--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- EDIMS:

WHAT:

 

John Fontanetta, M.D., F.A.C.E.P., chair of emergency medicine for Clara Maass Medical Center in Belleville, NJ, and Jamie Kohl, vice president of strategy at EDIMS, a leading provider of interoperable emergency department (ED) information management systems, will present the hospital’s ED EMR case study at the Institute for Health Technology Transformation (iHT2) Spring Health IT Summit.

The Institute for Health Technology Transformation is the leading organization committed to bringing together private and public sector leaders fostering the growth and meaningful use of technology across the healthcare industry.

 

PRESENTATION

DETAILS:

The case study being presented, “Improving Emergency Department Care and Profitability: A Clara Maass Medical Center Case Study” will outline the challenges that Clara Maass has faced over the past decade as its ED visits soared from 27,000 to over 70,000 per year, and how it used EDIMS EMR to successfully handle the increased volume without commensurate staff growth or a facility expansion. The presenters will demonstrate how by redesigning its ED and utilizing its ED EMR, Clara Maass has been able to deliver improved care while achieving dramatic increases in clinician productivity and per patient revenue.

 
Today, Clara Maass sits near the top of HealthGrades’ ranking of 80 New Jersey hospitals. Its ED, a certified center for stroke and chest pain, has one of the state’s top quality scores for opening coronary arteries after acute myocardial infarction.
