//SIDER is a secure solution that facilitates distribution of medical results to medical clinics and the Quebec Health Record (QHR). It acts as an integrated system for the electronic distribution of results, facilitating the work of all those involved in the process of monitoring medical results, namely doctors, administrative staff of clinics, and laboratory and radiology managers. By leveraging our vast experience in the healthcare sector, we were able to identify the biggest challenges facing IT personnel and to develop a complete and secure solution to facilitate the work of all stakeholders, including full process tracking.
//SIDER enables electronic distribution of medical results, eliminating the need to fax, mail, or scan results in order to import them into a patient's electronic medical record.
- Lab results are transmitted to //SIDER in the form of HL7 messages (in compliance with the standard).
- //SIDER validates messages received, transforms them into standardized schematics, and stores them in its information bank.
- At predetermined regular intervals, the electronic medical records (EMRs) of medical clinics search for the new results through a secure Web service.
