Carrus Hospitals, in Sherman, Texas, US, is set to install integrated clinical and financial solutions developed by MEDHOST.
MEDHOST’s solutions, including inpatient electronic health record (EHR) and physician documentation, will enable the hospital to streamline its transitions from paper to electronic records, while reducing its upfront capital cost.
By implementing these solutions, which can be remotely hosted and managed through MEDHOST Direct, the hospital will be able to reduce duplicate data entry and allow all care teams to access patient data in real time.
MEDHOST Direct will also streamline implementation with software updates and maintenance provided, enabling IT staff to focus on patient service and clinician support.
Carrus Hospitals CEO Jon Rains said that by implementing MEDHOST’s solutions, the hospital will be able to reduce the burden on its internal IT staff and maintain access to patient records in the event of a natural disaster or emergency.
"We have a reputation of providing excellent care, as our hospital tracks higher than the regional and national averages in rehabilitation goals, and our long-term, acute care goals are also ranked higher than the average," Rains added.
