Ohio-Based Kaiser Permanente Facilities Upgrade OB-Windows Structured Reporting System


HOUSTON - Kaiser Permanente in Ohio upgraded the OB-Windows Structured Reporting System at four local facilities in Cleveland Heights and Parma. The update creates a single shared database for their OB ultrasound and GYN patient studies across all four facilities. The Digisonics OB-Windows system provides Kaiser Permanente's clinicians with access to comprehensive fetal growth analysis and structured reporting for OB/GYN.

Additional OBLink interfaces and HL7 interfaces streamline connectivity between Digisonics, the ultrasound machines, and KP's EMR system, EPIC, creating an efficient electronic workflow. OBLinks facilitate autopopulation of patient biometry from Siemens Acuson and Zonare ultrasound machines directly to the OB-Windows Structured Reporting System, reducing manual entry time and preventing costly human input errors. HL7 interfaces connect the Digisonics system and EPIC EMR for Orders In and Results Out. DigiLink, an add-on to the HL7 Results Out interface, enables users to view the finalized report directly in EPIC by embedding a URL to a PDF copy of the Digisonics report, preserving them in the original structured format for easy review.
