Healthcare is becoming more and more complex. There is a great need for tools to simplify and enable those working in the healthcare sector. Today there is more and more information available at the same time as the window for gathering and analysing the information is becoming smaller and smaller. For these reasons we have developed the platform, RealQ® – the support tool for making clinical decisions.

Best Healthcare IT Support 2008

RealQ won the 2008 Healthcare IT Award. This award, which is given out by Computer Sweden and Dagens Medicin, is one of the most prestigious awards one can receive within the field of IT and healthcare in Sweden. In the words of the jury:

“An innovative solution that provides great benefits for the healthcare industry. RealQ facilitates clinical decision making, and serves as a basis for quality registers and research databases. It is believed to have very good potential for use in the future, both nationally and globally.”

Major time savings and quality

Clinical decision support tools create major time savings in everyday work and allow for ongoing quality control. The concept is based on experience from more than 60 projects both in the the healthcare sector and pharmaceutical industry. The decision support system simplifies and strengthens the individual clinician’s decisions by delivering the right information at the moment of decision, which is of critical importance for being able to provide safe care with proven effects.

Evidence based medicine made real

The guiding principle behind RealQ® decision support is “evidence-based medicine made real.”  User support and participation are central to the Health Solution philosophy. The goal of the system is to effectively ensure that the care being provided has a documented effect: evidence-based medicine made real.

Our expertise, along with a customizable product, create maximum flexibility for meeting and fulfilling our customers’ needs.

Expertise

The experts at Health Solutions are developing methods for using trends and statistics as an everyday control tool. RealQ works both for individual clinicians and in aggregate for the operation as whole. Database management, visualization and implementation of computer-supported guidelines are part of a company’s core competence. We know from experience that only when IT support provides an individual with immediate support that data is collected and the report as a whole becomes up-to-date and relevant.

Ensuring effectiveness and results

RealQ® makes it easy to track the effectiveness and results of a treatment. This means going beyond reporting of ordinary production statistics. The patient is offered more than care for the health care guarantee period, and the system goes beyond just controlling the budget.

Tracking towards national measurements

Most of the statistical measurements or quality indicators found in our decision support system can be compared with compliance of national guidelines or healthcare programs. One example is the proportion of patients who reach target values according to set quality indicators.

Currently nine applications

At present, there are applications for follow-up and decision support within infectious diseases (HIV, Hepatitis B and C), cardiovascular medicine, oncology, psychiatry, dementia and endocrinology.

A platform since 2003

RealQ has been a platform since 2003. Since then, Health Care has created a number of applications based on this platform. The platform has undergone continuous development, and our services are currently being created on the platform RealQ v 3.0.
