Health
Care Diversified Services Ltd. Dr. Mark Lindsay-Mersman knows that numbers are the bottom line for managed health care organizations. As a consulting generalist to St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, Missouri, Mersman recognizes the constant pressure they have to reduce costs. Hospital staff and consultants are always on the lookout to reduce paperwork, particularly in the area of patient charting. Since St. John’s has personal computers on every floor and every ward, Mersman sees DropChute instant information delivery software as a way for doctors to pull chart electronically from the chart room. DropChute ability to send information directly through modems, a hospital Internet, or the Internet provides a lot of flexibility for doctors working within the hospital and off site. The security in DropChute, which includes user authentication, point-to-point delivery and encryption during transmission, ensures that patient records are kept confidential—a prime consideration of hospitals and physicians in light of recent HIPAA requirements for electronic transfer. Mersman also thinks DropChute can help them in their transplant operations. It’s important for St. John’s to get all the medical charts and needed information on donors and recipients to the harvesting facility and the patient facility. Since time is critical, DropChute’s compression speeds the transmission of medical records, and security of the medical charts is maintained through its user-authentication and varying levels of encryption. The quality of original documents and images is also ensured, replacing some of the varying results they currently obtain through faxing the information. |
