Our Patient Journey Demonstrator moves to Windows Azure and now includes a DICOM medical imaging viewer!
May 2010
The Patient Journey Demonstrator has moved to Windows Azure, Microsoft’s cloud computing platform. As part of this update, we have incorporated a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) viewer in the Secondary Care angiogram scenario. DICOM is a standard for the handling, storage, and transmission of medical imaging information. There are important caveats attached to this viewer, so users are advised to review the caveat information using the “Show Guide” button in the upper-right corner.
Overview
The Microsoft Health Common User Interface Patient Journey Demonstrator
is a vehicle for Microsoft thought leadership in state-of-the-art user experience
for healthcare applications. It provides exemplar implementations of Microsoft Health CUI guidance on a Microsoft platform.
It is our showcase for new ideas, experimentation and an artifact for learning
and thinking about future developments of Microsoft Health CUI. Please note that
the Demonstrator is not exposed to the same level of research and patient safety
testing as published guidance.
Clinical scenario
The Patient Journey Demonstrator conceptualizes an end-to-end journey using a
specific clinical scenario to illustrate how an integrated, patient-centric
care record can transition seamlessly between care settings. It demonstrates how
data can be accessed and entered from many of the care sources experienced along
the patient journey.
In this scenario, a man with suspected heart disease is examined by his family
doctor. Using decision support tools, his doctor decides that the best course
of action is to refer him for further tests. The scenario tracks the activities
that take place from the initial consultation, through secondary care to an Angiogram.
