EMR in the ED

Have used T-charts on paper and they also have an EMR version - very nice and easy to use.


Have used IDX (originates from Texas) and though it was fine, it didn't integrate into the hospital system - this is a biggie for continuity of care.

The big (700+) bed hospital in my area is going to Epic - haven't had my training on it but it is suposed to be seamless from ER to admission to discharge.

McKesson puts out several products and they are all similar but the charting looks kinda weird because of the "preprogrammed" sentences!

We looked into the IDEX or IDX system when we purchased our TSystems system but like others stated, it didn't talk to our hospital system which is Carecast (used to be Lastword). While it does have some downfalls the TSystem EMR system is nice and easy to use.

Our billing dollars skyrocketed with the electronic charting and we actually are better at checking boxes that Jcaho wants checked...

Would be great if you could look at a few systems and talk to the users and IT dept's to find out the issues they have had and make sure it talks to any of the systems you already have in place.

We use FirstNet!!! LOVE it!!!!!!!!!

We had Ibex.....loved it! and upgraded ( what a joke) to Meditech....its horrible!

T-System! The Ferrari of EMR systems.

The rest like CERNER and Wellsoft are like Yugo's by comparison.
