Cisco Medical Data Exchange Solution

Medical Data Exchange

See how disparate systems interoperate to provide a patient-centric view of medical data.

Easily Access and Share Patient Records

The Cisco Medical Data Exchange Solution (MDES) is an integrated end-to-end, standards-based solution that facilitates patient-centric access to medical records.

It gives healthcare professionals from multiple institutions access to patient data from previously disconnected systems with incompatible formats and disparate medical terminology. Now providers can quickly and easily access and review a patient's medical data gathered by different applications and stored in separate locations.

The solution helps address several key healthcare issues such as:

  • Limited access to clinical patient information
  • Increasing costs and inefficiencies of healthcare services
  • Improving quality of patient care and experience
