SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--XIFIN, Inc. today unveiled VisualStrata, the only precision medicine informatics platform that curates and visualizes diagnostic, clinical and financial data to document the patient journey through diagnosis, treatment and outcomes. By uniquely collating structured and unstructured data from disparate systems into a single source, healthcare professionals gain deeper insights into optimal disease treatments and drive personalized care decisions. VisualStrata also supports strategic organizational objectives such as clinical improvement initiatives, efficiency programs, physician engagement and population health efforts.

Precision medicine (PM) programs have the potential to decrease adverse events and provide better outcomes at a lower cost by tailoring therapies based on individual patient characteristics. A major challenge to the efficient delivery of PM is that patient data often resides in multiple data systems. This problem will only increase as more and more data becomes available, which is estimated to be growing at a rate of 48% per year.1 To optimize patient care, healthcare providers must consider all relevant patient data, which can be particularly problematic in oncology due to the complexity of the disease and the number of medical specialties often required for diagnosis, staging and treatment planning. Yet, according to a recent survey, 65% of physicians said they did not have all the healthcare information they need about their patients.2 Therefore, having access to enabling technologies that include sophisticated analytics and visualization capabilities is a critical success factor today. Developed to help meet this need, cloud-native VisualStrata helps care teams optimize patient care, support physician collaboration as well as develop healthcare quality reports and conduct research.

“We have been leveraging the data collection, documentation and peer-to-peer collaboration capabilities of XIFIN’s VisualStrata platform for some time,” said Lori D. Frasier, MD, chief of division of child abuse pediatrics at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. “The system’s ability to manage complex data sets and build a quality data repository has the potential to significantly improve patient care, particularly useful in oncology, given the number of medical specialties involved.”
Built for the healthcare industry by bioinformaticists and leveraging XIFIN’s 20 years’ expertise in working with healthcare big data, VisualStrata seamlessly integrates with most electronic medical record systems (EMRs) and electronic health record systems (EHRs). It also integrates with XIFIN’s RPM 10 and LIS 5 solutions, as well as other products that collect patient clinical, diagnostic and financial data.
