EMIS thinks big with Primary Care Interoperability Village

Leading GP software supplier EMIS is thinking big at HC2007 – Europe’s largest health informatics conference, which takes place in Harrogate this month.

The EMIS Primary Care Interoperability Village (A40) is the biggest stand at the show, and will feature a replica GP surgery linked to a typical patient’s home. Inside will be a showcase of the best state of the art primary care IT technology from EMIS and over 20 other healthcare IT companies.

In this special sponsored feature, EMIS sets out what it’s trying to achieve at HC2007 and what products and services will be on display. And why interoperability is central to it all…

	EMIS creates replica ‘surgery of the future’ for HC2007 The EMIS stand promises to be unmissable at this year’s exhibition. Find out why the ‘surgery of the future’ – all 160m² of it – is likely to be the first port of call for visitors and could well turn into the talking point of HC2007.

	Tomorrow’s technology today From instant online access to patients’ records to health message texting and the latest hardware and laptop technology – the EMIS stand has a range of technology from 22 companies, creating a new breed of services that will transform the lives of doctors and their patients.

	Interoperability at the heart of our solutions No single company can do everything, which is why EMIS works so hard to ensure that the products it makes works with the ones that it doesn’t, as EMIS Healthcare Managing Director Sean Riddell explains.

	Unique collaboration for GP record access Ultimately it doesn’t matter to the GP that three companies were involved – but without the expert collaboration of EMIS, PAERS and Pearl Medical, mobile online access to patients’ records could not have happened.
