The viewer links to the patient’s electronic health record to give physicians additional information to make a rapid diagnosis with confidence.

  • Five hospitals in Ontario, Canada, that share a common information technology infrastructure will add the CPOE and medication reconciliation software of PatientKeeper to their existing use of the vendor’s clinical automation software. The facilities further will expand use of the PatientKeeper NoteWriter software. The hospitals are Clinton Public Hospital, St. Marys Memorial Hospital, Seaforth Community Hospital, Stratford General Hospital and Alexandra Marine and General Hospital. In total, the five hospitals have 250 beds and 150 physicians. PatientKeeper functions as a workflow overlay to the hospitals’ Meditech electronic health record system and other departmental systems, making it easier for physicians to get the information they need in an efficient manner.
  • Johns Hopkins Healthcare in Maryland is implementing the Healthsuite Mercato core administrative processing platform from RAM Technologies, replacing two legacy administrative systems. Mercato administers health plan operations such as eligibility and enrollment, benefit administration, provider contracting and reimbursement, provider credentialing, medical and utilization management, care management, premium billing and encounter/claims administration, among other functions. A patient portal also is part of the package.
