Muskogee Community Hospital Selects DocuSys for their Anesthesia Information Management System
(Atlanta)—DocuSys, Inc., the leading anesthesia information management system (AIMS), medication management, and presurgical care management systems provider, teamed up with Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPSI), a leading provider of healthcare information solutions, to provide the latest healthcare technology to Muskogee Community Hospital (MCH) in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Muskogee Community Hospital, with 45 licensed patient rooms, has 4 operating rooms and is owned and operated by local physicians. MCH, scheduled to open in early 2009, strives to bring a higher standard of care to the Muskogee community.
“Muskogee Community Hospital is committed to optimizing the use of technology to deliver safe,high-quality patient care,” said President of Muskogee Community Hospital, Mark Roberts. “The DocuSys solution will streamline our perioperative process in the operating room and support our initiatives on patient safety and electronic documentation.”
As part of its goal to enhance patient safety procedures and create a paperless environment, MCH sought an AIMS solution to compliment its electronic medical record in the OR. The DocuSys solution provides MCH with a state-of-the-art AIMS application, which produces an electronic medical record of the anesthetic case to help caregivers collect, consolidate and manage patient data, and a coding module giving MCH the ability to capture professional fees and document comorbid conditions (existing illnesses).
“CPSI is excited to be a part of MCH’s healthcare information technology strategy,” said CPSI Chief Operating Officer Mike Jones. “In combination with the DocuSys AIMS, the hospital and medical practice applications of the CPSI System will afford MCH and the community it serves with a complete electronic medical record that will assist MCH in meeting its patient safety and electronic documentation goals.”
“MCH will be a great addition to the community of Muskogee and we are pleased they selected DocuSys state-of-the-art AIMS technology to deploy in this new facility,” said DocuSys President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Watson. “This is a testament of their dedication and commitment to their patients and community."
