Testimonial: Implementing and Optimizing for Continued Success

1

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.
