Chesterfield, MO., July 19, 2010: Unibased Systems Architecture, Inc. (Unibased) today announced Bay Area Hospital (BAH) in Coos Bay, Oregon successfully implemented the Unibased ForSite2020 periOperative Resource Management System (ORMS). BAH contracted with Unibased for the complete ForSite2020 surgery management system suite in December 2009 with the goal of achieving total perioperative automation and moving forward with their hospital-wide electronic health record (EHR) initiative. The implementation began in March 2010 following software delivery. Current files including patient demographics, clinical history, physician tables, and physician preference cards were converted and analyzed using state-of-the-art Unibased software. Bi-directional interfaces were created for current access management and material management systems based upon the Unibased systems integration HL7 libraries.
The project included surgery scheduling, preference card management, and post-case documentation, as well as the ForSite Analytics business intelligence tool. Work continues to progress with expanded perioperative nursing documentation, a case progress display and tissue tracking, which should be completed by the end of 2010. Future plans include integrating the system with an anesthesia management solution provided by Draeger Medical, Inc.
