Runnymede Healthcare Centre in Ontario, Canada
Not too long ago, Runnymede Healthcare Centre in Ontario, Canada, used to be a completely paper-based health system, which made it difficult for patients and physicians to seamlessly navigate the organization.
THE PROBLEM
One of the organization s biggest problems was a lack of access to actionable, real-time patient data, which made it challenging for staff to make prompt, informed decisions and easily communicate across the care continuum.
In addition, a lack of medication automation and distribution made processes arduous and had the potential to lead to medication errors.
PROPOSAL
Runnymede decided to partner with Humber River Hospital (HRH) to implement Meditech Expanse.
