Stalis Launches Business Continuity Solution for Mission Critical System Migration

To meet the growing demand from Trusts facing the trauma of converting from existing Patient Administration Systems to the Care Record Service, Stalis has extended its highly successful CareXML data management software and services portfolio to include a Local Data Warehouse (LDW) for business continuity and long term management reporting.

In moving to the CRS Trusts have been faced with the  prospect of buying three or even four different solutions to meet all their conversion needs for data  extraction, cleansing and transformation, a historic patient data repository for non transferred patient data and a local data warehouse to support all the critical reporting requirements. This situation has been exacerbated with the introduction of 18WW and the recognition that some of the new systems cannot provide all the CDS data required. Trusts have found with the move to CRS that their business continuity is at risk

The solution

The Stalis CareXML strategy has long been based on the premise that for timely and accurate reporting Trusts must have a robust system that extracts and produces quality data.  The CareXML portfolio already combines an end-to-end solution for data extraction, cleansing, consolidation, migration and transformation coupled with a repository for historic patient data that can be ‘kept alive’ after the move to CRS. Now, with the general release of the LDW Trusts can be assured all their reporting requirements can be met from one fully integrated and proven solution.

Speaking of this development Christine Whitehouse, Stalis Managing Director commented “Stalis has invested over three years of R&D in bringing this new solution to fruition. We now have a single modular solution that allows Trusts to make one investment as part of their move to CRS such that the resources used in migration benefit the Trust across their current and future reporting needs”

Technical Director Peter Gamston added “Our goal was to provide Trusts with a single data management and reporting architecture and thus ensure we offered Trusts both unrivalled value for money as well as the security of business continuity. Our latest addition to the CareXML portfolio allows Trust Information departments to provide a single source solution to all the users, including full dashboard capabilities for Key Performance Indicators to support senior management and clinicians. Our vision is to extend the CareXML LDW so that Trusts can at last undertake accurate and timely patient based costing as the capabilities of CRS are rolled out.

Recently, Fujitsu Business Services announced their choice of the Stalis CareXML LDW as part of the Fujitsu Business Continuity LDW solution for all Trusts in the Southern Cluster. Christine Whitehouse said “this partnership is a milestone in the development of Stalis and CareXML as well as recognition of the excellent Healthcare information solutions that it offers.
