00:00:00,500 –> 00:00:01,920
I went to a conference at MEDHOST.
2
00:00:01,920 –> 00:00:03,280
in Nashville
3
00:00:03,280 –> 00:00:07,710
and I was shown the MEDHOST product of the EDIS system
4
00:00:07,710 –> 00:00:09,660
and it was amazing.
5
00:00:09,660 –> 00:00:12,185
I came back home to Claiborne Memorial.
6
00:00:12,185 –> 00:00:14,560
And I went to the administrator and the CEO in and I said,
7
00:00:14,560 –> 00:00:16,140
we have got to have this.
8
00:00:16,140 –> 00:00:19,320
The product has been very helpful in keeping the flow
9
00:00:19,320 –> 00:00:20,900
of patients going.
10
00:00:20,900 –> 00:00:22,350
I liked the layout.
11
00:00:22,350 –> 00:00:26,670
I can look at the locator and see where my patients are, what
12
00:00:26,670 –> 00:00:28,590
their particular problems are.
13
00:00:28,590 –> 00:00:32,460
It keeps me on task as to who the most emergent patient might
14
00:00:32,460 –> 00:00:35,670
be and where I might be needed most.
15
00:00:35,670 –> 00:00:38,760
We had the team come in and do an optimization
16
00:00:38,760 –> 00:00:41,850
and they really helped us and understanding how
17
00:00:41,850 –> 00:00:43,900
we were using the information.
18
00:00:43,900 –> 00:00:47,250
What information need to be used and how we could put that
19
00:00:47,250 –> 00:00:50,740
together to better serve not only our physicians,
20
00:00:50,740 –> 00:00:54,360
but our nurses, our patients and our community
21
00:00:54,360 –> 00:00:58,260
in order to properly get all the information out of the system
22
00:00:58,260 –> 00:00:58,930
that we needed.
23
00:00:58,930 –> 00:01:01,410
We needed the optimization team to come in
24
00:01:01,410 –> 00:01:05,820
and look at what we were doing and tell us exactly OK.
25
00:01:05,820 –> 00:01:07,230
This is what we can do.
26
00:01:07,230 –> 00:01:09,270
This is how you can solve this problem.
27
00:01:09,270 –> 00:01:11,130
Every time we gave them a problem
28
00:01:11,130 –> 00:01:12,720
they gave us the solution.
29
00:01:12,720 –> 00:01:15,150
It was very beneficial for us training
30
00:01:15,150 –> 00:01:17,270
the optimization crew
31
00:01:17,270 –> 00:01:21,900
was there from start to finish and really helped me
32
00:01:21,900 –> 00:01:24,030
a lot to understand the system.
33
00:01:24,030 –> 00:01:27,600
The MEDHOST product has been phenomenal.
34
00:01:27,600 –> 00:01:30,420
Once you actually get into it you see all the options
35
00:01:30,420 –> 00:01:32,130
that you actually have.
36
00:01:32,130 –> 00:01:35,260
I’ve never seen in any other computer system.
37
00:01:35,260 –> 00:01:39,280
And that’s made it a lot easier or it’s just a double click
38
00:01:39,280 –> 00:01:41,430
and there’s everything that you need
39
00:01:41,430 –> 00:01:45,240
prior to implementing MEDHOST we had to do a backup up.
40
00:01:45,240 –> 00:01:47,790
We would have to take the hospital down.
41
00:01:47,790 –> 00:01:49,920
Basically you’re putting the whole entire hospital
42
00:01:49,920 –> 00:01:53,670
on paper, which was frustrating to all of our employees
43
00:01:53,670 –> 00:01:58,420
going hosted allowed us to just to constantly stay up.
44
00:01:58,420 –> 00:02:00,630
So we don’t experience the downtime
45
00:02:00,630 –> 00:02:02,370
that we had in the past.
46
00:02:02,370 –> 00:02:03,690
Everybody was excited.
47
00:02:03,690 –> 00:02:07,800
That is the first time since I’ve been here in three years
48
00:02:07,800 –> 00:02:09,840
that it’s been simple and easy.
49
00:02:09,840 –> 00:02:11,130
And we went yeah.
50
00:02:11,130 –> 00:02:14,040
This is working exactly like we anticipated.
51
00:02:14,040 –> 00:02:16,800
Nobody had to come in from the IT department.
52
00:02:16,800 –> 00:02:19,530
It just was handled it’s taken care of.
53
00:02:19,530 –> 00:02:22,500
This was an extremely smooth transition.
54
00:02:22,500 –> 00:02:23,850
The team was wonderful.
55
00:02:23,850 –> 00:02:25,650
Everybody involved was great.
56
00:02:25,650 –> 00:02:27,730
Not only the team that came here.
57
00:02:27,730 –> 00:02:30,000
But the entire implementation team.
58
00:02:30,000 –> 00:02:32,070
Our mission statement here at Claiborne Memorial
59
00:02:32,070 –> 00:02:34,790
Medical Center is to be the cornerstone of health
60
00:02:34,790 –> 00:02:36,150
care in Claiborne Parrish.
61
00:02:36,150 –> 00:02:38,430
We want to be able to provide health care
62
00:02:38,430 –> 00:02:40,060
to our citizens and the payers.
63
00:02:40,060 –> 00:02:42,430
So they don’t have to go outside of the pairs
64
00:02:42,430 –> 00:02:45,060
and MEDHOST has been able to let
65
00:02:45,060 –> 00:02:48,480
us use their system to better our patient load here
66
00:02:48,480 –> 00:02:50,180
at the hospital.
