IllumiCare Smart Ribbons are non-intrusive ribbons of information that hover over a hospital's electronic medical record, without EMR integration, and give providers real-time, patient-specific and cost and patient risk data about the patient concurrently being viewed in the electronic medical record.Smart Ribbons…•. Give clinicians real-time, patient-specific and novel cost and patient risk data at the point of care – where it is most needed and influential. The main areas addressed are medications, labs, radiology and observational status.• Are EMR-agnostic; they can be used by any hospital.• Utilize existing HL7 feeds to gather clinical data, but also include other clinical and financial data from third-party sources; they are EMR-enhancing.•. Piggyback on existing authentication and permission infrastructure.• Produce measurable, hard dollar reductions in the cost of medications, labs, and radiological procedures and can correlate those improvements with usage.• Are a powerful tool for physician alliances and ACOs to drive cost savings. Smart Ribbons …• Are not a traditional clinical decision-support system, which force the physician to play "20 questions" with a computer. • Are not just a reformatting of data in the EMR. • Do not inhibit the clinical workflow. If ignored, a ribbon automatically minimizes after 5 seconds.•. Are not proscriptive – there is not an onslaught of alarms or alerts that have to be addressed.Smart RibbonsTM empower clinicians to provide clinically and financially efficient care and provides hospitals measurable, hard dollar reductions in lab, medication, radiology and observational expenses.
