Overview

Forcare offers a full suite of software products to realize health information exchanges - solutions for sharing clinical information. Our modular product portfolio is based on the principles of the IHE XDS – Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing – technical framework and helps you connect (legacy) information systems in a modern document sharing infrastructure.

Clinical documents are provided by existing clinical IT systems such as HIS, Lab, RIS, PACS or any departmental system that has a need to share or collect information from patients. Forcare helps you to disclose and connect these systems. Examples of “documents” are:

  • Radiology reports.
  • Lab reports.
  • Images (radiology, cardiology, any)
  • ECGs.
  • Medical summaries (referral notes, etc.).

Forcare's product suite consist of five key components, that together form a complete modular IHE XDS infrastructure for clinical information sharing.

forindex_21_kleinCentral registry. ForIndex 2.1 keeps track of meta-data for the clinical documents to be shared. This way, a patient-centric reference index of available information is created.

forstore_21_kleinDocument repository. ForStore 2.1 stores and archives documents created by clinical source systems. After receiving documents it will register the availability and format of these documents with the central registry.

forview_21_kleinDocument access. ForView 2.1 is a web-based viewer that allows clinicians access to all documents registered in forIndex 2.1. It provides various ways to search for information, presents documents in a historical overview and allows access to documents with a simple mouse click. ForView 2.1 can easily be integrated in your local EMR environment and is highly customizable. Both Microsoft Internet Explorer as well as Mozilla Firefox are supported.

forconnect_21_kleinEasy to connect. ForConnect 2.1 offers connectivity to existing clinical information systems such as HIS, RIS and PACS, using standard communication standards like DICOM, HL7 and PDF. ForConnect 2.1 acts as a broker to "XDS-enable" your existing information systems.

foraudit_21_kleinAudits and Logging. ForAudit 2.1 offers standardized logging of all relevant activity in the connected systems, providing detailed information on who accessed what information at what time. This ensures accountability.
