Testimonial: Supporting Rural Community Health Through Specialized Care

1
00:00:05,210 –> 00:00:08,410
The whole thought process behind
the actual build out of Aspen

2
00:00:08,410 –> 00:00:10,850
Mountain Medical Center was to
bring value the healthcare

3
00:00:10,850 –> 00:00:13,900
system to not pass along
needless cost to the patient

4
00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:15,650
but to give them that
top of the line care

5
00:00:15,650 –> 00:00:17,840
that this community deserves.

6
00:00:17,840 –> 00:00:20,600
We’re able to collaborate a
lot with our local hospital

7
00:00:20,600 –> 00:00:23,210
and add extra services
that necessarily

8
00:00:23,210 –> 00:00:26,990
wouldn’t be available in
a rural area in Wyoming.

9
00:00:26,990 –> 00:00:29,900
Initially as a new facility
we had a lot of growing pains.

10
00:00:29,900 –> 00:00:32,900
We were doing all of the IBM
and servers and everything

11
00:00:32,900 –> 00:00:36,200
on site which was a lot of
maintenance and updates.

12
00:00:36,200 –> 00:00:37,940
It was at that
point that we really

13
00:00:37,940 –> 00:00:40,370
decided that a best
solution for us

14
00:00:40,370 –> 00:00:44,060
was to go to a
hosted solution.

15
00:00:44,060 –> 00:00:47,290
MEDHOST is able to integrate
the services that we already

16
00:00:47,290 –> 00:00:51,070
have here in Aspen we’re able
to have a vitals flow so that

17
00:00:51,070 –> 00:00:54,300
allows for the nurses to be
more at the patient’s bedside

18
00:00:54,300 –> 00:00:57,400
and it helps us grow to give
the nurse more availability

19
00:00:57,400 –> 00:01:01,210
and malleability to do other
services for our patients.

20
00:01:01,210 –> 00:01:03,550
If we can pick up the phone
and we can call somebody

21
00:01:03,550 –> 00:01:08,440
at our EMR or EHR provider
and get an Active Response

22
00:01:08,440 –> 00:01:10,180
we make change happen faster.

23
00:01:10,180 –> 00:01:11,720
We protect the patients

24
00:01:11,720 –> 00:01:14,700
and that’s the ultimate goal.
Some of the templates that we

25
00:01:14,700 –> 00:01:20,070
use some of the built in easy
to access parts of the EMR

26
00:01:20,070 –> 00:01:22,350
allow us to focus more
on our patient experience

27
00:01:22,350 –> 00:01:26,390
and be nurse to patient
rather than nurse to computer.

28
00:01:26,390 –> 00:01:29,510
It’s nice that MEDHOST
is able to interface

29
00:01:29,510 –> 00:01:32,930
with the other products that
we have in the system already.

30
00:01:32,930 –> 00:01:36,230
We use Mindray which is the
vitals machines and answering

31
00:01:36,230 –> 00:01:39,950
machines – those seamlessly
flow vitals and anesthesia

32
00:01:39,950 –> 00:01:42,560
data into the medical
records so they’re not having

33
00:01:42,560 –> 00:01:44,370
to sit and chart all of that.

34
00:01:44,370 –> 00:01:46,730
It’s flowing in, we can
see what’s happening,

35
00:01:46,730 –> 00:01:48,620
and we can tweak it
the way we want it

36
00:01:48,620 –> 00:01:52,010
and use the product to
the best of its ability.

37
00:01:52,010 –> 00:01:54,140
The ultimate goal is
taking care of the patient.

38
00:01:54,140 –> 00:01:56,720
We cannot create the change
that we want to create unless we

39
00:01:56,720 –> 00:02:00,447
have a solid EHR partner.
MEDHOST takes a lot

40
00:02:00,447 –> 00:02:02,780
of stress off of us because
we know that the updates are

41
00:02:02,780 –> 00:02:03,980
getting done all the time.

42
00:02:03,980 –> 00:02:06,170
It’s much better faster.

43
00:02:06,170 –> 00:02:08,500
It’s been a really
good solution.
