CHESTERFIELD, Mo.–(Business Wire)–
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) in Martinez, CA has successfully
implemented the Unibased ForSite2020 Surgery Management software solution. CRMC
converted from a Mediware surgery management system using Unibased automatic
conversion software. The new system will help Contra Costa Regional Medical
Center improve its operating room productivity and efficiency as well as help
improve patient safety. ForSite2020 Surgery Management will be interfaced to
both Keane for ADT and charges and to Meditech for materials management to
insure continuity of data collection, transmission, dissemination and integrity
throughout CCRMC.
The Unibased solution will enable CCRMC staff to capture all relevant clinical
and administrative data automatically as patients enter and pass through the
intraoperative environment of the hospital. The system is designed to help the
hospital optimize the use of nursing staff, supplies and operating room
schedules as well as the clinical care process. ForSite Analytics, the Unibased
advanced analytics/dashboard tool, will allow performance over time to be
measured and managed, thus contributing to CCRMC`s advances in providing best
practice cost effectively.
“We`re delighted with what this solution will do for Contra Costa Regional
Medical Center. We are particularly happy with being the first California
hospital to install the Unibased ForSite2020 Surgery Management System. We hope
that the Unibased Surgery Management software will perform precisely as we
expect,” said David Runt, Chief Information Officer. “Our clinical team is
genuinely excited by how it will help us improve efficiency and patient safety
while integrating with the other systems we have in place. Unibased has
delivered on what it promised, within the timeline and cost agreed upon.
Unibased is an extremely professional organization; one that delivers on all of
their promises. Over the next few months we expect to see the system delivering
its full potential, adding value within the organization and improving the
service we provide to patients.”
ForSite2020 Surgery Management is a fully integrated software solution for the
surgical continuum of care and reporting thus helping clinical staff to automate
documentation of care through the entire patient pathway, helping to reduce the
potential for errors. David Runt, CIO, said, “Unibased software will help us to
manage resources more effectively than ever before in the most critical areas of
the hospital. It makes it far easier for clinical teams to access information
and manage data, and it is a clear example of how the appropriate use of
information technology can help physicians improve clinical practice.”
“Every investment needs to demonstrate a strong return,” said David Runt. “The
implementation has gone extremely well, and over the coming months, management,
staff and patients at Contra Costa can expect to see the kind of benefits that
only a specialized perioperative information management system can help bring to
the surgical areas of the hospital.”
