Health Management deploys HIS at Pennsylvania hospital

Clarion Hospital in Clarion, Pa., has chosen Healthcare Management Systems to supply an integrated hospital information system (HIS) to help the 86-bed facility implement an EHR.

With the HIS, doctors will have 24-hour access to patient records which should have a positive effect on medical outcomes, according to the hospital.
HMS will go live at Clarion on Oct. 1.

Clarion provides emergent, acute, transitional and long-term medical services for the residents of Clarion County and its surrounding communities, including Brookville, Foxburg, Fryburg, Knox, Leeper, New Bethlehem, Rimersburg and Shippenville.
