The Impact of Health Interoperability and Intelligence in the ED
This webinar was originally transmitted on January 27, 2009. A recorded version is available for viewing upon completion of the form at the bottom of this page.
What impact could a truly integrated patient record have on the care you deliver in your Emergency Department? View the webinar to learn how UPMC set out to answer this question a little over a year ago. Please join Dr. Kevin O'Toole, UPMC's Associate Chief of Emergency Services, to learn how dbMotion has changed the way care is provided throughout its Emergency Department. Dr. O'Toole will share examples of how the availability of real-time information at the point-of-care improved quality and saved lives.
"Interoperability in the ED provides our clinicians with quick access to all relevant data—from prior hospitalizations and physician office visits—including medications, allergies and diseases. This increases patient safety, enhances communications and elevates productivity."
