Texas hospital deploys Medhost EDIS

The Scott & White Hospital at University Medical Campus (UMC) in Round Rock, Texas, has automated its emergency department information systems (EDIS) with Medhost’s full-suite software. 

Through Medhost’s touchscreen technology, clinicians at Scott & White UMC have quick and easy documentation, which improves accuracy and reduces the chance of errors.  Because Scott & White physicians use extensive order sets, Medhost’s one touch bedside order entry removes unnecessary steps and accelerates prompt, efficient care, according to the hospital.

Medhost’s Administrative ToolKit provides the hospital with a way to modify processes in real-time, empowering the hospital to respond to clinical, financial, regulatory and technical changes instantly. 

Medhost currently serves more than 130 facilities, including the Baylor Healthcare System in Texas, Catholic Healthcare West in California, Catholic Health System in New York and Tenet Healthcare Corporation.
