Bed Ready

The team from IWT has delivered a solid product that we use every day to place patients at New Hanover Regional Medical Center. Their ability to understand our processes, offer specific solutions, adapt to a changing environment and implement changes at a moment's notice has allowed us to get a handle on inpatient capacity management across our healthcare system.

"The BedReady system has been a tremendous asset in helping Genesys Health to improve the patient throughput process. We've been able to improve bed turnaround and place patients more quickly, and the communication aspects of the system have greatly reduced phone calls, allowing staff in multiple areas to use their time more efficiently."

Clinical Window and Uptime

"EAMC has utilized this product for close to 5 years. No system we have installed has functioned as reliably and has produced the positive results that Clinical Window has for our physicians and their offices. We utilize Clinical Window as our hospital downtime system as well as a real time source of financial and clinical information for physician offices. The support has been excellent from the very first usage."

- Tommy Chittom, CIO
  East Alabama Medical Center

"We have a long standing relationship with IWT, a company which has proven to deliver what they say they will, when they say they will, and at a very reasonable price. The IWT Uptime solution is the most practical solution we have found for providing high availability access to medically critical information, and eliminates the manual downtime chaos."

Patient Safety

"The IWT trial is an important step for Sunnybrook & Women's as we move toward our goal of becoming the safest hospital in Canada," says Dr. Ed Etchells, primary investigator for the trial and director of Sunnybrook & Women's Patient Safety Service. "It shows that we are committed to finding ways to improve our patient care.

"The New IWT system will also improve staff efficiency, as it can automatically monitor patients' conditions, while continuously scanning for problems that meet predefined guidelines," Sam Marafioti, vice president, corporate strategy and development and chief information officer. "Staff will be able to use the time saved to address other high-priority concerns."

PDA Clinical Window

"I have been using my pocket pc for a little over a month now. Making hospital rounds has become easier and faster. I can access my patient list, vitals, labs, radiology and transcription reports by signing on just once. When patients want to know a certain lab/x-ray results, I can access it right from the room and they are impressed."

- Suresh Gupta, M.D.
 Genesys Health

"I was able to access the labs from my office and do a work up on a possible GI for one my patients. Because of having that information we realized a cost saving of $1000 in the first week of using the system. My rounding time is more efficient, I don't have to fight for a PC to get to the patients information. We have a higher patient and physician satisfaction by showing the patient their results or information immediately."

- Kenneth Steibel, M.D.
  Chief of Medical Staff, Genesys Health

"I was amazed that I could review patient test results so easily while standing next to a patient. The reports are formatted and test results are graphed making the information very easy to read even on a PDA. I've been using this system for a couple of months and can't imagine practicing without this tool."

- Steven Cogswell, MD
  Genesys Health

"The most significant advantage of PDA123 application is that it provides critical patient information at the point-of-care. In addition, this application provides patient information much quicker than paper does. For example, one of my patients was seen in the emergency department yesterday - It could be a couple of days before all of the paper results hit the chart, with PDA123, results are instantly available and the tests are completed."

Charge Capture

"A significant benefit of PDA Clinical Window is the electronic charge capture option. Very conveniently, as I see patients, I can record charges on my PDA that are sent to my billing staff everyday. Last month alone, my practice captured an additional $30,000 in charges that previously would have been missed with a paper process."
