Healthland, America's market leader of healthcare information solutions for small community and critical access hospitals, announced today that Indiana-based, Rush Memorial Hospital has completed implementation of the Healthland Electronic Medical Records (EMR) solution. The 25-bed critical access hospital in Rushville, Ind., is live with the Healthland financial solution, order entry and clinical documentation software solutions. The healthcare facility expects the new technology will enable them to better serve the community through improved patient care, centralized patient records that can be accessed across multiple healthcare settings and increased options for preventive healthcare, while cutting costs and improving efficiencies.

“The primary goal with our EMR project was to utilize technology to better serve our community”

“The primary goal with our EMR project was to utilize technology to better serve our community,” said Jim Boyer, Rush Memorial Hospital's chief information officer. “EMR is an excellent tool to provide physicians with the most up-to-date information on their patients, allowing them to better track patient care including preventive health services. Our medical records are now centralized and can be accessed in a hospital, clinic or long-term care facility. The Healthland solution has also helped us provide a quick turn-around of lab results, increase accuracy on electronic records and prevent errors – which improves patient care, while providing convenience that saves time and decreases costs.”

Rush Memorial is a high-volume facility with a critical need for centralized information. Healthland solutions enable healthcare providers to quickly and easily access a comprehensive view of demographic, historical and clinical patient information from all care settings within the healthcare system-hospital, clinic, home health and long-term care.
