May 1, 2014 - How valuable is MEDITECH’s Home Care solution? How is it helping customers maximize their resources and improve patient outcomes?
Just ask Gail Olson, MBA, ACHCE, Home Care Center Director at St. Cloud Hospital Home Care and Hospice (Saint Cloud, MN), currently using the 2.5 version of MEDITECH’s Home Care solution. Olson shares how the MEDITECH solution is not only improving clinician workflow, but also leading to a decrease in visit times, and a higher level of safe quality patient care.
According to Olson, here are the top five reasons why MEDITECH provides value at St. Cloud:
1. Clinicians are able to focus on the patient and spend less time documenting. The required documentation can be addressed and completed immediately at the point of care.
2. The MEDITECH EHR is easy to learn. Staff spend less time in orientation and more time out in the field with patients and families.
3. Having visit notes attached to the schedule is a huge win for us. Clinicians and therapists can quickly and easily get a snapshot of their patient and their patient’s plan of care across all care settings.
4. Our agency is more compliant with Medicare CoPs because the visit schedule matches the visits ordered.
5. Daily operations have become more efficient throughout our entire organization.
