Electronic Health Records (EHR, EMR)

In an effort to eliminate paper-based processes as much as possible, RMH implemented an ECM platform as a first step in an eventual transition to a full-fledged EMR system.

This was enabled thanks to an FCC COVID-19 grant that supplied all physicians with new laptops that feature HD webcams and processing power for seamless video visits.

InterSystems' IRIS Data Platform is now generally available to Epic customers.   

In a conversation with George Halvorson, the CEO discusses interoperability, telehealth, rapid dissemination of new clinical insights and the ability to do installs and go-lives quicker and less expensively.

The open-source FIDDLE tool has the power to speed up data preprocessing and build clinically useful machine learning tools, a new study in JAMIA shows.  

Providing EHR training for clinicians is challenging as up to 70% leave their jobs after training, but COVID-19 has raised the stakes. An upcoming webinar considers how to improve training and lower costs to meet pandemic pressures.

Adding clinical decision support and the ability to see patient activity outside the four walls of the hospital enabled, among other things, a 94% reduction in Dilaudid use.

The partnership marks another foray for the ride-sharing app into the healthcare sphere, and offers another way for providers to help address patients' social determinants of health.

The machine learning model, which has been shown to have up to 90% precision, may help clinicians to determine which patients can be sent home safely.

For example, only around 2% of patients in the home pulse oximetry program have required readmission to date.
