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.
