Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC) needed a way to update the hospital's master patient index with information from ambulatory medical locations. The challenge was getting the hospital's Siemens Invision® system and its Enterprise Access Directory to interface effectively with Medical Manager, which the ambulatory offices are using. Moving patient registration data between these two systems would allow emergency department doctors to determine if patients being treated at the hospital had recently been seen at one of the clinics - particularly important when dealing with those in fragile categories, such as cancer patients.
In this case study you’ll discover how CAMC used Boston WorkStation to successfully meet this challenge and gain some side benefits that ensure staff satisfaction.
