OSF HealthCare is a multi-state corporation providing state-of-the-art,
compassionate care to more than 2.5 million people in the communities it
serves in Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin. HealthMatics ED
(https://www.allscripts.com/edis) will streamline processes for the
organization’s Emergency Departments, including patient tracking and triage,
nurse and physician charting, reporting and disposition.

“OSF HealthCare is committed to further enhancing the quality and safety
of patient care provided in our Emergency Departments, and Allscripts will
help us achieve both goals,” said Robert White, MD, Chief Medical Officer for
Management Information Systems at OSF HealthCare. “We believe the electronic
format of the EDIS ultimately is the best way to deliver critical patient
information to our clinicians in an efficient and standardized manner.”

Physicians, nurses and other Emergency Department staff appreciate
HealthMatics ED’s single-screen view of all ED activity with comprehensive
patient tracking, electronic records, real-time views of all lab orders and
test results, and patient-specific decision support information to enhance
safety. Other system features include remote chart access for community
caregivers and hospital staff, so they can securely access an ED patient’s
chart via the Web without logging into the HealthMatics ED solution.

OSF Healthcare System conducted a comprehensive analysis of EDIS vendors
and selected HealthMatics ED for its industry-leading connectivity,
comprehensive functionality, ease of customization, and proven success at the
nation’s leading hospitals, where the Allscripts solution handles millions of
Emergency Department visits each year.

“Our clinicians were very clear that Allscripts has the all information
they need to improve the delivery of care in the ED,” said Dave Vermillion,
MIS Project Manager for OSF HealthCare. “They found HealthMatics to be the
easiest EDIS to use and the best fit for our existing inpatient information
systems.”

OSF Healthcare System will deploy HealthMatics ED initially in OSF Saint
Francis Medical Center, Peoria, IL; OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center,
Rockford, IL; OSF St. Joseph Medical Center, Bloomington, IL; OSF St. Mary
Medical Center, Galesburg, IL; OSF Saint James – John W. Albrecht Medical
Center, Pontiac, IL; and in three OSF PromptCare clinics in Peoria and Morton,
IL. Vermillion indicated that the EDIS will eventually be deployed in two
additional Emergency Departments within the OSF Healthcare System.

“Physicians and caregivers inside the Emergency Department need instant
access to the right information at the right time. The very definition of
emergency speaks to speed, quick access, and the ability to document and share
information quickly – and Allscripts delivers,” said Glen Tullman, Chief
Executive Officer of Allscripts. “We’re proud that OSF HealthCare has chosen
Allscripts to help fulfill their mission of providing comprehensive,
integrated, quality health care to their millions of patients, especially when
it comes to the most critical moments.”
