FAIRFIELD, NJ: ISH, Inc. announced
today the completion of a successful Perioperative
process improvement through the implementation
of GE Centricity Perioperative Manager at Bristol
Hospital in Connecticut. The go-live is the culmination
of a strategic initiative to improve operational
and financial performance in Perioperative Services.
Utilizing ISH’s proprietary “Operational
Foundation Implementation Track” which leverages
ISH’s SolutionSets and Best Practice Workflow
and Setup Templates developed from numerous ORIS
implementations; the initiative was completed
in an expedited time frame with reduced costs
while still delivering desired outcomes. In concert
with the implementation, ISH helped Bristol develop
a documented future state business flow and a
defined data model that will support the documentation
and reporting needs of Perioperative Services.
The implementation included new processes and
functionality for Scheduling, ADT communication
and the OR Charging interface. In the near future,
it will include an Item Master interface plan
to support case costing. Also incorporated into
the project was the implementation of a new Rules
Based Scheduling process. Phase II implementation
will include clinical documentation for Intraop
Services, Custom Reporting and Information Access,
and the implementation of a new internal communication
process.
According to Robert Rose, RN, MS, Vice President
of Patient Services for Bristol Hospital, “We
are thrilled with how smoothly the installation
of our new GE Centricity Perioperative Manager
and go-live process has gone with the help of
the ISH team. This comprehensive resource management
tool will streamline surgical workflow and dramatically
increase efficiencies and productivity, as well
as simplify many of the daily challenges that
exist in this complex environment. In addition,
we now have access to real-time clinical and business
information which ultimately helps us provide
better patient care and positive outcomes for
our patients.”
