UT Southwestern picks Hyland Software for EMR

Hyland Software Inc. has been selected by UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, a national academic medical center and research institute, to provide enterprise content management (ECM) through its OnBase software suite.
   
The installation of OnBase will aid the integration of document management technologies with UT Southwestern's electronic medical records (EMR) and facilitate the reduction and elimination of paper documentation and storage within the ambulatory clinical setting. UT Southwestern is using an EMR system developed by Epic Systems Corp. which is being deployed in over 35 outpatient clinics.
   
Another focus of the use of OneBase will be to streamline UT Southwestern's University Hospitals' revenue cycle by reducing the need for paper backup, limiting inefficiencies and reducing expenses of documentation management, Hyland Sofware said.
