Confluence Health Selects Merge Hemo(TM) to Maximize Workflow Efficiency
October 22 2013 - 7:00AM
Merge Healthcare Incorporated (Nasdaq:MRGE), a leading provider of
clinical systems and innovations that seek to transform healthcare,
today announced that Confluence Health-Central Washington Hospital
& Clinics, has implemented Merge Hemo to automate their cath
lab processes.
"Our old hemo system was causing delays in patient care, so we
knew it was time for a change," explained Derek Bergan, Director of
Medical Imaging at Confluence Health. "We already had a solid
relationship with Merge because of using their Merge PACS™
solution. Couple that with their high KLAS rankings two years in a
row for Merge Hemo, and it was an easy decision. You can't sustain
that level of performance unless you have a good product."
"We conduct 10-15 cases every day across three cath/EP labs. We
selected Merge Hemo because we needed a flexible, stable system
that would offer workflow efficiencies," added Amy Roe, BSN,
Cardiac Services Coordinator, at Confluence Health. "We also like
the ability to bar code our inventory, which gives us an accurate
and documented record of what we use in every case," added Brian
Stevens, RT(R), Lead Technologist at Confluence Health. Confluence
Health also liked the fact that Merge Hemo has the ability to
capture information through its touch-screen user interface at the
point of care and looks forward to integrating it with their Cerner
EHR in the near future.
"We are very proud of our Merge Hemo solution, which was ranked
#1 in KLAS in both 2011 and 2012. We take KLAS rankings very
seriously, and clearly so do providers like Confluence Health,"
said Justin Dearborn, CEO of Merge Healthcare. "As an
industry leader, we have worked diligently to ensure Merge Hemo
exceeds expectations not only in functionality but in training,
implementation and support."
Along with Merge Hemo, the Merge Cardiology suite also
includes Merge Cardio™, an enterprise-level image and
information system that provides a single point of entry to the
patient's complete cardio record spanning all cardiac
modalities.
For more than 20 years, Merge Cardiology Solutions have been
developed through a partnership with cardiologists and clinical
staff, providing systems and tools with workflow and reporting that
physicians are familiar with and comfortable using. This makes
adoption of these systems successful, so hospitals, labs and
patients can benefit from the efficiencies and cost savings that
come from best-of-breed information and imaging solutions.
