MEDHOST, Inc. is the provider of the Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) that is used by many ER departments. It consists of Patient Tracking, Nurse Charting, Physician Documentation, Order Entry and comprehensive reporting.

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.

MEDHOST currently serves more than 160 facilities, including the Baylor Healthcare System in Texas, Catholic Healthcare West in California, Catholic Health System in New York and Tenet Healthcare Corporation. MEDHOST is the preferred EDIS provider of VHA Inc., a national cooperative serving more than 2,400 not-for-profit healthcare organizations. MEDHOST easily integrates with leading hospital information systems, including MEDITECH, Cerner, Siemens and McKesson.

MEDHOST EDIS version 4.2 is a CCHIT Certified® 08 Emergency Department Electronic Health Record.
