The hospital is also planning to adopt the Soarian physician order entry system soon.

Donald Fleming, vice president and chief information officer at Brookhaven Memorial, said: This is a major strategic IT move for Brookhaven Memorial Hospital in beginning our journey toward an electronic health record and redesigning our healthcare workflows to make them more efficient and patient-centric.

We anticipate that, over time, this technology will help our physicians and nurses in making more informed clinical decisions and will free up even more time that can be spent at the bedside, he added.
