American HealthTech now one of three CPSI healthcare IT
companies serving the community of Kearny County
American HealthTech (AHT), a wholly owned subsidiary of CPSI
(NASDAQ: CPSI), today announced that AHT has been selected to
provide comprehensive electronic health records (EHR) software
solutions for High Plains Retirement Village. Owned and operated by
Kearny County, High Plains Retirement Village and Kearny County
Hospital provide healthcare services spanning the full care
continuum – including inpatient, clinic and emergency department,
along with home health, long-term care and assisted living
services.
With the selection of AHT, Kearny County, located about 230
miles west of Wichita, will now partner with the CPSI-family of
healthcare IT companies to deliver integrated EHR solutions and
services across the acute, ambulatory and post-acute care settings
to the community of Lakin and the surrounding area. Kearny County
uses the Evident EHR solution, Thrive, in the hospital setting, and
utilizes TruBridge consulting services across the organization,
completing the full care spectrum within the CPSI family of
companies. AHT will deliver clinical management, point of care and
resident accounting solutions to High Plains Retirement
Village.
The Kansas nursing facility looks to improve integration and
increase both productivity and agility, allowing their providers to
deliver the best quality care to the residents and communities they
serve.
Susan Stingley, chief nursing officer of Kearny County Hospital,
said that their positive experience with Evident was one of the
reasons they initially considered American HealthTech for their
nursing facility, but as they completed a thorough EHR review, it
was the solution and its capabilities that stood out.
“The solution we were using met our basic needs, but we needed
an EHR that would provide greater efficiencies and more robust
reporting capabilities,” said Stingley. “An added benefit of
transitioning to AHT was the integration with the Evident EHR,
Thrive, which will help ensure a much smoother transition.
“The AHT solution proved to be intuitive and easy to use, with
processes like signing off on physician orders being very easy to
complete. We find that the less time our providers spend in front
of the computer, the more time they can spend with our residents,
which leads to providing better care and an improved overall
experience.”
Boyd Douglas, president and chief executive officer of CPSI,
said, “We are pleased to bring our integrated solutions across the
acute, ambulatory and post-acute care settings to the community of
Kearny County. Helping to create healthier, financially stronger
and more vital communities – like Kearny County – is what CPSI and
our family of companies work hard to do every day.”
