Cerebrum™ is a proprietary workflow solution developed for healthcare professionals to manage busy multi-diagnostic practices. It is a secure, intuitive and modular software program that can be customized to your clinical needs. It represents the most comprehensive workflow solution available today for Canadian healthcare institutions.

Our workflow solution creates an integrated workspace for healthcare professionals. We have designed the system with you, the healthcare professional in mind. Our goal is to create a universal medical record that controls and manages both patient data and practitioner workflow.

Cerebrum’s major strength is how it drives work queues and work flow processes for clinical activities. Importantly, Cerebrum™ will provide a complete and comprehensive solution for an institution’s immediate needs, while allowing for future growth and scalability, via its flexible architecture.

Through real time monitoring and the expediting of the patient care process, Cerebrum™ will improve the quality of a patient’s care, thus, enhancing their personal experience within the institution. Out of the box, the library of Cerebrum’s tools and modules are already aligned to suit the desired workflow at the institution level, thereby allowing for an easy and rapid transition to an electronic healthcare environment.

Cerebrum™ is designed to drive all aspects of a patient’s experience including the clinical management and administrative control of the workflow associated with the care of that patient. Cerebrum™ was created to achieve two goals, the first being to increase the quality of patient service and the other being to reduce cost through effective business management.

Cerebrum™ workflow includes many capabilities that significantly extend and deepen the integration between the modules. Physicians and front-end staff can schedule and monitor patient follow-ups; office management can track patient demographics and create rules to trigger appropriate actions. Through Cerebrum™, common office activities are automated and coordinated, creating efficiencies, saving time and increasing billings for the entire operations.

“CMD sees approximately 200 patients a day across its three clinics. The utilization of the Cerebrum™ has greatly reduced our operational cost and reduced our reporting cycle time, resulting in higher efficiencies and greater revenue retention. Our cardiologists have come to accept and rely on the Cerebrum™ as an industry standard for the office and patient management solution. Indeed our business has benefited from higher efficiency through use of this model and our physicians and patients have benefited from being able to provide prompt and accurate patient care.”

Dr David Neumann, CardioMatters Diagnostics Inc, Toronto, ON

We have evaluated the Cerebrum™ system for implementation in a number of settings including the cardiology and anticoagulation clinics. I believe the utilization of the Cerebrum™ will result in higher efficiency and time and cost savings.
