Introduction

MEDHOST was formed in 1997 to provide the healthcare industry with management applications that are easy to learn, use and implement. Until that time, EDIS technologies were a rarity, as ED doctors and nurses generally recorded charges and important information by hand, spending more time on paperwork than with patients.Designed by clinicians to eliminate the features that can impede care and put patients at risk, MEDHOST EDIS has touch screen user interface, free of regular software features such as drop-down menus, dialogue boxes, multiple key strokes.

MEDHOST EDIS also allows its clients to customize the final layout and templates of the system. A tool kit integrated with EDIS thus provides flexibility to modify the software without altering their existing work procedures in ED. MEDHOST’s ED Pass kiosk is another new add-on enhancing the existing capabilities of EDIS. It enables self-check-in, automatically screens for high-risk conditions and feeds information into the MEDHOST EDIS to expand visibility to the waiting room and improve patient safety.
