SAN DIEGO, CA -- CliniComp, Intl. today announced that the Western Regional Medical Command (WRMC), located at Fort Lewis in Tacoma, Wash., has added the CliniComp Essentris™ clinical suite to a second hospital within the command's three-hospital network as part of a planned system-wide upgrade.
In the latest installation, Essentris will be used throughout Weed Army Community Hospital in Fort Irwin, Calif. The hospital offers pediatric medical and surgical care, obstetrics, orthopedics and emergency services. Essentris will allow the medical staff and other personnel to efficiently share clinical documentation about patients with a paperless chart. It will also be used for fetal monitor remote display. In addition, the hospital will also leverage two key Essentris products, Essentris CPOE and Essentris InView™.
Essentris CPOE allows for the entry, classification and management of orders for the general staff, particularly the physician. It provides rules and alert-driven decision support while screening medication orders for adverse interactions, duplication and other errors. Essentris InView is a data repository with easy-to-use tools that enable clinicians, supervisors and administrators to analyze and report on historical and real-time clinical processes and practices quickly and cost-effectively.
Carl Witonsky, vice chairman of CliniComp, said, "We're pleased to support the Department of Defense with its ongoing program to promote best practices in monitoring patient status and efficiently sharing patient data. Essentris allows a smaller facility such as Weed Army Community Hospital access to the same system used at the flagship facility at Ft. Lewis, giving medical personnel an enhanced ability to care for its patients."
