Introducing Globalhealth
Hxcel’s flagship technology, "Globalhealth" combines cutting edge technologies and medical standards with what we know about successful online relationship management and allows users to create quality health care applications that can securely interoperate with each other and other external applications.
Enterprise and Interoperability
Globalhealth was built with the enterprise in mind. We don’t want to be another closed proprietary system. We want to be the “open framework” standard built on standards when it comes to storing and sharing Electronic Health Records online.
To make such a software platform a reality, we have chosen to leverage the Platform as a Service (PaaS) model, and by association, Software as a Service (SaaS) and optimized and fine-tuned it for the health care sector. We have affectionately termed the new model "Healthcare as a Service (HeCaaS)".
Healthcare as a Service
The Globalhealth HIE starts with this premise of a centrally managed platform, where 3rd party vendors can install and manage their eHealth applications.
Healthcare as a Service adds its own characteristics on top of PaaS and SaaS:
- Interoperability
- Security
- Customization
Interoperability
“Interoperability is a property of a product or system, whose interfaces are completely understood, to work with other products or systems, present or future, without any restricted access or implementation.”
The Globalhealth HIE was conceived, first and foremost, because eHealth applications today need to be always-on, super redundant and ultimately infinitely scalable and, most importantly, be able to communicate with each other and understand the data they use to communicate with.
Globalhealth, applications created by different vendors and deployed onto the platform, can speak to each other over agreed upon transmission protocols and interfaces, internally to the platform and externally to other HIEs. The goal is to centralize health care records onto a few HIEs around the world, have the HIEs synchronize that data across themselves, and make them available to everyone, anywhere, without the need for anyone to install expensive systems locally. Data will be available, securely, from a laptop, smart phone or tablet computer.
Security
Regular SaaS implementations already entertain the concepts of security and access control. HeCaaS extends this premise and adds to it a patient-centric rights approach that includes, but not limited to:
- Patient record level sharing
- Emergency record level sharing
- Provider to Provider access rights
