St. Joseph's Hospital & Medical Center partners with ECDSSt. Joseph's Hospital & Medical Center Partners With ECDS
ECDS is proud to announce their newest partnership with St. Joseph’s Hospital & Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona. ECDS has been selected to deliver its critically acclaimed EmpowER System to St. Joe’s emergency department, with a schedule go-live date of September 19.
The handwritten patient chart is going by the wayside, and St. Joe’s emergency department is upgrading its technology to reflect this change. With EmpowER, doctors and nurses will be able to access patient information at any time rather than having to search for a paper chart. A patient’s visit to the ED is electronically tracked, speeding up triage and registration and thus reducing the time patients spend in the waiting room. EmpowER also provides invaluable risk management features, such as automatic prompts, which remind doctors and nurses of drug allergies or potential drug-to-drug interactions, helping to ensure the maximum standard in patient safety. The EmpowER System makes doctors and nurses more efficient, accurate and fast while providing the highest quality of care.
The EDIS selection process at St. Joe’s was impressively expedient, as the contract was signed less than 30 days after the initial presentation.
“Throughout the selection process, ECDS established themselves as leaders in their field,” said Penny Calvert, site program manager for Perot Systems. “Their software is streamlined and user friendly. I'd refer them to all facilities searching for an electronic medical records solution.”
After the contract signing, ECDS was named an approved vendor for Perot Systems.
ECDS is proud of this new partnership and looks forward to helping St. Joseph’s Hospital & Medical Center to further pursue its commitment to its patients and community. |
