Merge Healthcare, a provider of clinical systems and innovations that seek to transform healthcare, entered into an agreement to provide its Merge Hemo solution to Baptist Health System of Birmingham, Alabama.
“We are excited to improve patient safety and coordination of care as well as enhance our clinician’s experience by partnering with Merge,” says Dr. Chris Davis, Chief Information Officer and Chief Medical Informatics Officer, Baptist Health System. “Integrating the hemodynamic procedural documentation directly into [our EHR] reduces duplicative documentation, and also makes it immediately available to other clinicians. Workflow will be further streamlined through patient scheduling and integrated lab results.”
Baptist Health of Birmingham was seeking technology that would streamline its workflows and monitor patients throughout their entire cardiac procedure. Using Merge Hemo, the cardiology teams at Princeton Baptist Medical Center, Shelby Baptist Medical Center and Walker Baptist Medical Center will be able to leverage a centralized, web-based system for report generation and distribution.
“Baptist Health System and its cardiologists want to simplify their workflow in order to free up time to dedicate to patient care and enhanced outcomes,” says Justin Dearborn, Chief Executive Officer, Merge Healthcare.
