CSW North America Showcases Case Notes(TM) - the Next Generation, Patient-Centric Electronic Health Record System

Posted on: Tuesday, 19 February 2008, 15:00 CST

CSW North America today announced that it will showcase its patient-centric interoperable Electronic Health Record (EHR) system - Case Notes™ - at the HIMSS Annual Conference 2008 in Orlando, FL.

Case Notes is a proven, end-to-end EHR system that displays a single patient record across multiple care providers, empowering health professionals to deliver the best possible healthcare throughout a patient's lifetime. Used by physicians, hospitals, labs, radiology centers, skilled nursing facilities and emergency departments, Case Notes seamlessly coordinates clinical processes and connects users across multiple care settings.

"One of the biggest barriers to EHR adoption in a hospital is the resistance from physicians and other health professionals due to difficulties with technology, such as multiplicity of screens, options and navigational aids," says John Chelsom, CEO of CSW. "Case Notes is a Web-based system that addresses these issues as it is designed by experienced clinicians for ease of use, keeping in mind the work habits and routines of health professionals. Knowledge of browser based navigation is sufficient to operate Case Notes, which makes it the physician preferred EHR system."

Completely Web-based, Case Notes provides secure access to a patient's medical history via a one-stop portal from any connected location and device. Case Notes is ideally suited for mid-sized hospitals as it easily integrates with existing systems across the hospital and adopts an incremental deployment approach, adding new functionality as it is required, as opposed to rip-and-replace. This protects existing IT investments and also lowers the total cost of ownership because hospitals can see the clinical value taking effect almost immediately.

To see Case Notes in action at the HIMSS 08 conference, Feb. 24-28, visit CSW at booth #1721.
