Company continues to reshape EHR landscape; latest innovation built around proven, natural physician processes
FRANKLIN, Tenn. – April 8, 2015 – Committed to giving physicians technology that fits their existing processes and is easy to use, the MEDHOST Physician Experience has been enhanced with the launch of its unique Order Management solution. Leapfrogging the traditional CPOE interface, MEDHOST Order Management is the latest, much-anticipated component that completes the Physician Experience. The new application streamlines the chart, note and order functionality with a contemporary and intuitive user interface that is designed to drive rapid physician adoption.
Physician Order Management is part of the continuous MEDHOST Physician Experience. This one-of-a-kind clinical suite is designed with the objective to provide improved experience in natural workflow for physicians, enhance patient care and safety, create more efficient enterprise-wide processes and improve financial performance, while allowing Meaningful Use requirements to be met.
“MEDHOST is devoted to delivering a Physician Experience like no other and is based on clinicians’ current workflows, in an effort to avoid or minimize new steps for them to learn. For physicians, MEDHOST Physician Experience can mean more time with patients instead of being handcuffed by cumbersome point and click environments and workflows,” said Dr. Frank Newlands, chief medical officer for MEDHOST. “MEDHOST technology catapults over legacy EHR technology, helping provide today’s talented clinicians the tools they need to deliver the modern and complete care patients expect and deserve.”
Physicians can enjoy using the system because it has fewer clicks and offers streamlined processes and an intuitive interface that means less time fighting legacy EHRs, and more time delivering excellent patient care.
“MEDHOST Physician Experience is a paradigm shift for the EHR industry because it is the first example of a product design evolution directed by physicians for physicians. There is a clear focus on simple practicality, ease of use and provider workflow that aligns with daily tasks associated with direct patient care,” said Dr. James “Randy” Lee, chief of staff at Hamilton General Hospital in Hamilton, Texas. “The go-live of MEDHOST Order Management at Hamilton General Hospital was smooth, and because it is intuitive and physician-centric, our physician team immediately began using the application.”
The core elements of MEDHOST Physician Experience are:
- Chart – fully integrated into Physician Experience with Note and Order Management, the Patient Chart streamlines the display of information. Chart uses diagrams like the Fishbone display so clinicians can quickly review, enter and update clinical data.
- Note – the cornerstone and original Physician Experience component, Note empowers clinicians to enter the context of a patient’s record and to view a list of all notes for the patient’s current and any previous encounter. Note provides a story for the patient, defining the intersection between patient data and clinical interpretations, helping to deliver a clear understanding of each patient’s current state and any plans for the patient’s care.
- Order – enhanced Order Management’s intuitive, uncluttered workspace allows physicians to easily modify, suspend, discontinue or reorder existing orders or select new orders, including order sets, which they can customize for the needs of the individual patients. Physicians can select the relevant orders as well as modify the orders in real time based on the patient’s status.
Anywhere in Order Management, physicians have the ability to quickly view the latest Lab Results, Vital Signs, Problem Lists as well as Intakes and Outputs. Order Management goes beyond entering orders for patients by empowering physicians to manage a plan they put in place for the patient.
MEDHOST will be exhibiting at the HIMSS tradeshow April 12-16 in booth #1817. Company executives and hospital Customers, including Hamilton General Hospital Chief of Staff Dr. Randy Lee, will be available to discuss and demonstrate the MEDHOST Physician Experience. To schedule a demo during HIMSS, please contact MEDHOST at marketing@medhost.com.
