Clinicians want rapid access to all available health data to accelerate their decision-making and properly serve their patients. They want complete, accurate and up-to-date data. And this, by using a single tool; their existing system (their EMR1, their PMS2 or their EHR3) to obtain the consolidated view of the patient file.

Members of healthcare teams and clinicians want to work in an interdisciplinary fashion to ensure proper follow-up for their patients. They want to share data, manage it, analyze it and integrate it. In reality, clinicians use different systems, making exchanges and collaborative work difficult: telephone, fax, nothing is truly integrated. And each clinician wants to keep his/her existing system!

OPHelIE allows clinicians to use their local system to manage their patient records AND to communicate with other members of the Healthcare Team, regardless of the systems they use. The collaboration functionalities are integrated into the local systems in a completely transparent manner and OPHelIE, acting as a federating agent, supports the integration and inter-system interoperability.
