Henry Mayo to Paperlessly Interface EKG/ECG Traces into EHRs with Access Universal Document Portal

March 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital (Henry Mayo), a not-for-profit community hospital and trauma center in Santa Clarita, Calif., is recognized as a health information technology leader. To improve the management of its EKG/ECG data, Henry Mayo selected Access Universal Document Portal (UDP).

Typically, hospitals send EKG/ ECG monitor traces from the cardiology department to health information management (HIM), where they are stored in folders or cut up and individually scanned into the enterprise content/document management (ECM/EDM) system. Scanning requires time-consuming and error-prone manual indexing, and the EKG/ECG data is unavailable until this is performed.

Access UDP will transform this process. This unique enterprise solution will capture EKG/ECG traces from Henry Mayo’s Epiphany system, convert them into a standardized, usable format and automatically integrate them natively within the correct electronic health record (EHR), making the EKG/ECG imagery and data immediately accessible across the organization. This paperless workflow will be made possible by seamless integration between Access UDP and Henry Mayo’s MEDITECH Scanning and Archiving (SCA) enterprise document management (EDM) system.

Hospitals can use Access UDP to capture, standardize and seamlessly integrate output from any clinical system, such as perinatal and ambulance, and any monitoring device, including fetal monitors and glucometers. Benefits of this paperless process include enhanced patient safety, elimination of time-consuming tasks and reduced financial and environmental costs.
