Casey House has submitted the survey to determine their HIMSS level now that the B Sharp platform has been implemented. HIMSS is a global, cause-based, not-for-profit organization focused on better health through information technology. Currently, there are only 9 hospitals at Stage 6 and 2 Stage 7 HIMSS accredited hospitals in Canada.Robert Lazar, CEO of B Sharp said, \"Many small inpatient settings have not been able to adapt EHR solutions because of the costs associated with this. They either have to partner with a larger organization to use their system that may not meet their exact requirements or continue to use paper. The B Sharp solution allows for the implementation of a full comprehensive EHR system that we believe is up to HIMSS 7 standards.\"The project is the focus of an article in the November 2017 edition of Canadian Healthcare Technology entitled Casey House goes from paper-based care to paperless EHR in 18 months. Adil Ali, IT manager at Casey House noted in the article that because Casey House made maximum use of the functionality of the B Care solution, \"…the resulting transformation in care processes and outcomes at Casey House may very well qualify it as a Stage 7 hospital in the HIMSS Analytics EMRAM program.\"The B Sharp platform is designed to achieve maximum clinical utility and support high-quality reporting and decision support.Read this press release on SEDAR.About VitalHubVitalHub delivers an innovate platform for the creation of mobile health applications that increases productivity within healthcare settings.
