(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 09, 2008 ) Needham, Mass. and Cincinnati, Ohio – iMDsoft, a leading provider of software solutions for the critical care and perioperative continuum, today announced that University Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, has selected MetaVision for operating rooms (MV-OR) as its anesthesia information management system. Anesthesiologists at University Hospital, which has been ranked by US News & World Report as one of America’s Best Hospitals for eight consecutive years, will use the system to improve care quality and efficiency in perioperative areas.
MetaVision is a fully-integrated, customizable solution for data collection and presentation, order management, clinical analysis, and decision support. In addition to automating workflows in the OR, the hospital will use MetaVision decision support tools to promote best practices and analyze results. University Hospital is committed to measuring, reporting, and improving patient care, and publishes core quality measures on its web site.
“Our mission is to provide high quality, affordable health care through best clinical practices and resource utilization,” said William E. Hurford M.D., F.C.C.M., professor and chair, Department of Anesthesiology at University Hospital. “We chose MetaVision because it provides a fully integrated solution to help us improve care quality, enhance financial performance, and continue our market leadership.”
“We wanted a system that would support our existing workflow,” said Gerald T. Kitchens II, M.D., assistant professor of clinical anesthesia, University of Cincinnati and assistant medical director, University Pointe Surgical Hospital. “A brief trial proved the system had the flexibility we needed. The system was easy to customize, so it fit with our group's style. Staff that were not comfortable with computers started using the system without difficulty.”
University Hospital will install:
MV-OR, a state-of-the-art Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS), providing comprehensive support for the entire perioperative process (pre-op, intra-op, and post-op)
Event Manager, a robust, multi-parametric decision support tool enabling timely treatment assessments and enhanced adherence to clinical quality guidelines
Query Wizard, an intuitive tool for query and report generation, supporting clinical research, quality initiatives, and business analysis
“We are delighted University Hospital chose MetaVision for its perioperative environment,” said Phyllis Gotlib, CEO and co-founder of iMDsoft. “Leading hospitals throughout the world select the MetaVision Suite for automating workflow and documentation in ICUs and perioperative environments. We look forward to working with the University Hospital to help them promote patient safety, enhance quality initiatives, and continue to provide award-winning care for their patients.”
