Platform Overview

HIMS™ was designed according to the following stringent goals:

• Must be completely integrated by design. A single system must be produced, not merely a system that "looks" like a single system. This ensures:
  • All operations are performed in real-time
  • All data is stored once (no duplicated data)
  • High quality data for both clinical and financial users
  • System is easier to implement and maintain than non-integrated systems
• Must cover all clinical and back office functionality comprehensively in a single system
• Must deliver high performance levels to the users
• Must deliver all data in real-time. There can be no batch feeds to update various parts of the system on off-peak hours
• Must run the entire hospital in a single database. This lowers the maintenance of the IS department, as there is only one data source to backup. This also greatly enhances the ability to make the system truly fault tolerant and operate at a rating of 99.999% availability. The single database system also enables the real time updating and availability of information across the system as it is written
• Must have a common UI (User Interface) across all applications
• Log everything that occurs and allow users to view reports about those data points
• Cost effective. It must be the most cost effective way to run a facility.
• Must run on common hardware. HIMS™ runs on desktop PCs and Intel based servers/storage running Microsoft operating systems and database engines
• Must be able to handle ANY binary data. The world is becoming a more "digital" workplace daily, and software must be able to work with and attach any form of digital data, regardless of size or format. HIMS™ can import and display virtually any binary data and attach this data to patient records.

Comlogik Business Systems provides a Complete Hospital Information System based upon a solid, modern architecture and cost effective hardware.

HIMS™ was designed according to the following stringent goals:

Scalable - The system can easily be scaled to meet present and future needs.

Highly Available and Redundant - At the client tier level, there are other machines that are necessary to perform the daily operation of the hospital. If one machine fails, the others can take over the workload of the failed unit.

Load Balanced - HIMS™ randomly allocates the clients to different workstations to spread the load evenly. This prevents one workstation from becoming a bottleneck.

Flexible - Business logic components can be upgraded easily and efficiently in one central location.

High performance - The software development process employed by Comlogik Business Systems, Inc. includes an unusually high level of performance tuning. This helps to achieve staggering transactional volumes on relatively modest hardware. The software development environment used by our programmers includes several powerful analysis tools. These tools can be used to monitor transactions at test site or even in production if necessary. It is not necessary to schedule batch jobs for intense tasks to run off-peak, even giant tasks such as calculating AR aging or doing a full payroll run can be executed during the working day.

Database Server Architecture

HIMS™ is designed specifically to keep all records online indefinitely. This strategy allows reports to be created using historical data. Any database housekeeping tasks are performed online, without any downtime and with negligible system impact. No records are ever purged, deleted or moved offline for any reason. Patient data remains available online for the lifespan of the system.

Availability Two main database server configurations provide different levels of reliability and overall system uptime. The Single or Clustered Database Server configurations both use database servers to access the single Fibre Channel (F.C.) Storage unit.

Clustered Database Configuration Using a clustered database server configuration ensures HIMS™ commitment to high availability. The cluster comprises two servers connected simultaneously to the Fibre Channel Disk system. If one of the servers should fail, the other server takes control of the disk system, returns it to a known safe state and continues processing as normal. A slight delay is seen as the server change takes place.

Single Server Configuration The single database server configuration works on the same principle, but does not have the redundancy advantages provided by the cluster configuration. In the event of server failure, the system will cease to function until the failure can be fixed.

Comlogik Business Systems, Inc. strongly recommends RAID 10 (also known as RAID 1+0 or RAID 0+1) as that reduces the load on a system with heavy updates such as HIMS™. Disk speed is an important factor when designing a database server. Currently, 10,000-RPM disks are the standard, though 15,000-rpm disks are now available, though only in smaller capacities.

In the healthcare industry where daily operations depend heavily on network and computer systems, reliability (also known as availability) is a major concern. Hospitals demand stable, easily maintained systems 24 hours a day, seven days a week. SQL Server excels in this area, offering the high levels of uptime usually associated with the larger mainframes that used to be considered the only viable choice where network downtime is unacceptable. The maxim 'invest in data, not in hardware' is a philosophy that underlies Comlogik Business Systems, Inc. entire HIMS™ system. Choosing SQL Server as the cornerstone of our product was an easy decision. No other RDBMS (Relational Database Management Support) offers the features and reliability at such a reasonable price. The future releases of SQL Server promise to build upon the strong foundations the latest version has laid. Continuous performance improvements and new scalability options will take the Enterprise leader to even higher levels of excellence. HIMS™ is designed exclusively for the Microsoft© SQL Server© 2000 RDBMS.

RDBMS Growth Rate

SQL Server is the fastest growing relational database with 45 percent revenue growth—over three times faster than the overall relational database market.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Three independent studies have found that SQL Server has a lower cost of ownership than Oracle. Total Cost of Ownership is reduced by a number of factors: Its CPU based licensing strategy, the ready availability of Microsoft trained technicians as well as the absence of annual maintenance fees – once an enterprise has purchased SQL server, no further fees are payable.

Performance and Scalability SQL Server 2000© running on Microsoft© Windows® 2000 achieved the highest performance ever for the TPC-C benchmark, with 709,220 transactions per minute, type "C" (tpmC) and price/performance of $14.96 per tpmC. SQL Server 2000 dominates TPC-C performance, claiming the top two spots in the new Version 5.0 results.

The following provide examples of Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000’s reliability and scalability:

Verizon stores and manages over 9 terabytes of data on SQL Server 2000, with 2.2 terabytes in one database alone

SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2000 provides the best performance on the SAP R/3 Sales and Distribution Standard Benchmark on any platform, supporting 26,000 concurrent sales and distribution users—34 percent more than Sun/Oracle.

The Onyx benchmark running SQL Server 2000 supported 32,000 concurrent users with sub second response times

Ticketmaster.com supports over 200,000 concurrent users during peak use with its SQL Server 2000 system.

Reliability An independent study by Aberdeen Group found that nine early-adopter sites had a combined 99.95 percent uptime on Windows 2000. Aberdeen found this result particularly outstanding, considering that most accounts still needed to fully optimise Windows 2000, upgrade to the final release, and build expertise in the product.

Unisys guarantees 99.99 percent availability on PeopleSoft/SQL Server.

Credit Suisse First Boston achieved 99.993 percent uptime for their Risk Management solution.

BarnesandNoble.com maintained 99.98 percent availability even when sales surged to 500,000 books in two days.

Dell.com experienced 99.9985 percent availability in the past 12 months, selling over $35 million dollars worth of computers per day.

Commerce One uses SQL Server to achieve 99.99 percent availability and supports over 70 business-to-business exchanges for customers such as Boeing, British Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, PACCAR TruckExchange, Columbia Healthcare, and Warner Lambert

Buy.com, the fourth largest e-tailer, achieved 99.98 percent uptime.

DLT tape backup units provide cost effective storage for large volumes of data, but they are not fast enough to provide an acceptable backup and recovery strategy. The time taken to restore a large database is already widely recognized as the ‘weak link’ in the disaster recovery plans of many organizations. Consequently, Comlogik Business Systems recommends using software to perform real time data replication to another remote online backup server.

Real-time data replication to geographically distinct online RAID storage arrays means that in the event of a total failure, the system can be brought back on line within minutes as opposed to hours of a failure. Current Fibre Channel technologies allow additional clusters to be located a number of kilometers away from the main site without any degradation in performance. Similarly, in areas where the appropriate infrastructure is both available and dependable, wide area networks or other high bandwidth network solutions can be used thereby increasing the geographical separation between the production and backup centers and increasing the data security.

For additional security, the secondary or backup server can itself be written in a cd or separate hard drive which can then be stored offsite providing yet another level of data protection.

Similarly for small or medium hospitals, backup server can be located near the main site as long as this will not be affected when fire or other calamities strikes.

The selection of appropriate hardware is critical for any installation of a system the size of HIMS™. At Comlogik Business Systems, Inc., experience has shown that a number of common-sense practices can ensure that the hardware you choose is right for your hospital and location. When selecting hardware, consider more than just the initial purchase price of the equipment. All hardware selected should be:

Manageable - If all of the devices report to one central administrator console, problems can be discovered as they occur. Proactive maintenance is far better than waiting for a service call.

High Performance - Seemingly similar products can often vary significantly in their ability to perform quickly and efficiently. Careful hardware selection means a much longer product lifespan and therefore considerable cost savings.

Accompanied by Strong Technical Support - Knowledgeable technical support can make the difference between a successful rollout and mediocre one. Web based and telephone support is essential.

Up-to-date - For example, if a server manufacturer can release his GHz processor machine to market 3 weeks before the competitors, he stands in a very strong position.

Readily Available - Do not buy hardware that is hard to obtain in your current location. Ask the vendor if they have in-country stock. Waiting for an international shipment is not an option.

Consistency When planning the installation of a piece of software the size of HIMS™, it is best to standardize by using the fewest different types of equipment possible. Consistency is king - instead of buying 3 different sizes of label printer to suit different labeling needs, one brand and one model mean that the customer need only sign one support contract and troubleshoot, maintain, update and repair one kind of machine. This also enables departmental staff to become 'experts' in one machine rather than knowing a little about many.

Purchasing Considerations Buy commonly available, commodity products only. Specialized equipment is generally unnecessary. In addition, keep a supply of the commodity products on site - even if you sign a support contract, vendors usually promise 4-hour response time. With spares on site, hardware can easily be replaced with a minimum of downtime and interrupted operations.

Client PCs When buying Client PCs for your user's desktops, ensure that the vendor will replace any machines that fail within one business day. CPU speed is often a major selling point for desktop machines, but there is really no need to buy the fastest possible chip if it is going to be used as a HIMS™ terminal. The Intel Celeron is excellent in terms of price/performance. As for system requirements, ensure that each machine has at least 2 USB ports and a minimum of 256 MB of memory. RAMBUS and DDR memory are the new options for the faster desktop PCs.

File Server When buying a File Server, it is common for people to fall into the trap of selecting a server class machine with a powerful CPU. For example, a dual Pentium III is often sold as a minimum specification. This is not necessarily, what you need - retrieving files is not CPU intensive. File servers generally follow the 80-20 rule. 80 % read operations, 20 % write operations. For this reason, a single processor machine is more than adequate for the needs of most hospitals, especially with the increasing capabilities CPUs available on the market today. Another important thing to remember when purchasing a file server in today's market is the advancements in the operating systems that run them - Windows 2000 actually reduces the CPU's load even further, promising greater performance on all machines.

Database Server When buying a Database server, there are a number of features that can significantly increase the availability.

24 Hour support from the hardware vendor with a 4-hour call out 365 days a year.

Adaptive Load Balancing / Fault Tolerant Network Interface Cards. Intel currently makes the best Fast Ethernet and Gigabit NICs in the world.

RAID 1+0 disks

Hot swappable parts. (E.g. hard disks, power supplies, NICs)

UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply)

Disk speed is an important factor when designing a database server. Currently, 10,000-RPM disks are the maximum available and highly recommended. In the near future, 15K rpm disks will be the new high-end speed.

Fibre Channel is a technology used to connect hard disks to servers. All of the hard disks are dual-ported and are connected using an Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) this provides redundancy and higher throughput.

HIMS™ security is addressed in two distinct ways: through the use of native Windows 2008 security features and through HIMS™ application security.

Windows 2008 Security

HIMS™ uses the Windows 2008 advanced security features. These features include the following:

Login Security - All HIMS™ applications natively use Windows 2003/2008 authentication. This is based upon Kerberos 5, an open standard security system. Kerberos 5 is highly secure and was designed by Berkeley. It handles the logon of the users and the permissions they have to files over the network. For those users that share a workstation, HIMS™ applications can log on as individual users, all sharing a single desktop. By implementing tight integration with Windows 2003/2008 security mechanisms, HIMS™ automatically inherits Windows 2008's security features and benefits.

Network Security - HIMS™ inherits the rich network security features built into the Windows 2008 environment. Features such as IPSec and various encryption and VPN options are available.

Data Encryption - All data passed to the clients is encrypted. The encryption mechanism is configurable but currently RC4 (128 bit) is used with 3DES (168 bit) as an option.

Caching - Data is rarely cached on clients. Where there is caching it is only for temporary data retrieval. Such data is always deleted.

Active Directory Integration - No employee passwords are stored or displayed anywhere in HIMS™. The login mechanism is based entirely on Active Directory. Client applications are protected at the process level. Multiple users can sign on to a single workstation each with a different process running as the relevant user. If users wish to temporarily leave their applications open they can lock their processes.

Database Access - The database server has only one user account - the system administrator. Users cannot connect to the database using their Active Directory login.

HIMS™ Application Security HIMS™ allows full or partial access to all patient data, depending on the login rights of the user at the application software. The concept is based on “roles” and allows granular patient-physician associations to ensure the appropriate access to the interested parties. The HIMS™ system security and user access is managed using the HIMS™ Security Administration function. It has the flexibility to control access through a number of groupings and the ability to define Read-Write or Read-Only authorization on a user group or individual user basis.

User Groups are central to HIMS™ security. User Groups allow the control of access to many areas of HIMS™ and dictate the type of access rights and privileges a user is granted. User Groups allow access to be given to specific functions within a module, access to information from specific departments define the rights and privileges of specific job types and control the types of information a user is able to read, create or print or edit.

HIMS™ Audit Security In addition to the Security provided by the security module in HIMS™, the system logs all access to all parts of the patient data. Comlogik Business Systems is a firm believer in the “log everything” approach; this is a fundamental attribute of our entire system design. The comprehensive logging of user transactions in both the front and back office fosters a high level of accountability throughout the organization.

The Hospital Information & Management System (HIMS™) is a fully-integrated, information system created and implemented by Comlogik Business Systems, Inc. HIMS™ is built exclusively for healthcare and based on a client-server network design concept. HIMS™ allows for scalability, the central management of business rules and reduced maintenance and overheads.

All HIMS™ data is stored in a single database providing real time data across applications throughout the hospital. Because all data is stored centrally, it can be viewed simultaneously from multiple terminals giving departments access to timely, up-to-date patient information. The use of PC based servers and workstations in combination with advanced hard disks provides mainframe class reliability at a cost that allows most hospitals to replicate their data center, thereby ensuring foolproof data security without user intervention to archive data or perform time consuming backups archiving or time consuming data back-ups.

Functionality At the core of HIMS™ is the Electronic Medical Record (EMR), made possible by the single integrated database design. The EMR integrates all records of the patient, allowing the instantaneous retrieval of electronically generated material from any terminal in the HIMS™ system. HIMS™ front office strengths include its Radiology, Laboratory, and Pharmacy, RADT (Registration Admission, Discharge and Transfer).

The HIMS™ back office is a comprehensive product suite comprised of all the applications necessary to administer a hospital. From a full-featured accounting system including General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Fixed Asset Maintenance modules, to Purchasing and Inventory modules that handle all materials management. the HIMS™ system provides fully integrated back office functionality in addition to a full Human Resources Management and Payroll system.

Optimized Workflow In addition to streamlined computer architecture, innovative designs are built into HIMS™ software to optimise hospital workflows. Using Windows© advanced peripheral support features, the HIMS™ software suite takes advantage of the most current technologies. These simplify the use of the system by minimising the amount of user effort required to complete frequently performed operations like the entry of patient identification numbers, specimen accession numbers and general patient information. Device support for security technologies like the smart cards or fingerscanning devices securely identifies users, while support for webcams to acquire patient photos ensures positive identification and virtually eliminates insurance fraud.

Usability & Training Another advantage of HIMS™ is that it is extremely user friendly. Developed on Microsoft’s© Windows Platform, HIMS™ capitalizes on the familiarity of the mouse-driven point and click Windows graphical user interface (GUI). The HIMS™ GUI is designed specifically to lower the employee learning curve and minimise user-training costs. By implementing strict design rules through all application interfaces and creating a set of controls and functions that are common to the entire system, users familiar in the use of one set of HIMS™ applications can be easily reassigned to other departments with minimal retraining.

Designed to Grow as You Grow The functions available throughout the HIMS™ are created to address the organisational demands of large or growing hospitals. The fully integrated HIMS™ modules provide configurable solutions that cover the full healthcare and financial services spectrum. System parameters are defined in consultation with the client hospital to determine optimal business workflows. Multiple business scenarios in all modules allow users to create flows that suit current and future business needs.

Overall, HIMS™ is a powerful yet flexible system that can streamline both medical and business processes. Designed using cutting-edge technologies and implementing the most up-to-date hardware available, HIMS™ can meet all of your hospital's current and future needs.
