If at First You Don't Succeed...
For the Record
Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC), a 99-bed community hospital in Bennington, was unhappy with its mobile software system. Poor functionality and a lack of reliability made the system a hindrance and sent SVMC in search of a replacement. In late 2006, PatientKeeper was installed at the hospital, and the first group of doctors was up and running within three to four weeks.
PatientKeeper's physician information system has been successfully integrated to all of SVMC's major information systems and electronic medical records, including Cerner, Eclipsys, Epic, GE Healthcare/IDX, McKesson, MEDITECH, QuadraMed, and Siemens. Access to patient information is possible anytime and anywhere through the use of PDAs, smartphones, and PCs running a Web browser.
