West Anaheim Medical Center Adopts Patient Tracking System
Posted on: Wednesday, 31 October 2007, 18:00 CDT
West Anaheim Medical Center, an affiliate of Prime Healthcare Services, has installed a patient tracking and integrated data system within the emergency department.
Housed within the hospital's MediTech system, the application is called emergency department management (EDM). The EDM can assist health services providers in managing their emergency department patients quickly.
The system will also allow emergency department staff to manage patient flow from a single point of entry and eliminates the need for traditional hand-written grease board or white board information. All of Prime Healthcare Services's hospitals in Orange County have their emergency departments installed with this system.
They have been outfitted with large and easy to view flat screen, high definition monitors that are mounted in a central location. These screens display just the right amount of patient information to inform staff and clinicians of what they require for the patient's treatment while keeping the patient's identity and health information private.
Prem Reddy, chairman of the board at West Anaheim Medical Center, said: "Prime Healthcare Services is committed to providing healthcare that is the highest quality, and also the most cost-effective. The EDM module is just one more example of Prime Healthcare Services' quest to lead the industry is delivering efficient, integrated technology that enables providers to treat patients in the safest and most advantageous environment."
