MedHost Announces Marketplace Success with Version 3.1 of EDMS Product Suite

Powerful Product Suite is Applauded by Current and Soon-to-be Customers

Addison, TX (PRWEB) October 25, 2003 --MedHost, the fastest-growing information management solution company in the Emergency Department arena, announced the release of Version 3.1 of its powerful, easy-to-use Emergency Department Management System (EDMS) application.

MedHosts newest version of its EDMS includes the industry standard in Patient Tracking with robust reporting, Clinician Order Entry, Nurse and Physician Documentation with automatic and provable charge capture, ENA-compliant staffing tools, JCAHO-mandated administration metrics for monitoring patient flow, a powerful Toolkit allowing real-time customizations, and much more.

Clinician Order Entry was specifically designed for use in the busy ED setting. One-touch ordering and customizable workups make ordering tests and procedures as simple as checking a box. The system interfaces directly with the hospital's Lab and Radiology systems for immediate order placement. Less time waiting on tests, as well as fewer errors related to transcription of orders, leads to improved patient satisfaction and patient safety.

Built on the success of EDMS Nurse Charting, Physician Documentation offers templated touch-screen documentation that maximizes reimbursement and eliminates redundant data entry. Prompts and required fields ensure comprehensive documentation per CMS guidelines. Automatic entries capture historical data from EDMS Nurse Charting and relevant events from EDMS Tracking and Order Entry. Physicians will enjoy the ability to create their own custom text entries that will be available for subsequent charts. Additionally, the highly graphical 3-D body image plug-in allows for rapid site selection of injuries or pain.

According to Dr. John Marcucci, an EMCARE physician at Doctors Hospital in Dallas, Texas, MedHosts Physician Documentation is better than any of the systems I have seen. It is comprehensive and easy to use. It saves me from having to re-enter data and helps me document what is necessary for maximum reimbursement."

In response to input from MedHost Customers, the new and improved EDMS Tracking module boasts enhancements for the exiting process. The Discharge Instruction pathway has been streamlined and suggests Instructions and Prescriptions based on the selected diagnosis. In addition, a new reporting database improves reporting performance and capabilities. New standard reports include Ad Hoc capabilities, allowing users to create reports and graphs on demand in addition to new staffing, process, and clinical reports. Furthermore, the EDMS ToolKit that permits on-site real-time modifications to the application continues to expand as new features and functionality are added. The product suite is fully compatible with the latest wireless handheld technologies, allowing added mobility and versatility in the fast-paced ED environment.
