Somerset, NJ – May 10, 2005 – One of the nation’s 100 most wired health systems, Marquette General Hospital has selected Wellsoft Corporation to provide patient tracking, clinical documentation, order entry, results and enhanced charge capture in its new Emergency Department. Building on a reputation for investing in innovative information technology, Marquette General Health System is automating a new Emergency Department and Trauma Center. A federally designated Regional Referral Center and Upper Michigan's largest health care services provider, Marquette General Hospital is currently constructing a new 20,000 sq ft Emergency Department, including both urgent care and observation areas. Goals of the new Emergency Department focus on maintaining a high standard of care by focusing on efficiency and patient flow. Wellsoft v10 will provide the tool to help achieve these goals. "MGHS conducted a thorough EDIS search that included all Healthcare IT vendors offering an ED solution. Wellsoft quickly rose to the top of the pack because of its full breadth of functionality, adherence to industry standards such as HL7, and their willingness to work with us to meet our particular needs as a regional medical center. They are truly a "best of breed" application that we believe will fit well into our IT environment, and move us further along toward our goal of achieving an enterprise-wide electronic health record," said Ken Stewart, MT (ASCP), Project Systems Analyst. Marquette General Hospital will implement an extensive array of Wellsoft v10 functionality and interface with ancillary systems such as lab, radiology, EKG and Vitals.
