The Electronic Health Record redesigned.
Are today’s EHRs still fit for purpose?
We think not. Archaic user interface design, siloed data architecture, and increasing regulatory demands are all contributing to physicians suffering digital fatigue and the potential to make errors.
Contributing factors
Design: EHRs were designed primarily for billing not clinical workflows and have remained largely unchanged since their inception in the late ‘60s.
Technology: Dated technology stacks have hindered agility and advancement leading to slow, incremental innovation at best.
Interoperability: Historical lack of data standardization combined with analogue patient records (faxes are still a thing!) present an ongoing challenge for the entire healthcare ecosystem.
Regulations: Up until 2020 patient data access and exchange was restricted and proprietary.
Resulting consequences
Patients are at risk: Two million patients annually are at risk of medical errors due to missing clinical information.
Physicians are suffering: 32% of physicians cite EHRs as a primary contributor to burnout.
Interactions are sub-optimal: Patient interactions are blighted by physicians spending a disproportionate amount of time on EHRs.
Our solution
Completely redesign the Acute Care EHR experience.
Tersus is an interactive EHR application that combines user-centered design with artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver a clear, concise, and comprehensive visualization of the entire patient story – in less time and with fewer clicks.
Key benefits
Helps avoid medical errors due to missing clinical information
Reduces clicks & searches so physicians can spend more time focusing on patients
Improves quality of care due to streamlined patient chart workflows
Becomes a trusted clinical tool instead of just a data storage system (as they are today)
