Posted on: Monday, 9 July 2007, 09:20 CDT
MediServe has announced an agreement with University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Medical Center to deploy MediServe's Respiratory Care solution at UCSD Medical Center-Hillcrest in San Diego and at UCSD's Thornton Hospital in La Jolla, CA. In conjunction with the deployment, UCSD has chosen to switch from the Clinivision Mobile Patient Charting solution to MediServe's MediLinks® application suite, including its ReportLink™ analytics module, to fully leverage MediServe's expertise in the clinical and business aspects of respiratory care.
According to Rick Ford, Respiratory Director, UCSD Medical Center, "MediLinks offers the unique functionality to support our environment in which 95% of care is delivered using protocols. As users of a respiratory care information system since 1993, MediLinks will allow UCSD Respiratory Care to achieve even greater gains in capturing therapist workday activities, the deployment of resources across sites, the automation of protocols, regulatory agency compliance, and maximizing the time therapists spend at the bedside."
Ford continues, "UCSD Respiratory Care is data driven with a focus on performance improvement. ReportLink will provide the mechanism not only to support the operational programs in which the reporting of outcomes is so important, but to also better facilitate the active research programs by UCSD faculty and staff." Mr. Ford is the chairperson for the management section and benchmarking committee of the American Association for Respiratory Care.
According to MediServe's Director of Marketing Zach Mortensen, "We are excited to work with UCSD and Rick Ford because of our mutual commitment to improving the quality and efficiency of respiratory care through patient-driven protocols and advanced analytics. Our combined knowledge and experience will benefit the practice of respiratory care well beyond this immediate engagement."
