PatientKeeper Continues Its Strong Growth in the Meditech Hospital Market
2008-07-16 06:30:00
Demand Fueled by the Need for Anytime, Anywhere Access to Patient
Information and a Cost Effective Solution for Business Continuity
BOSTON–(EMWNews)–PatientKeeper®, Inc., the leading provider of
integrated physician information systems, announces that its MEDITECH
customer base has grown to over 200 hospitals, representing a
significant portion of the hospitals running MEDITECH in the United
States. Across the nation, the market demand for PatientKeeper software
is driven by a growing need among hospitals to improve the physician
experience with access to data in MEDITECH and other ancillary systems,
provide a cost-effective means of accessing clinical data outside the
hospital, and to implement a robust business continuity solution to
allow all clinicians to access data in MEDITECH when the MEDITECH system
is not available.
PatientKeeper software has recently been implemented at a number of
MEDITECH facilities including Ohio’s Berger
Health System, St. Joseph Medical Center in Towson, Maryland (a member
of Catholic Health Initiatives), and Provena St. Joseph Medical Center
in Joliet, Illinois.
By adding the PatientKeeper Physician Information System as a layer on
top of MEDITECH and other ancillary systems, hospitals deliver a unified
view of patient information and provide their physicians with a tightly
integrated suite of physician-centric applications. The Physician
Information System gives physicians a modern browser-based view of
patient data on tablets, laptops and PCs, and offers a mobile companion
that runs on most major Smartphones and PDAs.
PatientKeeper’s proven integration technology
connects disparate systems that physicians typically access throughout
their workday into a single physician portal. With a single sign-on, the
PatientKeeper Portal enables providers to review clinical data from
multiple sources —including lab and test
results, EKG, PACS, fetal monitoring, Ambulatory EMRs and medication
histories; hand off patients to other physicians at the end of a shift;
and electronically sign medical record documentation. This improves
physician satisfaction with hospital IT, provides cost-effective remote
access to information for the affiliated physician community and extends
the value of MEDITECH and other hospital applications.
“What impressed us most about PatientKeeper’s
portal solution is that not only does it provide a physician-friendly
shell over MEDITECH, but it actually integrates clinical information
into a physician-centric workflow,” said Andy
Chileski, Berger Health System CIO. “Physicians
rave about PatientKeeper’s Portal and its
usability. Some of the physicians have commented that our system now
outshines those offered by some of the bigger tertiary facilities in the
area.”
Another benefit of the PatientKeeper Physician Information System is
that it provides redundancy for clinical information —
an effective and economical solution to ensure business continuity
during both planned and unplanned MEDITECH system downtime. This
capability ensures that physicians and other caregivers will always have
the information they need for patient care while supporting the JCAHO
guidelines for continuous access to clinical information.
“We are very excited to add these hospitals
and their physicians to our growing customer base,”
said Paul W. Brient, PatientKeeper president and CEO. “The
breadth and depth of our physician applications give our customers the
opportunity to expand the capabilities they can offer their physician
community to improve patient care. We look forward to working with them
as they continue on this bright path.”
