Integrating Performance and Medical Systems for the MLB

Fusion Sport have recently developed a direct connection between Performance Data Management platform Smartabase and the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system AthleteRMS – the league wide EMR for the MLB.

The new connection will ensure that teams within the MLB using the Smartabase Human Performance Platform, including the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox, will now be able to automate the pull of injury data from their electronic medical records into their performance platform.

Combining injury data with performance data in the one centralized system allows for a deeper analysis of athlete readiness, where staff can use all their available data to inform assessments such as injury risk and load management.

Fusion Sport also have extensive experience in managing medical records and injury risk through Smartabase, integrating and often replacing existing EMR/EHR systems for hundreds of teams across various sports and Olympic teams globally.

Fusion Sport CEO and Co-Founder Dr Markus Deutsch says that Smartabase has the required security and configurability to hold and analyze medical records, or to integrate with systems like AthleteRMS.

“We have an open philosophy at Fusion Sport. We do replace systems where it fits, but we also try to work with the systems that organizations and leagues already have in place, as in this case with the MLB and their existing league-wide EMR.”

“The key for this integration is that it now creates one centralized location to explore data from every aspect of the athlete health and wellness environment in Smartabase, but teams can still maintain compliance by storing medical information in the league-wide reporting system being AthleteRMS.”

USING SMARTABASE AS AN EMR

Dr Deutsch does however point out a key difference between using these adapted hospital system EMRs and using a configurable health and performance platform like Smartabase.

“EMRs adapted from hospital systems are created to handle injuries after they occur. Smartabase is designed to manage all aspects of the athletic trainer’s role – from injury and illness prevention, wellness monitoring and creating prescriptions through to the documenting, diagnosing and treating of injuries when they occur.”

The other key difference in having one centralized system is the emphasis it puts on communication and a cohesive team environment by facilitating the sharing of information and encouraging collaboration between departments.

“On the AMS side of things the athlete’s availability and injury information is included in automated reporting and fed through to coaches in real time, but at the same time ATs and doctors maintain the power to choose who sees this sensitive information, and in what level of detail.”

“We’ve developed our workflows through years of working directly with Athletic Trainers and sports medicine staff across the globe, configuring holistic solutions suited to the specific needs of the organization and their athletes.”

Elite organizations currently using Smartabase as their one central system for both performance optimization and medical reporting include the US Ski & Snowboard Association, the University of Texas and Oregon University.
