Hospital Adopts E-Records, Telemedicine

HDM Breaking News, March 31, 2009

West Carroll Memorial Hospital in Oak Grove, La., has gone live with the inpatient electronic medical records software of Healthland (formerly Dairyland Healthcare Solutions), Glenwood, Minn.

The 33-bed hospital received a grant to put in the system and join the telemedicine service of the Louisiana Rural Health Information Exchange. The HIE enables rural hospitals in the state to use telemedicine technologies to access specialists at Louisiana State University.

The hospital also is live with Healthland's physician practice management software. It expects in coming months to go live with the vendor's financial management and ambulatory EMR applications.
