Unique to the field of medical information systems, Kestral’s Clinical Integration System (CIS) is a practical, real-world application allowing the quick retrieval of medical information from many existing local and remote sources via a user-friendly browser interface.

About CISOffering a high level of security via user-privilege profiles, CIS interfaces directly with various data sources such as Patient Admission/Discharges, PMIs, Pharmacy and other HL7 interfaces.

CIS is designed to provide simple, cost-effective distributed access to information held in multiple data sources with just a networked computer and a browser.

Most organisations already have all of the necessary infrastructure in place to take advantage of CIS.

Easy SetupSetting up CIS taskes no time at all, since it utilises the existing web browser and domain login for each user. All that needs to be configured is the server.

Mouse-driven and easy to use, CIS is customisable-to suit the needs of individuals. What’s more, since it’s browser-based, there is no need to install any software on the user’s machine.
