MediComm Patient Flow System Integrates with Centricity Physician Office Practice Management System

Visionary Systems announces new Reception Desk Software that integrates its MediComm exam room management system with Centricity’s Patient scheduling module.

(PRWEB) January 30, 2006 -- Visionary Systems announces new Reception Desk Software that integrates its MediComm exam room management system with Centricity’s Patient scheduling module.

Centricity, the industry's leading practice management software, can now forward patient information to Visionary System's MediComm exam room management system.

When the receptionist checks a patient in using Centricity, the patient's name and the name of their physician are automatically sent to the MediComm system. The MediComm system then keeps track of patients as they are assigned to exam rooms, taken to the x-ray suite, or to the lab for blood work. Throughout these movements within the office, the MediComm system maintains the proper priority of the patient relative to other patients.

Norma Morrison, vice president of operations at Foundry Sports Medicine and Fitness in Providence, Rhode Island says “One of our concerns coming to our new office was the communication from the front desk to the patient treatment area. The MediComm system handles this without extra steps or wasted time in walking up front, and eliminates confusion if a medical assistant/x-ray tech is busy and does not hear an overhead page. The MediComm system is foolproof and has exceeded our expectations.”

The heart of the MediComm system is an LCD touch screen mounted at the back nurse's desk. Along with a full floor plan of the exam room status, the MediComm system displays a list of patients in the waiting room. Using the touch screen, a staff member assigns patients an exam room, which alerts the doctor that the patient is ready. Modules outside each exam room display the name of the patient in the room, as well as which room the doctor should go to next. User defined pushbuttons on the modules allow the doctor to call for additional services such as an x-ray, medical assistant, or lab tech.

Morrison added “We no longer use paper charts. But without the chart on the door, the doctors wouldn't have known the name of the patient in the exam room. The MediComm system not only lets the doctor know who is in the room, but also the order of rooms to visit - even if a patient left the exam room for an x-ray, and is now back and awaiting the results. Our staff always knows what to do and where to go next.”
