The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore is a 1,017-bed academic medical
center affiliated with the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine that provides a
comprehensive range of state-of-the-art patient care and has topped U.S. News
and World Report’s ranking of American hospitals for 16 consecutive years.
More than 108,000 patients visit the hospital’s Emergency Department and
urgent care centers every year. HealthMatics ED (www.allscripts.com/edis)
will integrate with existing hospital information systems to provide enhanced
communication, better management of high-risk patients, and improved access to
critical patient information both inside and outside the hospital.

According to Johns Hopkins, HealthMatics ED was selected because the
industry-leading Allscripts solution delivers comprehensive functionality with
a track record of success at hospitals across the country. Johns Hopkins 80
employed physicians in the Emergency Department and hundreds of support staff
will have access to an easy-to-use, comprehensive solution including single-
screen views of all Emergency Department activity, comprehensive patient
tracking and electronic medical records, real-time views of orders and
results, patient-specific decision support information, and risk management
tools enhancing patient safety and reducing medical errors.

Community physician members of the Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation
(JHHS) will be able to access Emergency Department records for their patients
through JHHS’s community-wide physician portal, which will receive Emergency
Department encounter information from HealthMatics ED. That connectivity
enables ambulatory physicians to quickly determine the treatment and
medications their patients received in the Emergency Department.

“Emergency Departments are a critical part of the care equation, both in
the urgent care they deliver and in the ability to inform care after the
immediate episode,” commented Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of
Allscripts. “By selecting HealthMatics ED, the Johns Hopkins Hospital, an
acknowledged pioneer and global leader in the delivery of high quality
healthcare, is providing their physicians with the technology tools they need
to make the best and safest treatment decisions and connect with the patient’s
on-going care.”

The Johns Hopkins Hospital will connect HealthMatics ED with its inpatient
health information system from Eclipsys, enabling interoperability of clinical
and financial information within the hospital.
