Keane Completes Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Implementation for New Jersey-Based Acute Care Facility
Keane's solutions help U.S. healthcare facilities modernize their operations by using technology to prevent medical mistakes, provide better patient care, and implement the most effective treatments, while at the same time achieving cost-saving efficiencies and meaningful returns on health information technology investments. Keane Optimum is especially well suited to help healthcare facilities accelerate the adoption of EMRs in response to the Healthcare IT provisions in the recently approved American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Specifically, Optimum allows providers to enhance quality, maintain privacy, support clinical decision making and begin to move to a more interoperable environment for improved health care delivery.
As part of its project at Capital Health, Keane installed clinical components of its iMed solution throughout the facility to provide clinicians with immediate access to patient information using a secure, web-enabled technology at the point of service. The facility has rolled out more than 150 computers on wheels (COWs) to assist medical staff at the point of care to ensure accuracy of treatment information.
"Capital Health has a strong commitment to provide our patients with the most state-of-the-art technology supporting the highest standard of care and patient safety," said
"We were highly impressed with the professionalism, dedication and expertise of the entire Keane team, who partnered with us closely to complete this implementation so rapidly," added Mr. Grochala.
"The healthcare industry is undergoing a dramatic evolution aimed at leveraging information technology for better patient care and improved operational efficiencies," said
