With a “go-live” set for February 9th, CA Dean is the latest EMHS member hospital to join the “Together Project.” At its core, the “Together Project” is a shared electronic medical records system that allows for immediate access and collaboration of care among EMHS member hospitals. Currently Eastern Maine Medical Center (EMMC), Inland Hospital, Sebasticook Valley Hospital (SVH), The Acadia Hospital, and The Aroostook Medical Center (TAMC) are utilizing this technology, with Blue Hill Memorial Hospital joining later this year.
“The Together Project will enable CA Dean to work more efficiently and provide enhanced quality care and improved safety to our patients. The implementation will put electronic records at the fingertips of CA Dean caregivers as well as other clinical employees at member hospitals in a manner that protects patient confidential medical information,” stated Geno Murray, CA Dean’s President & CEO. If a CA Dean patient presents at another member hospital for care, that patient’s medical record is instantly accessible to the treating caregivers without a delay in care. Not only will CA Dean work more efficiently and cost effectively, the ultimate outcome will be greater patient safety. The standardization of clinical systems enables patient information to be available when and where it’s needed to support clinical decisions no matter where the patient seeks care in the EMHS system. |
