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 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Ann, Just a suggestion....My department (PT, OT, and ST) customized the system. We dictated evals and this was transcribed directly into the system. We developed blank screens for daily notes with 'today's charge' and 'total time spent' with the patient to be entered by the therapist. The therapist had to type in a brief note underneath. We used a flow sheet for modalities and exercises performed. Wanted to customize a screen for this, but never got around to it before I left the facility. It worked well with minimal doc. time. Matt Dvorak, PT ________________________________ From: O'Donnell, Ann Sent: Wed 12/29/2004 10:53 AM To: 'PTManager ' Subject: RE: Meditech 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.
