Eclair in New Zealand - top 6 facts

Trusted by clinicians throughout New Zealand, Eclair has a proven track record in enabling the storing and sharing of key patient data. Eclair also leads the way with effective solutions for electronic lab and rad ordering, and patient-centric result signoff workflows. 

Next week (18-22 November), is New Zealand's Digital Health Week 2019 - the Sysmex team are keen to learn more about your future digital health needs and share how an Eclair solution can help. Here's six key facts about Eclair to get you thinking:

1.    90% of the New Zealand population have their lab results in an Eclair Clinical Data Repository (CDR). That’s a truly valuable source of information for use in: patient diagnosis decisions and patient care; clinical research'; data analysis and population health studies.

2.      Beyond the lab...the patient record in the Eclair CDR will have: numerical lab results, genetics and histopathology reports, point of care testing data, radiology and cardiology reports, prescribed medications, dispensed blood products, admission details, encounters and demographics, respiratory reports, clinical documents, growth data, nutrition assessments, surgery priory assessments, discharge summaries, community care notes… the list goes on. If the data isn’t in Eclair yet, we can add it.

3.       Expert eOrders/ CPOE. A decade on since Sysmex first moved lab and radiology requests from paper to electronic, the workflow for Lab and Radiology eOrders is advanced, and the software feature rich, benefiting many hospitals and laboratories throughout the country. eBloods is a new module designed to help reduce waste of blood products.

4.      Improving the stats on unviewed results to aid patient care. The media and health quality and safety authorities often profile cases where critical diagnostic results have not been viewed or acknowledged by clinicians sometimes resulting in poorly managed patient outcomes. Eclair has an elegant eSignoff solution, integrated into the daily workflow to close the loop and help clinicians review and follow-up on all labs, radiology reports and other diagnostic reports, ensuring no results are missed to improve patient safety.

5.      Going mobile. All of the above is now mobile or in the pipeline! The Eclair Touch portfolio replicates core Eclair and all new features are developed with a mobile first mindset. Sysmex has a range of new apps that support the clinical workflow and promote patient safety.

 6.  Prioritising interoperability. Eclair seamlessly integrates with other systems such as clinical portals and practice management systems sharing data, workflow and UI. Sysmex are creating FHIR based apis to take provide access to the rich data set in Eclair and take our interoperability capabilities to the next level supporting the digital health strategy for our DHBs and the Ministry of Health.
