Avoid the paper chase. Real-time, wireless patient documentation helps therapists save both time and money.

UNLABELLED

Good Shepherd Medical Center's physical therapy clinic, Longview, Texas.

PROBLEM

Streamlining documentation processes in hard-to-reach areas of an off-site facility.

SOLUTION

Implementing handheld, point-of-care devices for real-time documentation.

RESULTS

Reduction in the time and effort physical therapists spend on "back office" documentation procedures. KEYS TO SUCCESS. "With the wireless link the staff doesn't have to concern itself with technical terms, uploads and network logons. They just enter their information by answering pre-programmed prompts. The information flows over to the host computer in real time."
