HCC – Health Care Community is a case management solution for
non in-patient care including:

  1. Outpatients
  2. Community health
  3. Mental health
  4. Sexual health
  5. Rehabilitation and chronic care etc

Both office and enterprise editions support scalability across organisations of differing size and service offerings.

Intrahealth has invested to build a platform for community
based care as:

  • Few companies worldwide are investing in community care technology
  • Inpatient systems do not fit well with the diversity of services community care requires
  • HCC supports inclusive participation:
    – Providers (provider network)
    – Patient (“Client”)
    – Care givers and Whanau
    – Research
  • HCC provides an opportunity to approach the Personal Health Record as a collaboration between community health and consumers

Community care is a diverse set of delivery components

  • General Practitioners, Homecare, District nursing, Specialists, Health promotion, Health protection, Non-inpatient hospital services, Rehabilitation
  • The GP is a one of many, but a key component in care delivery

The delivery components are assembled in different ways in different markets – the Provider Network is the label we assign to this.

Community based services are highly diverse

  • Many different services (mental health, sexual health, disease state management, health promotion, health protection, general practice, etc)
  • Many different delivery mechanisms
    – Organisation structures: Corporate, trusts, collaboratives, co-ops, etc
    – Technology: PC, Internet, PDAs, etc

The diversity of services led to our “Platform” approach

  • Core process flows and concepts for community delivery are in place for rapid implementation
  • Flexibility to allow technical users to easily extend and develop
  • Enables broad requirements of community care providers to be met without orphan products
  • For each service, the palette of options is assembled in specialised ways

Using our Platform technology approach, Intrahealth is New Zealand’s largest supplier of community software:

  • HCC has been implemented at 2 of New Zealand’s largest District Health Boards
  • We have no inpatient solution customers to dilute our focus
  • Approximately 200 community sites have been installed of various sizes
