The module, called Consistency of Care, is open architecture
software that supports the growing need for interoperability and
information sharing between dentistry and medicine. It was
developed by Exan Software, a Henry Schein One company and the
creator of the axiUm dental management software suite, which is a
leading software product among dental and dental hygiene schools
and large group practices.
Recognizing the desire to ensure that medical and dental patient
health records are accessible to all health care providers, the
Consistency of Care solution within axiUm allows dental schools to
communicate patient health records to their medical counterparts,
regardless of a medical school’s software. This integration
provides faculty and students with a holistic view of a patient's
health, ensuring best practice principles and the highest patient
care standards.
By connecting axiUm's dental electronic health record (EHR) to a
medical EHR through the Consistency of Care module, schools can
consolidate patient record benefits without compromising academic
dental software. Synchronization of patient data through an
Application Programming Interface (API) ensures that patient
information, medical conditions, and allergies are accurate,
providing health care professionals with a single view of their
patient's health records. By integrating dental software with EHRs,
a higher standard of patient care can be achieved while delivering
an improved patient experience and maintaining consistency of care
— supporting better outcomes for patients.
"Our goal at Henry Schein One is to provide innovative practice
solutions to dental professionals, so they can focus on providing
the best patient care possible,” said Mike Baird, Chief Executive
Officer, Henry Schein One. “We’re excited to bring the Consistency
of Care module to market, as the benefits of integrated dental and
medical care are clear, with improved patient outcomes and
increased efficiency."
Penn Dental Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania is the
first dental school to implement axiUm's Consistency of Care
integration solution, communicating its dental patients' EHR data
to its medical school.
"Several years ago, we looked at an electronic medical record
that included a small dental component," said Dr. Mark Wolff, Dean
at Penn Dental Medicine. "However, we concluded that it was not
worth the extra effort required to make the system work. We needed
to come up with a solution that would save us time and satisfy
industry interoperability standards, with the least amount of time
and resources for the faculty and students to switch. axiUm's
Consistency of Care solution allows us to keep using axiUm while
maintaining interoperability between the two EHRs."
axiUm software manages the technical aspect of a student’s
dental education – from a student’s first year to graduation. A
dental-first design built specifically for the dental market, axiUm
offers features that support the ever-changing academic landscape,
from dental school grant funding applications and financial
tracking to student supervision in clinics, mitigating risks
associated with student practitioners, and the preparation for
accreditation.
"The use of axiUm is important to us because the ability to
manage grades, individual student performances, dental laboratory
case tracking, and patient billing are daily requirements at Penn
Dental Medicine,” said Dean Wolff. “Larger medical EHRs do not
manage student grades or performances, and they have issues with
billing for dental procedures. Keeping our current dental EHR and
integrating with medical gives us additional flexibility in
managing Penn Dental Medicine."
The Consistency of Care module, powered by Redox, integrates
directly into Epic software, a clinical solution used by medical
professionals to support functions related to patient care. Penn
Medicine utilizes Epic to manage their patients’ EHRs, while Penn
Dental Medicine utilizes axiUm. Redox helps to standardize health
care data from any source, providing a single API for exchanging
health care data with axiUm.
"We have built a trusted reputation for practical and robust
software, and we are committed to assisting dental professionals,
large dental practices, hospitals, and educational institutions
worldwide with increasing efficiency," said Rachel Nelson,
President of Exan Software. "With our new Consistency of Care
integration solutions, axiUm can continue to support dental
education at academic institutions like Penn Dental Medicine, while
communicating all pertinent patient health care information to the
university's School of Medicine. This commitment is backed by
Exan's proven track record of superior customer support,
implementation, and consulting services."
