Health-care software maker Mitem Corp. has built a user interface for busy physicians in hospital settings, giving them patient information they need from a variety of sources without forcing them to learn a variety of "green screen" computer systems. Interestingly enough, the system is made from Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004, which was introduced this week.
The system is called Blue Iris and reportedly has ways of presenting more information on a single screen, with the capability of expanding the area of the screen that has the information that the doctor is interested in. Traditionally, Flash has been animation based and not generally considered for business applications. This new enterprise version is form based and has enabled developers to deliver rich applications that you expect on a desktop, but now they can cast them in a Web browser.
Features of this release of Blue Iris include:
- Single view of patient information in a True SOAP progress note format
- Real-time data access
- Dynamic views of data that allow physicians to see ranges of data from hours or even weeks with the simple click of a button
- Remote access that provides physicians with the ability to access patient data from anywhere as long as they have a secure connection to their organization
- Imaging integration that allows physicians to see imaging data, such as X-rays, in context with the rest of the patient data
According to Mitem, Blue Iris has been painstakingly designed to match the way physicians and clinical staff work. Our goal was to create a product that is very intuitive and easy-to-use. We challenged the team to develop an application that clinical staff can learn to use within 5 minutes without training or documentation.
