What is a CIS "Environment"?

It is exciting to get ever more exposure to what the Connect Care clinical information system (CIS) will look like at launch. Along the way, we are called upon to work in a variety of CIS "environments". Each has a specific purpose, and properties suited to that purpose.

Our eHealth Glossary has been updated to include definitions of all the CIS environments that may be encountered by clinical informaticians. Each acronym (e.g., PRD, SBX, PLY, etc.) is defined together with information about the groups who have access, and under what conditions. The following link pulls environment definitions from the glossary:

Connect Care Lingo - Testing

Even as we accelerate remaining Connect Care clinical content development, enough clinical information system (CIS) build has occurred that testing can begin. This will preoccupy us for most of the next year.

To help make sense of expected communications, we'll keep the eHealth glossary updated with new terms and acronyms.
