Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Our Hospital has been using Meditech for years. Nursing and all inpatient therapy is documented directly into the system and has good success. I was wondering if anyone has had success designing and using Meditech for use in outpatient OT and PT. We currently use Meditech for scheduling in outpatient; however documentation is still done manually. I would love to break into the 21st century and use computer documentation. It appears that it would be difficult to build Meditech to accommodate the variety of forms/evals/progress notes etc.. that are necessary for outpatient therapy. Any feedback would be appreciated. We currently use Meditech 5.4.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 We too use Meditech for all Inpatient clinical documentation and love it. We also use Meditech for all Outpatient PT/OT/ST registration, scheduling, and billing. We do not use it for outpatient documentation as of yet as it would a major build to customize the screens for outpatient. Meditech has very detailed assessments for every joint, muscle, etc but would have to be re-organized to make efficient. Also, we would have to have the computer technology mobile to follow the therapist so they could document as they go. The nice thing about Meditech is that once you document it could automatically fax the documentation to the physician (has a fax server), also the POC with capability for physician electronic signature, and any other form letters you want populated with Meditech info. We will eventually go Meditech outpatient documentation but will require a lot of build. Ann Meditech Our Hospital has been using Meditech for years.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Shari, Our hospital uses Meditech, but we opted to build our own computerized documentation system using Microsoft Access for outpatient and home health, which has been very successful for us. It gives us complete control over form and report structure. If your needs are not terribly complex, you can have a custom system built to your specific needs at a minimum cost and no licensing requirements.
