computerized documentation

[Guest guest]

I am a director/instructor in a PTA program, and I just got through using a

" sample " Geri-Care Doc CD-ROM for two weeks. We plan to purchase it next

year for students to use. It has lots of good forms (I don't know how the

billing compares) and uses the language from The Guide. Call the 800# and

you can get a two weekk trial.

Last year APTA approved a product endorsement of Geri-Care documentation

system. A significant factor in this decision was the incorporation of

" Guide " language. When it was reviewed by staff and board members, while not

perfect, it was deemed a very sound system.

Our hospital is looking to replace its information system and has asked

each department for its requirements. I would like any information on

hospital-based computerized information systems for inpatients and

outpatients.

Some of the requirements that we are looking for are:

1. ability to enter charges with notes

2. patient side entry

3. ability to have preformatted forms that are medicare and JCAHO

compliant.

If you know of any programs out there, please let me know through this

bulletin board. Thanks in advance,
