SourceMedical Adopts New Technology To Improve Patient Admission Process Via The Internet
The SourcePlus Medical Passport will allow facilities using SourceMedical applications the ability to have their patients complete their own registration and preoperative medical history securely via the Internet from the privacy of their own homes. The information is then immediately available to the ASC's nurses, anesthesiologists and registration staff, as well as the patient's surgeon.
"Our new partnership with MWT will substantially reduce the amount of time surgery center staff and nurses spend on routine data entry," said Scott Palmer, president and COO of SourceMedical's Surgery Division. "Enabling a patient to essentially create his or her own permanent medical record is a value-added service that will translate into significant time and cost savings for both our clients and their patients. Facilities are looking for means to increase efficiency and reduce costs. We have confirmed that SourcePlus Medical Passport saves approximately 20 minutes of nursing time per case for patients who participate, allowing nursing and anesthesia staff to focus less on administrative tasks. Combining the patient portal with our new Vision electronic perioperative health record will increase efficiency and ultimately result in improved information and patient care."
Stephen Punzak, MD, CEO of MWT explained: "We take the complex task of providing a health history and break it down into bite-sized pieces that are easy for the average patient to complete. One Medical Passport revolutionizes the way patients' medical histories are obtained as much as automated teller machines (ATM) revolutionized consumer banking."
"We partnered with SourceMedical because they are the clear leader in the ambulatory surgery center information system market. The ASC industry is on the cutting edge of providing more convenient, efficient service to their patient and surgeon customers. Being able to have a patient's information supplied directly by that patient and available in advance furthers that goal of convenience."
The One Medical Passport system uses the highest degree of Internet security available. All patient information is stored on servers at a secure web hosting site and is only released to the medical team and medical facility designated by the patient. Patients who take advantage of the new SourceMedical-MWT technology are never again required to complete lengthy medical histories, regardless of the healthcare system, physician or medical facility services they use.
