Health Information Systems (UK) Ltd (HISL) was formed in 2004 as a spin-out from the world famous teaching hospitals of Guys' & St. Thomas' in London, where the team had developed the VECTOR family of chronic disease management/long term care electronic patient record systems (EPR). Since then VECTOR has been further developed into new disease areas, and now offers a multi-disease, clinically in-depth platform component of an electronic patient record.
Multi Disease EPR Platform
VECTOR offers the in-depth clinical functionality not found in more general hospital systems such as PAS/HIS, but with the ability to share data with these systems to give a comprehensive electronic patient record. In the past, this in-depth functionality has only been available via specialist departmental systems covering a specific disease area, but, with VECTOR, is now available across many disease areas, sharing the same clinical database, and interacting with other healthcare systems in a seamless manner. VECTOR is the multi-disease clinical component of a comprehensive electronic patient record approach.
Benefits of the Vector approach include:
- Shared data across multiple care teams
- Reduction in dublication of data, effort and time (operational costs)
- Improved patient experience
- Less IT overheads
- Reduced clinical team frustration
- Increased operational efficiency
