Fifth Emergency Department in St. Vincent Health to Implement Wellsoft EDIS
Somerset, NJ – June 26, 2006 – Wellsoft Corporation announces the expansion of the St. Vincent Health implementation to include Saint John’s Health System, the fifth Emergency Department in the system to install the Wellsoft EDIS.
Saint John’s Health System, a member of Ascension Health and St. Vincent Health, is in the process of a major expansion of the existing Emergency Department. By fall 2006, Saint John’s will unveil a state-of-the-art department that focuses on increased patient privacy, comfort and convenience. The installation of Wellsoft v10 will enhance the process, tracking patients from arrival through discharge, increasing patient safety and decreasing their length of stay.
Nancy Pitcock, Director of Nursing for Saint John’s Health System commented, "We are excited to implement the Wellsoft product to improve patient flow through the ED and improve communications between physicians, nurses and other departments."
Wellsoft Corporation’s John Santmann, President and CEO, added, “We’re delighted to expand our successful relationship with St. Vincent Health and support patient care in the Saint John’s Emergency Department. Wellsoft v10 will enable clinicians’ access to Emergency Department patient records, regardless of which of the hospitals patients were treated in, and will enhance continuity of care across the health system.”
