Medicity
Announces the Successful First Stage
Rollout of Wheeling Hospital Physician Portal
SALT LAKE
CITY, UT, April 1,
2005 - Medicity Inc. announced the successful first
phase roll-out of its physician portal at Wheeling
Hospital. “The roll-out of a new physician portal
puts Wheeling on the forefront of online physician
services,” says Dr. Dennis R. Niess, Wheeling
Hospital’s Clinical Administrator. According
to Carol Owen, Medicity Vice President, “Wheeling
has taken a real leadership position with this project.
The entire project team has worked together in the
specifications and implementation decisions associated
with the portal, a significant benefit for their medical
staff who will use the final solution.”
Under the supervision
of Dr. Niess, the hospital has now trained over 100
physicians. “We have been tracking physician
activity,” he says, “and at least 50 physicians
are logging into the portal daily. These are extremely
encouraging results! We have been gratified by the
initial comments of our admitting staff.”
Medicity’s
ProAccess Clinical Application Suite gives Wheeling
physicians secure web access to aggregated clinical
data. Initially, ProAccess has interfaced to six key
applications: ADT, lab, radiology, pharmacy, transcription,
general orders, and notes. In a succeeding phase the
hospital will add interfaces into the respiratory
and PACS systems, then the ability for physicians
to digitally sign electronic documents. Later they
plan to enhance their portal with an electronic ordering
application that will give physicians one interface
from which to enter outpatient orders which will then
be transmitted into the appropriate system through
a systems interface.
The project
was launched in 2003, after doctors requested internet
access to all important sources of clinical data.
The hospital’s administration responded quickly
to its physicians’ concerns and identified a
solution from Medicity that would satisfy the need
for a comprehensive patient view.
