IBM Launches Groundbreaking Health Record System for South China's Largest Hospital
Colleagues,
As reported by MSNBC.Com...IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced the launch of a new suite of healthcare information sharing and analytics technologies at the Guang Dong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which combines the strengths of TCM and Modern Western Medicine (MWM). The first-of-a-kind system, dubbed CHAS (Clinical and Health Records Analytics and Sharing), is designed to enable the sharing of electronic medical records (EMRs) that incorporates TCM and MWM data across the hospital network.
By integrating health records that combine Eastern and Western medicine into one standardized system and applying sophisticated analytics, CHAS can also provide a way for healthcare practitioners to more deeply understand which treatment plans and techniques from each approach work best for specific diseases and medical conditions. Eventually, this aggregated information could help practitioners develop highly personalized treatment plans for patients that incorporate aspects of both modalities.
