DXS Benefits the Entire Healthcare Spectrum

Healthcare Provider
Not only does the DXS Point-of-Care™ product save physicians precious time and keep them at the forefront of medical developments, it also allows them to provide patients with valuable condition-specific information in leaflet form. This feature enhances physician-patient dialogue and helps build trust, the cornerstone of a successful physician-patient relationship. A trusting relationship between a physician and his/her patient is at the core of efficient and effectively managed healthcare.

Allied Health Professionals
DXS Referrals Direct (DXS-RD) is an exciting new service intended to assist GPs, Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) and patients. Our electronic listings system is designed to represent a direct and instant referral system between UK doctors, nurses, and UK AHPs such as clinical psychologists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropodists/podiatrists, dietitians and chiropractors. The referral methodology is highly advanced and integrated into the electronic patient record (EPR) systems used by UK general practitioners. This means that when a doctor enters a patient diagnosis into the EPR, a list of categories of AHPs relevant to the diagnosis and, who practice in the immediate geographic area, appears on his desktop computer screen. This makes referrals easy and efficient.

Patient
Research shows that a visit to the physician along with clear communication and understanding on the part of both physician and patient saves time and money. Patients who are empowered with knowledge and information are better able to both understand and manage their conditions. It is a fact that informed patients cost less to treat and generally respond more positively to therapy.

Insurers and Regulators
Health insurers are able to better contain and, in some instances, reduce healthcare costs. They are able to provide physicians with instant access to drug formularies, treatment guidelines and recommended test groups. These services are all code-linked and instantly available during the patient encounter. Improved information flow between insurers and physicians not only underpins this important relationship but also helps manage the universal problem of rising health costs.

Medical Publishers
Physicians worldwide are struggling to keep up with the sheer volume of healthcare information available. Simultaneously, content publishers battle with how to best access the busy physician. The DXS Point-of-Care™ product provides a seamless information distribution channel direct to the physician's desk. Whether international or local, multilingual or multi-source, the system allows publishers to provide physicians with user-friendly access to their preferred information sources at the click of a button.

Service Providers
Auxiliary healthcare providers such as specialists, support groups and hospitals are able to link information about their services to codes as well as to specific healthcare providers.

Pharmaceutical Industry
The DXS Point-of-Care™ product provides pharmaceutical companies with a vital channel to the practicing healthcare industry. It provides a direct and highly efficient method of keeping physicians current on drug products and information. Importantly, this information can be highlighted at the point of prescription. Moreover, pharmaceuticals can also choose to participate in sponsoring education for both the physician and patient.

Healthcare Ministries
Governmental efforts to improve universal cost-effective healthcare are gaining strength. The pressure is on to introduce standards and systematic preventative procedures. The ability to reach and inform the physician is key. The DXS Point-of-Care™ product provides an efficient and dependable channel for ministries and other industry bodies to provide physicians with up-to-date regulatory requirements, formularies and treatment guidelines.

EPR & Billing Vendors
The DXS Point-of-Care™ product provides EPR and Billing System vendors with added value to their applications by providing their customers with a fully integrated Clinical Decision Support Solution. EPR and Billing System vendors understand the need for delivering relevant content at the point-of-care to their healthcare professionals. Currently, for many the preferred method is via websites. However, this is not always successful as healthcare professionals are too busy. The ideal solution is a system providing off-line content, which can integrate with the healthcare workers' workflow, and where information can be updated as frequently as required. DXS provides the solution to all these issues. Integration into most EPR and billing systems is very quick and easy. Updates are automatic and fast. The DXS Point-of-Care™ is unobtrusive, thereby enabling it to usefully share the EPR/billing system real estate. This integrated DXS solution provides EPR/billing system vendors with a new solution to adding value to their customers without the hassle of dealing with publishers, managing content or developing additional applications.
