St. Mary’s Hospital Center of Montreal to Implement VisualONCOLOGY
Day Hospital Selects VisualMED to Streamline Clinical Care Through Novel Patient Auto-Registration Process
MONTREAL–( EMWNews – April 1, 2008) – VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp. (the “Company”)
(
its state-of-the-art interactive, interdisciplinary electronic medical
record, by the Oncology Day Hospital at St. Mary’s Hospital Center of
Montreal.
The site, a McGill University teaching hospital, will use VisualONCOLOGY
for documentation of clinical care, decision support and for the design and
execution of protocol chemotherapy. The system will integrate a novel
patient auto-registration process expected to improve access to clinical
care, and reduce patient waiting times. Implementation is starting
immediately with an anticipated go-live as early as Q3 of this year.
The Cancer Center will take advantage of VisualONCOLOGY’s fully electronic
clinical documentation to free additional space for patient care, while
VisualONCOLOGY’s cohort-identification and protocol management capabilities
will contribute directly to clinical research.
“We look forward to pursuing our relationship with St. Mary’s, our second
McGill-affiliated site,” said Dr. Alan Brox, Senior Physician at VisualMED,
and the company’s Director of Oncology Projects. “There is a real
opportunity here to standardize best practice across two of the premier
oncology practice sites in Montreal.”
Dr. Jeff Prchal, Chief of the Department of Oncology at St. Mary’s added,
“We will be implementing several innovative features at the Day Center,
including biometric patient registration. This unique feature, with
resulting streamlined workflow, will result in increased patient
satisfaction as waiting times drop and timely access to healthcare
professionals is enhanced.”
