Electronic Patient Record (EPR)
JHH Allows
clinicians to access documents describing a patient’s stay in the Hospital (i.e. Discharge Summaries, Operative Notes, Clinic Documents).  It allows the physician to finalize (i.e. “sign”) a document.  It allows for a clinician to navigate through the various result reporting (Lab and Rad) systems and to get a listing of patients, either through a floor census or through a list associates with the physician.  This system is available to both JHH and to JH-Bayview, with specific coding for each institution. EPR Web allows access to EPR via the Web.

Interface Engine
A complex messaging
standard, HL7, for the exchange of information between systems (patient admitted, lab result, radiology result, diet order ...).  An interface engine is a sort of router - applications which have something to say send messages to the interface engine, it checks to see which other systems have "subscribed" to that specific content type of the message, and forwards a copy of the message to them.  In the real world, different vendor's systems rarely agree on all aspects of the message formatting, so another major function of the interface engine is to reformat messages as needed for each recipient.  Our HL7 interface engine environment spans JHH and JHBMC, includes at least 60 clinical and administrative systems, and delivers about 3,000,000 messages a week.
