Testimonial: Implementing and Optimizing for Continued Success

When RN, Melody Ceccarelli, attended a conference in Nashville she was introduced to the MEDHOST EDIS product. When she got back to Claiborne Memorial Medical Center in Homer, LA, she immediately went to the administrator recommending MEDHOST. Through years of partnership and success, Claiborne continued to implement and optimize MEDHOST solutions.

Watch the video to find out how MEDHOST helps Claiborne Memorial Medical Center in their mission of being the cornerstone of healthcare in Claiborne Parrish.

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.
