Bermuda Hospitals Board Introduces Electronic Medical Charting With MEDHOST At Its Emergency Care Facilities

Electronic system removes paper processes to streamline workflow and enhance
patient care documentation

ADDISON, Texas--(Business Wire)--
MEDHOST, provider of the leading Emergency Department Information System (EDIS),
today announced that the Bermuda Hospitals Board (BHB) has introduced MEDHOST`s
full-suite software at its King Edward VII Memorial Hospital (KEMH) and new Lamb
Foggo Urgent Care Centre (UCC). As Bermuda`s only hospital and urgent care
center, shifting to the electronic system removes manual, paper processes and
revolutionizes the way BHB prioritizes and documents patient care. BHB chose
MEDHOST because of the system`s user-friendly design, customization capabilities
and numerous integration successes.

With MEDHOST`s intuitive touch screen technology, the clinicians at KEMH and the
Lamb Foggo UCC are able to quickly and easily document patient care, which
improves accuracy, reduces the chance for errors, and brings new levels of
efficiency and patient care.

"We selected MEDHOST after seeing the system fully operational during a site
visit and receiving an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from that
hospital`s clinical staff. They spoke highly of MEDHOST`s ease of use and
ongoing support, and these were key criteria for our vendor selection," said Dr.
Roslyn Bascombe-Adams, ED deputy director at KEMH. "Most important, we witnessed
first-hand the system`s versatility and the operational efficiencies it
delivers. It became abundantly clear that with MEDHOST, we could accomplish our
productivity and patient satisfaction goals. Since implementation we have found
that the printed Discharge Instructions have been especially appreciated by our
patients."

By eliminating manual, paper-based processes, KEMH and the Lamb Foggo UCC gain
numerous benefits, including robust data and customizable reports that monitor
key performance indicators, giving ED management a way to proactively identify
and mitigate potential process breakdowns. Other MEDHOST features include a
Patient Tracking module that offers real-time notifications about each patient`s
status, an automatic Charge Capture feature that calculates charges as care is
documented, and risk mitigation tools such as automatic allergy checking and
drug-drug interaction alerts.

"MEDHOST shares the Bermuda Hospitals Board`s commitment of changing the way
emergency care is delivered. We`re excited to help both facilities transition to
automated processes and achieve their productivity and patient care goals," said
Craig Herrod, president and CEO of MEDHOST. "This marks MEDHOST`s second
deployment outside the continental U.S., an exciting milestone for the company,
and we`re eager to deliver the same value and results as we`ve provided to
hundreds of other facilities."

MEDHOST currently serves more than 170 facilities, including Catholic Healthcare
West in California, Catholic Health System in New York, Tenet Healthcare
Corporation and several academic facilities across the U.S. MEDHOST is the
preferred EDIS provider of VHA Inc., a national cooperative serving more than
