Stalis Launches flare as the foundation for Best of Breed EPR

Stalis flare is the robust, proven and lowest risk solution to provide NHS Trusts with the architecture, tools, technology and applications to create their own EPR / EHR in progressive steps. Building on the Trust’s current investment in information systems, flare allows the gradual replacement of these when needs and funding permit, to take advantage of the latest developments and best value for money solutions

The safe, cost effective and evolutionary growth of an EPR is made possible by the flare architecture and base applications comprising:

Stalis’ CareXML Integrated Patient Record Clinical Repository, complete with an Patient data management browser.

Silverlink’s Patient Administration System – the most NHS compliant and function rich product available today.

ExtraMed’s Patient Flow system offering an advanced and intuitive, clinician led workflow system for Trust-wide real-time patient tracking, facilitating patient safety and reducing length of stay.

CSAM's Clinical Portal offering Trusts the ability to deploy in one unified user platform a solution to present clinicians with a single view across all patient data and provide a uniform means to place orders / requests and receive results.

The advantage for Trusts deciding on a flare Best of Breed approach to EPR is in the flexibility and the opportunity to choose which steps they will take, in their own time; based on need, budget and resource availability. flare delivers a robust solution at the lowest possible risk. It allows Trusts to replace aging operational and information infrastructure with the most function rich and compliant products on the market today; CareXML, Silverlink PAS, ExtraMed Patient Flow System and CSAM Clinical Portal. The flare approach maximises the investments Trusts have already made in departmental systems and enables the seamless Integration of these into a robust platform for the future.

The stalis flare platform creates the first major step to fulfilling a Trust’s need to upgrade their PAS capability to fully meet NHS requirements. It provides a single repository of data to support all patient clinical engagement and allows for wide scale use by clinical staff as the first major step to an EPR.

Existing legacy systems, especially Laboratory, Radiology and those of other key clinical departments can be integrated with flare either through the Trust’s existing Order Communications / Results Reporting software or through the flare Clinical Portal. This Portal offers the Trust the ability to deploy in one unified single user platform a solution to present clinicians with a single view across all patient data.

Once implemented, flare PAS, Patient Flow and Clinical Portal supports the development of care pathways and guidelines. flare can work with Map of Medicine or the more active decision support tools such as Arezzo.

The stalis flare solution offers the Trust the ability to select, in a close partnership with Stalis further departmental and mission critical systems to develop their own EPR. A prime example of this could be ePrescribing for which Stalis flare can perform with either the JAC or Ascribe products and be integrated with the clinical portal.

CareXML's Integrated Patient Record is designed to store medical images and documents against patient records so that these can be viewed either through the CareXML patient browser for patient record management purposes and through the Clinical Portal for clinicians to inspect and gain a comprehensive view of the full patient episode, tests and results.

Stalis flare offers the Trust’s IT team, clinicians and operational managers the opportunity to develop an affordable EPR solution ideally suited to the particular needs of their own organisation and thus ensure a solution fit for purpose in a timescale to suit Trust resources and clinical needs. Further, with increasing pressure on the need to share patient data in a single form across multiple care settings in a locality, Stalis flare offers the Trust a unique means to accomplish this and so create an EPR to support clinical engagement across all NHS services.
