Picis
today announced that UMass Memorial Health Care, the largest healthcare
system in Central and Western Massachusetts, has selected Picis CareSuite®
perioperative and anesthesia solutions for more than 60 operating rooms
in its five hospitals. UMass Memorial chose Picis integrated technology
to deliver clinical documentation and financial information more quickly
and accurately across the UMass Memorial Health Care system, thereby
promoting quality patient care. Picis will demonstrate this technology
at the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) 57th
Annual Congress this week in Denver, CO in booth #1739.
“The benefits to UMass Memorial patients include better coordination of
care between clinicians, and consistency of patient information”

Using Picis’ total
perioperative automation solution, UMass Memorial plans to implement
a single integrated operating room management system (ORMS) across the
five hospitals, helping to streamline clinician workflow through the
entire surgical process from pre-admission testing (PAT) through the
post anesthesia care unit (PACU) and recovery. The Picis solution will
help unify and centralize documentation on one perioperative platform,
while capturing data from medical devices directly in the patient
record. The Picis solution is designed to automatically update the
patient’s electronic health record (EHR) and make the information
readily available for clinicians’ use in treatment and management
reporting.
Picis’ solution eliminates redundancies and improves the accuracy of
information, allowing clinicians to spend more time on direct patient
care and less time charting, searching for information or transcribing
data from other systems. As a result, clinicians and families are better
able to track the progress of a patient across the surgical pathway,
recognize milestones and prepare for each step in the process.
“We expect the Picis perioperative solution to be an important building
block in our multi-year, multi-entity corporate initiative to implement
common patient clinical documentation and financial systems,” says John
O’Brien, President and CEO, UMass Memorial Health Care. “The goal of
this initiative is to reduce variability in our processes and workflows
across the UMass Memorial Health Care enterprise, thereby increasing the
quality of patient care. We believe the Picis solution will help us in
this initiative by providing improved communication and customer
satisfaction.”
