Description: CyberREN is a renal patient care information management system with features that address the broad range of functionality required by clinics and hospitals engaged in the treatment of all phases of kidney disease. CyberREN is used by health care professionals in all disciplines providing care to chronic kidney disease, renal replacement therapy, and kidney transplantation patients.

CyberREN uses a Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server database to store data. This technology uses Thin Client, tablet, or browser based systems to graphically present information at the point of care (POC). CyberREN communicates with Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) using a Health Level 7 (HL7) feed through Integration Framework (DSIHW).

Information is entered into CyberREN by the dialysis user, then that information is sent back to VistA/Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) to create notes, lab orders, lab results, pharmacy orders, progress notes. Dialysis users are able to see patient information in CyberREN due to HL7 messages communicating the patient`s demographics, labs, meds, problem list, diagnoses, etc. from VistA/CPRS. Patient information is also stored in the CyberREN database, which is always in the VA network, to be used for reporting, etc. Any access to the database containing the medical record is protected at the database authorization security level.
