Planning to move to a much larger space, Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News, Va., decided to switch from paper records to the ED PulseCheck EDIS, which helped them shave 40 minutes off their average patient turnaround time. “The physicians are satisfied because they are no longer hunting for charts. Because the system is Web-based, if physicians do need to fill something in, they can do it from home. Plus, previously, to look up a record for a patient complaint might have taken two days. Now I can look at the record in three minutes and get back to them right away.”
