Getting to know Enterprise Content Services

The Connect Care clinical information system (CIS) will improve continuity of care by promoting "One Person, One Record, One System". This does not mean that the CIS databases contain anything and everything that could be important to a patient or population.

The CIS interoperates with an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system, which can capture, manage, store, preserve, link and deliver a wide range of information objects that might relate to a patient's chart, but not constitute core content. ECM tools and processes allow for unstructured information to be managed wherever that information exists, while still preserving meaningful links to the health record.

Enterprise Content Services (ECS) enable users to digitize, store, manage and retrieve documents and images in association with Connect Care workflows. Connect Care ECM systems deploy as Connect Care deploys. Accordingly we'll be hearing more about ECM as workflow testing, validation, training and readiness activities ramp up.
