JAKARTA InterSystems, a US data technology provider, held a conference focused on health services. The conference with the title InterSystems Asia Healthcare Summit started on Wednesday, August 21. During the conference, InterSystems discussed the importance of data-based health services. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) data and technology, health service providers can provide the best care to the public. One of the technologies that InterSystems introduces is IRIS, which is a cloud-first data platform to build high-performance applications. Luciano Brustia, Regional Managing Director of Asia Pacific Intersystems, said that this technology has been widely used in Indonesia. "The more and more health service companies in Indonesia that also use our InterSystems IRIS for Health data platform to take advantage of their data potential, which results in better decision making," said Luciano at the opening. InterSystems IRIS for Health provided two main products, one of which is the Trackcare. This service is a medical information system that utilizes medical records from hospitals (RS). So far, Trackcare has been widely used in several hospitals. "Many of the best private hospitals in Indonesia rely on the electronic record system Tracecare to provide care, improve world-class efficiency, and services," Luciano said. "We remain dedicated to supporting digital transformation of health services in Asia." Another important service discussed at the InterSystems conference is Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). This technology is considered a global standard in establishing data formats and API to facilitate medical information exchange. Russell Leftwich, Senior Clinical Advisor InterSysystems, explains that FHIR has elements referred to as resourcess. This element will contain important data covering patients, types of treatment received patients, and their diagnosis conditions.

"Each of these resources can be calculated and is within all the data elements needed to be displayed in health services. They are the rules or data in those resources," Russell explained in his session. The available data is also more complete. FHIR can show who gave a diagnosis, when the diagnosis was made, where the diagnosis was made, and other information. Russell said that all of these data can be changed and understood by the system. In addition to discussing IRIS and FHIR, InterSystems also introduced the latest AI capabilities presented to the system from Trakcare, namely the electronic medical record system (EMR). This innovation is considered a major breakthrough for hospitals in Indonesia.
