An Electronic Health Records System that Improves Emergency Room Efficiency

HarmoniMD HIS helps hospitals of all sizes overcome traditional obstacles and limitations

Prior to implementing HarmoniMD HIS, the emergency department at HIMFG had no way to track where patients were in the waiting queues, how long they had been waiting, or an overview of the number of patients in the department. By converting their clinical documentation from paper files to HarmoniMD HIS, the staff can now see all patient data at a glance, including details such as patient diagnoses, the clinicians assigned to treat the patient, which area of the ED the patient is currently in, a complete history of treatment received and other vital data.

HarmoniMD HIS makes clinical management and reporting much more efficient for HIMFG. Wait times are being reduced now that bottlenecks in treatment are being identified and addressed. In critical care situations, this translates to improved diagnosis, treatment and recovery time as well as more successful outcomes.

A Hospital Software Customized to Fit the Needs of HIMFG

Electronic Clinical Documents are Custom Created for Your Hospital

MedWave works with the administration, physicians and nurses at Hospital Infantil to define departmental workflows and commonly performed tasks. MedWave uses these insights from hospital staff to custom-tailor user-interface screens which easily guide clinicians through each step of documenting a complete patient record. This customization of workflow-defined screens eliminates unnecessary steps, saving time and reinforcing existing facility workflows. HIMFG’s paper forms have been converted to Electronic Clinical Documents (ECDs) to serve a variety of workflows at the facility. For example, one helpful order set provides a single portal for placing orders and viewing past orders, test results, diagnoses, and other important historical patient information.

HarmoniMD HIS Makes EHR Adoption a Breeze for Hospital Staff

An Intuitive Interface and On-site Training Make Implementation Easy and Successful

MedWave provided HIMFG a full-time on-site trainer for nursing staff and a full-time on-site physician to train doctors. Our team uses trainers with clinical and educational backgrounds to create a recipe for successfully educating both nurses and doctors in the adoption and understanding of what the software can do for them to make their jobs more efficient, more accurate and aid them in patient care in a very hectic emergency department environment.

During a recent tour of the Emergency Department given to administrators from another local hospital, one of Hospital Infantil’s residents was asked to demonstrate his knowledge and understanding of HarmoniMD HIS software. After showing the visitors his ability to input patient treatment data, place orders and review results, he was asked how long he had been using the program. His reply? Three days!
