HEART TO HEART HOSPICE
IT Support group , led by David Spitzer , Vice President of Infrastructure and Support , did an amazing job .”
“ We selected Homecare Homebase as our EMR partner and began implementing the system in January 2017 . The project took an entire year and was led by Patrick McPherson , Vice President of IT-EMR . This was a huge under-taking and with Patrick ’ s leadership , the team met the challenge .”
Abercrombie emphasises that implementing an EMR and all the ancillary systems is a clinical project first and foremost and cannot happen without a close relationship between the IT and clinical teams . " They know how to care for patients ; they know what is needed ," he says . " And obviously , we know the technical side and project management . So this was a very close partnership ."
While the aim of the hospice is to go digital , there is still a substantial amount of paperwork required , so a document management system was acquired . " Our partner for that is Forcura ," Abercrombie says . " They also provide secure texting and secure video services and provide a mechanism for legal consents to be executed electronically . They ' ve been an excellent partner for us .”
" Over the last four years , we implemented a total of eight systems ", he adds . A few of them are : Nuance Medical One for physician dictation , traditional dictation for remote patient recertification that automatically flows to Forcura , analytic capabilities , internal communication tools , and Muse- Medalogix AI .”
