CLIQ and MaRDI

MaRDI

The Medical Record Data Infrastructure (MaRDI) is the technical foundation on which CLIQ and other clinical applications are built. MaRDI is comprised of four primary components:

  1. Clinical Data Repository (CDR)
  2. Master Patient Index
  3. HL7 interface engine with real-time HL7 data interfaces
  4. HIPAA compliant authentication and access control system
The CDR contains patient demographic and visit history data, laboratory test results, pathology, cardiology, EMG and radiology reports, pharmacy prescription data, admission history and physical notes, operative notes, discharge summaries and selected outpatient clinical notes. MaRDI processes more than 50,000 HL7 messages per day, and the CDR houses more than 80,000,000 results and reports.

CLIQ is a Web-based results reporting application and clinical user interface that provides efficient and easy access to information housed in the MaRDI CDR.  CLIQ organizes data in a clinically intuitive, patient-centric format, permitting access to all electronically available results and reports in a single location, independent of the legacy system from which the data originated. Clinicians can access data on CLIQ from any Web-enabled computer from office, hospital or home (with a secure Internet connection). CLIQ is currently deployed at eight State public hospitals:

  1. Medical Center of Louisiana in New Orleans
  2. Bogalusa Medical Center in Bogalusa
  3. Earl K. Long Medical Center in Baton Rouge
  4. Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center in Houma
  5. Lallie A. Kemp Medical Center in Independence
  6. Huey P. Long Medical Center in Alexandria
  7. University Medical Center in Lafayette
  8. W.O. Moss in Lake Charles
and twenty-four community health center locations in the New Orleans metropolitan area. CLIQ and MaRDI represent initial steps toward an electronic medical record and a local health information infrastructure for the State's public hospital system and the surrounding communities it serves.

CLIQ utilization statistics ... CLIQ serves more than one thousand unique users each day.

CLIQ deployment schedule ... CLIQ installation planned for additional hospitals and clinics.
