Medicity
Adds Inpatient CPOE to its Roster of Enterprise Physician
Portal Applications
New
functionality viewed as important extension
to existing application suite that includes clinical
data repository, electronic signature and ambulatory
CPOE functionality
SALT LAKE
CITY, UT, February
20, 2004 - Medicity, Inc., a leading provider of physician
portals for hospitals, today announced that its hospital
clients will now be able to deliver inpatient CPOE
functionality to their physicians through the Medicity
enterprise physician portal.
The Medicity system enables physicians
to access and interact with multiple, disparate hospital
information systems through a single, secure, web-based
application. Data that is accessible through the Medicity
portal may include demographics, lab results, radiological
images, or other diagnostic data. In addition, physicians
are able to view patients’ aggregated clinical
data, electronically “sign” orders, and
order medications and lab tests in both the ambulatory
and inpatient settings. This enables hospitals to
improve accuracy of orders, enhance workflow, and
strengthen point-of-care decision support. The physician
portal also streamlines and strengthens communication
and follow-up between physicians, nurses, technicians
and others involved with patient care.
“As hospitals continue to bolster
physician outreach programs by delivering innovative
functionality to manage clinical information, we believe
that inpatient CPOE fits squarely within the other
applications that improve clinical processes,”
said Kipp Lassetter, M.D., CEO of Medicity. “Our
inpatient CPOE application extends the benefits that
both hospitals and physicians are experiencing from
the other applications in the physician portal, such
as lab results reporting, electronic signatures, and
outpatient CPOE.”
Lassetter added, “It’s
clear that physician adoption is a critical factor
for the successful implementation of clinical systems.
We see inpatient CPOE as a natural extension to our
other portal applications that not only will be embraced,
but will be demanded in the marketplace.”
