Test the workflows your facility depends on
Atlas proposes a parallel digital twin for evaluating Health Information Exchange as a Service (HIEaaS) and Electronic Health Records as a Service (EHRaaS) alongside the hospital’s existing systems. The hospital sets the workflows, data handling rules, and acceptance thresholds before testing. Parallel evaluation is designed to reduce migration risk by surfacing gaps before a cutover decision.
- Acute care: Retrieve charts, place lab orders, and confirm results during a network or application interruption.
- Trauma centers: Retrieve critical patient context and exchange transfer records when a dependency is isolated.
- Specialty hospitals: Preserve access to treatment history and reconcile queued records after connectivity returns.
Measure clinical continuity
The proposed Continuity Stress Framework defines scenarios and records what clinicians can still do during disruption. The Continuity Stress Index summarizes performance against hospital-defined targets for workflow completion, interruption duration, recovery time, data freshness, and reconciliation errors.
Weekly executive reviews track decisions and unresolved issues. Quarterly department reviews compare results with the baseline, identify gaps, and agree on what to retest or change before transition.
Proposed 12-month sequence
- Months 1–3: Implement the parallel environment, establish baselines, and resolve setup issues.
- Months 4–9: Exercise disruption and recovery scenarios, collect evidence, and retest gaps.
- Months 10–12: Train staff, review the evidence, and decide whether to expand, address remaining gaps, or wind down. Any cutover requires hospital approval and agreed acceptance criteria.
This is a proposed evaluation. If the pilot ends without a master services agreement, Atlas will destroy its copy of hospital data under the agreed data handling policy.
