One Year Later: OrthoFlow Improves Workflow at Connecticut Children'ss Medical Center

Orthocrat developed OrthoFlow, a workflow solution, in response to a challenge from Connecticut Children'ss Medical Center. One year later, the orthopedics department is enjoying significant workflow improvement, allowing providers to focus exclusively on their patients: children in need of compassionate care.

Columbia, MD -- Orthocrat, Ltd. announced today that OrthoFlow, its workflow solution which was developed in response to a challenge from Connecticut Children'ss Medical Center, has completed its first year of successful operation, providing significant workflow improvements in the Department of Orthopedics.

With OrthoFlow, a busy clinician can walk into an exam room, swipe his ID badge, and immediately view the images for the patient who is waiting in the room. When the clinician leaves the room, another swipe of the badge HIPAA-locks the computer, with no sensitive information left open.

When asked about how Orthoflow affects his clinical practice, Jeffrey D. Thomson, M.D., Chairman of Orthopedics at Connecticut Children'ss, put it simply: With OrthoFlow, I can spend every second with your child, without having to fumble with computers first.

Tom Mooney, PACS Administrator at Connecticut Children'ss, expands on the benefits of OrthoFlow: Before we deployed OrthoFlow, our providers had to spend more than a minute per patient, having to log in, find the correct patient, and launching the images from our PACS system. During this period, the provider could not interact with the patient.

Now, all it takes is a swipe of the provider'ss badge, and the PACS images for that patient are instantly displayed, saving very significant time for the provider. Even better, the patient in the room cannot utilize the computer in any way, or see any other patient'ss information.

Zeev Glozman, Orthocrat'ss CEO, adds, When Connecticut Children'ss challenged us to develop such an application, we enthusiastically accepted the challenge. OrthoFlow has surprised us in its applicability in a wide variety of clinical settings, and we look forward to many more successful implementations.
