The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore is a 1,017-bed academic medical center affiliated with the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine that provides a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art patient care and has topped U.S. News and World Report’s ranking of American hospitals for 16 consecutive years. More than 108,000 patients visit the hospital’s Emergency Department and urgent care centers every year. HealthMatics ED (www.allscripts.com/edis) will integrate with existing hospital information systems to provide enhanced communication, better management of high-risk patients, and improved access to critical patient information both inside and outside the hospital.

According to Johns Hopkins, HealthMatics ED was selected because the industry-leading Allscripts solution delivers comprehensive functionality with a track record of success at hospitals across the country. Johns Hopkins 80 employed physicians in the Emergency Department and hundreds of support staff will have access to an easy-to-use, comprehensive solution including single- screen views of all Emergency Department activity, comprehensive patient tracking and electronic medical records, real-time views of orders and results, patient-specific decision support information, and risk management tools enhancing patient safety and reducing medical errors.

Community physician members of the Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation (JHHS) will be able to access Emergency Department records for their patients through JHHS’s community-wide physician portal, which will receive Emergency Department encounter information from HealthMatics ED. That connectivity enables ambulatory physicians to quickly determine the treatment and medications their patients received in the Emergency Department.

“Emergency Departments are a critical part of the care equation, both in the urgent care they deliver and in the ability to inform care after the immediate episode,” commented Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts. “By selecting HealthMatics ED, the Johns Hopkins Hospital, an acknowledged pioneer and global leader in the delivery of high quality healthcare, is providing their physicians with the technology tools they need to make the best and safest treatment decisions and connect with the patient’s on-going care.”

The Johns Hopkins Hospital will connect HealthMatics ED with its inpatient health information system from Eclipsys, enabling interoperability of clinical and financial information within the hospital.
