of conditions in the patient population, trends of particular infections over time or responses to various antibiotics within a season. Overviews and cross-sections of a practice, such as billing trends, productivity and time-utilization, can demonstrate cost benefit effectiveness. The incorporation of a powerful SQL Client Server Database allows large group practices or Network operations to consolidate, integrate, and analyze data.

Workflow Management

CliniFlow provides convenient automated messaging features which enhance inter-staff communication and workflow processes. Users can send messages between stations, either independently or attached to an individual patient's files, indicating urgency status or other information. Every user has a personal In Box which tracks work assignments, unfinished tasks, and internal mail. CliniFlow modifies workflow processes to offer consistency, efficiency and accuracy..
