XtreMed Successfully Integrates Radiology Technology with T-System's EDIS, Streamlining Care for Neighbors Emergency Center
HOUSTON, TEXAS (PRWEB) March 28, 2016 -- XtreMed, a turnkey medical imaging provider today announced successful integration of their Harmonious Radiology Solution with T-System’s emergency department information system (EDIS) at Neighbors Emergency Center, one of the largest freestanding emergency center (FSEC) networks in the U.S.
Neighbors Emergency Center is projected to provide care to over 75,000 patients annually through its more than 20 center locations. With plans to open centers throughout the U.S. this year, Neighbors sought out technology providers who could support their exponential growth. Since the integration of the two technologies from XtreMed and T-System, Neighbors Emergency Center has reported optimized clinical workflow, efficiency and patient care.
“When it comes to the unique dynamics of emergency care, having radiology information available at your fingertips is incredibly valuable,” said Lauren Cotton, RN, CEN, MS, chief nursing officer at Neighbors Emergency Center. “Our clinical team can access a radiology image directly within T-System instead of having to work between two systems, which would have a tremendous negative impact on our workflow and efficiency.”
XtreMed and T-System worked to ensure the technologies were seamlessly integrated so that the images from the radiology equipment were sent automatically to T-System’s EDIS, EV™, and accessible at the point of care.
“Prior to the integration with T-System, we experienced difficulties when attempting to integrate with other EDIS providers. We found that most vendors were unable to provide the necessary support and communication for a successful integration,” said Houman Farzian, chief executive officer of XtreMed. “This has been a very successful working relationship and we’re proud to help streamline care for Neighbors through this technological integration with T-System.”
“We believe in providing clinicians with the tools they need to deliver the best care possible to patients,” said Robert Hitchcock, M.D., FACEP, chief strategy officer at T-System. “I believe this successful integration with XtreMed really shows the remarkable outcomes that can be achieved when healthcare technology vendors work together and remain focused on what’s best for the patient.”
