RE: Rehab Software that interfaces with Meditech (suggestions needed)

[Guest guest]

The best I have done is to have our transcription services flow into

meditec and allow e signatures for both PT's and Doctors.

Everything else is as you indicate. I have spent many hours building

the " work - arounds " of which you speak.

Rehab Software that interfaces with Meditech

(suggestions needed)

Our hospital has just went live with Meditech (today) & what we've seen

all along has proven to be true...Meditech has not planned for the

special needs of outpatient rehabilitation (PT/OT/ST). We've tried to

make the best of work-arounds & systems that are more like hurdles than

work-savers. As a hospital we cannot use some of the other good rehab

software systems b/c they don't interface.

Is there anyone out there who is using a product for rehab that

interfaces with Meditech & that you are happy with? If so would you

share any thoughts you may have? I am beginning my research into

options, but this list has such an amazing group of resources, I would

be remiss if I didn't ask. Feel free to email or call me if you prefer.

Thank you!
