Neurological Services of Orlando Implements Waiting Room Solutions’ EHR

Neurological Services of Orlando announced that it is about to implement a new Web-based neurology-specific electronic health record (EHR) system, designed by the Goshen, New York-based Waiting Room Solutions (WRS).
Neurological Services of Orlando appeared for the first time 11 years ago. The facility includes four physicians; each has a certain specialty in neurology, which are epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, sleep disorders and memory testing. The practice also has one nurse, and it offers its services 5 days every week. The facility has been mainly using paper-formatted documents through its operations. Yet, with the implementation of the WRS electronic health record and practice management (PM) system, Neurological Services of Orlando will promote its turning into electronic-based operations.
After evaluation and assessments, the 2011 Waiting Room Solutions Web Based EHR and Practice Management System V4.0 received a recognition as a fully CCHIT Certified 2011 Ambulatory EHR. The solution also has an extra certification for Child Health, along with a rating of 4 stars for usability. The implementation of this system allow facilities to fulfill the "meaningful use" criteria designed previously by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which means that such facilities will be qualified for the incentive program offered by the US government as per the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA).

A New Platform For CT Scanners Helps In The Reduction Of Radiation Dose

digital radiography newsA hospital crew has used a new technology platform for computed tomography (CT) scanners in order to aid them to carry out CT tests quickly and more accurate than before besides making the dose as low as possible.


Lower radiation doses and shorter examination times are considered useful for patients as the system performs a lot of operating procedures, besides suggesting parameter settings for picture quality and dose reduction, and standardizes operations that make results more readily reproducible.  During scanning and in the preparation of picture rebuilding, the FAST CARE applications from Siemens Healthcare simplify workflows. The improvements aid service providers and CT operators to develop their productivity.
