Max
Healthcare is ranked in top 5% worldwide for safety, quality of care and
efficiency in new global rating by HIMSS Analytics Asia
NEW DELHI, April 25, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- HIMSS
Analytics Asia announced Max Healthcare in India, has achieved Stage 6 on the
Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM).
Max Healthcare has been recognized for meeting all
criteria for a Stage 6 hospital in the deployment and use of clinical
information technology to improve patient safety, quality and efficiency. The
two facilities, which have reached this important milestone, include the Max
Super Speciality Hospital East Wing Saket and Max Super Speciality Hospital
West Wing Saket.
HIMSS Analytics developed the EMR Adoption Model in
2005 as a methodology for evaluating the progress and impact of electronic
medical record systems for hospitals in the HIMSS Analytics(R) Database.
Tracking their progress in completing eight stages (0-7), hospitals can review
the implementation and utilization of information technology applications with
the intent of reaching Stage 7, which represents an advanced electronic patient
record environment.
Putting the achievement into perspective, as of Q4
2011, just 5.2% of more than 5,300 hospitals in the United States tracked by
HIMSS Analytics had reached Stage 6 on its EMRAM.
"Congratulations to Max Healthcare for being
the first hospital in India to receive Stage 6 and leading the way on EMR
adoption," said Steven Yeo, General Manager, HIMSS Analytics Asia.
"Stage 6 represents an advanced level of sophistication and puts Max
Healthcare literally in a league of its own in India and amongst the top 5%
globally."
Max Healthcare has deployed several very strategic
clinical applications which have been shown to improve quality and safety, such
as:
- Computerized Practitioner Order Entry (CPOE) where physicians enter
patient orders directly into the clinical information system which interacts
with an intelligent clinical decision support system
- Physician Documentation supported by clinical decision support
- Closed Loop Medication Administration with the use of bar codes to verify
the right medication for the right patient at the right time in the right
strength and form
- Nursing Documentation online with some direct medical device connectivity
There is increasing evidence that points to
significant safety and quality improvements with clinical information systems.
"We believe Max Healthcare's commitment to
medical and service excellence and patient care is further strengthened by the
Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system at our hospitals. Our integrated
information systems empower the care providers in delivering world class
healthcare in a safe and effective manner. Being the first hospital in India to
have reached an advanced level of electronic patient record environment, we
take pride in our achievement of HIMSS Stage 6 Certification and at the same
time resolve to continuously work towards our endeavor to improve patient
care," said Dr. Ajay Bakshi, CEO & MD, Max Healthcare.
"The EMR implementation has been a
transformational project in which we redesigned some of the complex hospital
processes to focus on care delivery and patient safety. The organizational
change was directed, driven and monitored by the top management at Max and
involving teams of doctors, nurses and administrative staff. The Stage 6
certification is recognition of Max Healthcare's commitment and capability to
provide world class healthcare to our patients," said Dr. Neena Pahuja,
CIO, Max Healthcare.
The Max Healthcare will be honored with their Stage
6 Award at the HIMSS Asia Pac12 Conference which takes place at the Marina Bay
Sands in Singapore from 17-19 September 2012.
