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