Meditech Lab Registration

UMass Medical Center’s first project was to streamline the registration process. Previously, they had to pass through several Meditech modules to complete the registration. With Boston WorkStation, codes are entered into the Laboratory module and automatically populated in the abstracting module. They found that Boston WorkStation allowed them to save 35 seconds per registration. That didn't seem like much until they calculated it over an average of 5,500 registrations per week and found they were saving approximately 60 hours or 1.5 FTEs a week.
