The VisualMED Clinical System has been fully operational at Physicians’ Hospital since June 2004, and is used by all physicians, nurses, and paramedical staff at the hospital for all aspects of patient care documentation.
The system includes a Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) module, which aims to enable every prescription to be electronically written. VisualMED was utilized by hospital staff in the hope of accessing this integrated electronic patient record through a single user interface. Users also intend to employ its archiving capability to review all past hospitalizations and clinic visits, while physicians anticipate that they will be able to consult their hospital patient’s medical records from clinic or from the office.
As a facility dedicated to providing the highest quality patient care, it is vital for Physicians Hospital to provide the benefits of the latest technology to our patients, said Sharon Peterson, Chief Executive officer of Physicians Hospital. We believe that the comprehensive suite of medication, supply and information management tools we are implementing will be a tremendous asset to our organization moving forward, and will help us to better succeed in fulfilling our health care mission.
