GD CAREpoint chosen to enhance patient care at Memorial Health System

Marietta, OH  — GD has announced that Memorial Health System has joined the family of more than 800 hospital and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) communication system implementations by the company. The Ohio based hospital and local EMS network have taken the initiative to enhance patient care by implementing new CAREpoint workstations. GD's CAREpoint Workstation & e-Bridge Mobile Telemedicine systems help hospitals and EMS improve patient care while reducing costs through process and QA improvements, plus better documentation and data management.  "Managing patient care the Emergency Department is complex enough.", says Curt Bashford, GD's CEO. "Integrating prehospital care from EMS with the ED and critical services like trauma, cardiology and neurology magnifies it. This is where Responsive Innovation from GD makes a real difference." adds Bashford.

Like other hospitals throughout the Unites States, Memorial Health System will use GD's CAREpoint to manage all its EMS related activities from the powerful workstation.  Typical usage goals aimed to deliver a strong Return on Investment (ROI) through improvements in patient care and cost reduction include:

·         Improving EMS call handling and notifications from 2-way radio, phone and web

·         Reduce door-to-treatment times for Stroke, STEMI, and Trauma

·         Provide secure mobile notifications to remote Cardio, Neuro, and Trauma teams

·         Simplify and unify reception, distribution, and documentation of prehospital 12-Lead ECGs

·         Enhance CQI with better documentation, digital voice/data logging and reporting tools

·         Implement a HIPAA-secure platform for Mobile Telemedicine pictures, video and data

·         Overall enhancement to on-line medical direction and decision support
