Downtime EMR enables physicians and other clinicians to retain access to predefined clinical datasets in the event of a planned or unplanned downtime event.

Application Objectives

• Scalable cost effectiveness – regardless of the size of your enterprise 
• Develop a redundant source of you’re his data and other system information that can be accessed during planned and un-planned downtime events.
• Update data every 5 to 10 minutes
• Allow hospitals to established a historical timeframe for data retention (months/all)
• Include views of your HIS data elements and reports
• Give hospitals the ability to determine the patient population
  • Current In-patients
  • Emergency Department
  • Recent Out-patients
• Provide flexibility as to when the system will be deployed
• Develop a process to access scanned and archived data

Operational Environment

In normal operation, predefined clinical datasets are periodically fetched from your HIS and written to a SQL Server

• Access your information, at the data and report level, via a Web-Browser
• Data will be up to date as of 5 to 10 minutes from the point of the downtime
• Data sources can be from any Health Information Systems
• Tools are provided to assist with operations

Disaster Operations

When an event is detected, Downtime EMR steps in to provide continued access to clinical data from the SQL Server. Downtime EMR also tracks the start time and duration of downtime events and automatically recovers (writes to SQL) any missing data.

• Access is directed from the “live” system to the redundant system
• System is accessed via the portal through your Web-Browser
• Full functionality can be available through the portal or access provided to your systems (same as “live” environment)
