University Hospital, Cincinnati, Ohio, Selects iMDsoft's
MetaVision for Anesthesia Information Management
Anesthesiologists will use MetaVision to improve care quality and efficiency in
perioperative areas
Needham, Mass. and Cincinnati, Ohio - April 8, 2008 - iMDsoft, a leading provider
of software solutions for the critical care and perioperative continuum, today
announced
that University Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, has selected MetaVision for operating
rooms (MVOR) as its anesthesia information management system. Anesthesiologists at
University Hospital, which has been ranked by US News & World Report as one of
America's Best Hospitals for eight consecutive years, will use the system to improve
care
quality and efficiency in perioperative areas.
MetaVision is a fully-integrated, customizable solution for data collection and
presentation, order management, clinical analysis, and decision support. In addition to
automating workflows in the OR, the hospital will use MetaVision decision support tools
to promote best practices and analyze results. University Hospital is committed to
measuring, reporting, and improving patient care, and publishes core quality
measures on
its web site.
"Our mission is to provide high quality, affordable health care through best clinical
practices and resource utilization," said William E. Hurford M.D., F.C.C.M.., professor
and chair, Department of Anesthesiology at University Hospital. "We chose MetaVision
because it provides a fully integrated solution to help us improve care quality,
enhance
financial performance, and continue our market leadership."
"We wanted a system that would support our existing workflow," said Gerald T.
Kitchens II, M.D., assistant professor of clinical anesthesia, University of
Cincinnati and
assistant medical director, University Pointe Surgical Hospital. "A brief trial
proved the
system had the flexibility we needed. The system was easy to customize, so it fit
with our
group\'s style. Staff that were not comfortable with computers started using the system
without difficulty."
University Hospital will install:
. MVOR, a state-of-the-art Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS),
providing comprehensive support for the entire perioperative process (pre-op,
intra-op, and post-op)
. Event Manager, a robust, multi-parametric decision support tool enabling timely
treatment assessments and enhanced adherence to clinical quality guidelines
. Query Wizard, an intuitive tool for query and report generation, supporting
clinical research, quality initiatives, and business analysis
"We are delighted University Hospital chose MetaVision for its perioperative
environment," said Phyllis Gotlib, CEO and co-founder of iMDsoft. "Leading hospitals
throughout the world select the MetaVision Suite for automating workflow and
documentation in ICUs and perioperative environments. We look forward to working
with the University Hospital to help them promote patient safety, enhance quality
initiatives, and continue to provide award-winning care for their patients."
