iMDsoft to install MetaVision clinical information system across Queensland's network of public hospitals

Oct 6 2010

iMDsoft^® announced today that the Government of Queensland has signed an agreement to install MetaVision^® in selected ICUs across the state's network of public hospitals. MetaVision will be installed in 14 hospitals and will be implemented in a diverse range of ICU settings including pediatric, neurology and cardiac units. The university-affiliated Gold Coast Hospital will be the first to implement MetaVision under this agreement.

“As governments all over the world pursue e-health reforms to standardize care and reduce costs, they require a truly scalable, unified system to advance their goals.”

Queensland, Australia's second largest state by area, sought an enterprise solution to facilitate care standardization and enforcement of clinical best practices throughout its complex hospital network. MetaVision was selected as the single electronic patient record for the network's ICUs, replacing paper records and competing software systems. With centralized configuration management, MetaVision will enable hospitals to enhance operational efficiency through access to common data with consistent terminology.

MetaVision has a proven track record of region-wide implementations. Queensland Health chose the iMDsoft system for its unique architecture, enabling state-wide standardization while meeting the diverse workflow needs of individual hospitals. MetaVision's ability to improve patient safety, its advanced decision support tools, and the capacity to analyze and report clinical data for quality improvements and research were additional key factors in the selection.

MetaVision automatically creates a complete electronic patient record, arming healthcare professionals with timely, accurate, actionable information. Hospitals worldwide use MetaVision to improve care quality, enhance financial results, support research and promote compliance with government, payor, and hospital protocols.

"We are excited to provide Queensland with a comprehensive, state-wide clinical information system for its ICUs" said Phyllis Gotlib, CEO, iMDsoft. "As governments all over the world pursue e-health reforms to standardize care and reduce costs, they require a truly scalable, unified system to advance their goals."
