NICOE Continuity Management Tool
Abstract
The NICoE Continuity Management Tool (NCMT) is a business intelligence tool to perform healthcare modeling and analysis of NICoE activities. Major capabilities defined by the NICoE in Jun 2009 and refined in Jun 2010 prior to the program procurement in Sep 2010, are subsystems that make up the NCMT end-to-end system, and were prioritized in the following order: Continuity Management Subsystem, Scheduling Subsystem, Clinical Subsystem, Research Subsystem, Training and Education Subsystem, Administration Subsystem. Continuity Management Subsystem: Records every interaction with a particular Warrior and his or her Family as one entity to manage initial contact, referral, screening, intake, pre-admission, admission, discharge and follow-up processes. Scheduling Subsystem: Captures, organizes, displays the complex schedules of the NICoE. Used to manage patient appointments, the utilization of facility resources including treatment rooms, modalities, provider staff and support staff. Clinical Subsystem: A clinical application and clinical database that includes the functions that allow the user to store, classify, analyze, retrieve, interpret, present clinical data. Allows the visualization of all of the various components of the patient’s health record: radiology, pathology, lab results, neurological assessments, etc. Research Subsystem: Consists of the research database and the applications that allow the user to store, classify, analyze, retrieve, interpret, present data. Allows NICoE to aggregate data from disparate systems, both within the NICoE and from partner organizations, helping the research move faster, with more agility, and with purpose and direction supported by validated facts. Allows researchers to address many data challenges from a single system and transforms the way they do research. Training and Education Subsystem: Provides the ability to share relevant research, diagnosis, treatment information with authorized users. Administration Subsystem: Provides the ability to manage a portfolio of projects related to continuity of care, clinical operations, research, training and education functions in the NICoE. The NCMT is supported by Three Contracts: Hosting (Provides Hardware, Software, Maintenance), System Integration (Implements NICoE Functional Requirements, Turns NICoE Ideas and Goals into Computer Screens, Templates, Applications – Capabilities) and Decision Support (Acquisition Management, Requirements Definition, Implementation Planning). The NICoE’s missions are to: 1) Explore novel, promising, and futuristic solutions to the complex spectrum of combat brain injury from TBI to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other psychological injuries; 2) Ensure – through continuous outreach and high quality health care – that America embraces those who have served and sacrificed so much on its behalf; and 3) Train the next generation of providers in the most effective approaches to prevention, detection, and treatment options. Currently the established AHLTA specification does not adequately support the specialized care and continuity management integration necessary to support NICoE clinical operations and research. Additionally, AHLTA does not support the data mining and pattern recognition requirements of the NICoE.
