Consistent and Thorough Documentation
Pro-MED allows for proper documentation of the patient record. Assessment information, procedures performed, and medications administered are legibly documented and support billing data.
Optimizes Compliance
Pro-MED provides a multitude of features to help Emergency Departments comply with EMTALA, JCAHO, HIPAA, CMS and other regulatory agencies. Visual alerts automatically identify patients who are considered higher risk based on vital signs, assessments, and diagnostic data. The system provides several layers of security features to protect the confidentiality of patient information, and incorporates and prompts the use of all required COBRA forms.
Maximized Patient Satisfaction
Surveys conducted by our client hospitals have indicated that Pro-MED has contributed to increasing patient satisfaction by substantially reducing length of stay (typically by about one-third), improving nurse efficiencies to allow more time for direct patient care, and facilitating medical treatment and decision making. By providing personalized, clear instructions at discharge, Pro-MED helps the patient better understand their treatment and eliminates unnecessary return visits. |
