Shizuoka Cancer Center Visiting Nurse Service of New York Electronic Medical Record System Enhances Patient Care and Efficiency Bringing the Caring Home — with Tablet PCs “We Bring the Caring Home.” That’s the motto of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, a non-profit organization that provides home healthcare services to over 24,000 patients a day. By equipping its visiting nurses and field clinicians with Fujitsu’s Tablet PCs, the organization has enabled them to spend more time providing care in patients’ homes and less time filling out paperwork. At Shizuoka Cancer Center, medical and nursing staff are using Fujitsu’s Electronic Medical Record solution in concert with advanced medical equipment and facilities to provide superlative patient care. The solution enables doctors, nurses and other caregivers to instantaneously access all relevant medical information on a patient, including diagnostic imagery. Not only has this improved the business efficiency of information exchange within the Center, but it has facilitated higher quality care by enabling medical staff to establish closer connections with their patients. Now, as the nurses make their daily rounds to patients’ homes, they have all the information they need right at their fingertips. Patient records, including medical and care history, medications, and insurance information, are just a few clicks away. Nurses can go online for information on drug efficacy and side effects, enabling them to give clear explanations to their patients. And they can input detailed descriptions of changes in a patient’s symptoms to In addition, because the system can extend to include regional medical institutions or family doctors in other areas via Internet connection, the Center can offer patients greater peace of mind knowing that they have access to a comprehensive healthcare environment. Our Electronic Medical Record solution is helping to enhance patient care and efficiency. 12
