Benefits of Amelior EDTracker

Using Amelior EDTracker, you will decrease patient visit times, improve your department's efficiency, have access to extensive marketing information, be able to profile caregivers, increase your quality improvement activities, and increase your hospital's image of professionalism.

Decrease Visit Times

With the information provided by our system, your emergency department visit times decrease. Patients spend less time waiting, rooms turn over faster, and patient (and caregiver) frustrations associated with long visits decrease. Your ED's image will improve dramatically as the number one reason for patient frustration—long visits—is minimized, if not eliminated. Patients are more likely to remain your customers and to tell others about their positive experience.

Shorter visits also result in fewer patient complaints and less stress on caregivers, increasing employee satisfaction. The time management spends dealing with employee and patient complaints decreases dramatically. Finally, decreased visit times mean you can see more patients with the same resources, increasing revenue without increasing fixed costs.

Improve Efficiency

How much time do your caregivers waste looking for information and people? This is time not delivering care, not increasing patient satisfaction, and not increasing revenues. Amelior EDTracker helps you eliminate this wasted time. The information caregivers need to get patients through the department as quickly as possible is available in an easy-to-understand format. The locations of patients are identified at a glance. Your highest paid staff members can focus on what they are paid to do.deliver care and generate revenue.

Access Marketing Information

Amelior EDLog provides you with invaluable data you can use to market your services better. You can instantly identify which family physicians are sending you patients and what type of patients they are sending (e.g., self pay versus insured). You can see which ambulance carriers are bringing you patients and which hospitals are transferring patients to you. With the information you receive from Amelior EDLog, you can target mailings, advertisements, and public relation activities. Marketing your services can be more of a science than you thought possible.

Profile Caregivers

Amelior EDLog's caregiver profiling capabilities let you quantify the care given in your ED by doctor or nurse. You can help limit tests that are not reimbursed by seeing which doctors are requesting tests for various complaints. You can improve patient satisfaction by identifying the doctors that are responsible for long visits and taking corrective action, and you can see which doctors are transferring patients out of your facility and why. You will have the numbers you need to quantify the performance of those most responsible for the care given in your emergency department.

Increase Your Quality Improvement Activities

The concept behind QI is to quantify the activities in your department and work to improve those numbers. However, those numbers can be inaccurate, time consuming (or impossible) to develop, and delivered in such an untimely fashion as to be useless. The Amelior EDTracker system changes all of that. Information is captured passively with Amelior EDTracker's use of infrared technology, interfaces, touchscreen technology, handheld devices, and easy-to-use screens.

Reports are then generated with just a few mouse clicks. You can see how long visits are taking by caregiver, complaint, diagnosis, test ordered, and disposition. You will know how many patients you are seeing on average per hour, day, week, month, quarter, or year. Which procedures are being performed and the charge levels assigned are all captured and reported.

A complete and accurate picture of your emergency department is at your fingertips at all times. True quality improvement will finally be possible.

Increase Image of Professionalism

The use of Amelior EDTracker tells your customers that you are committed to using the best technology available to help them. What they see is a hospital that knows how important time is to its patients and is aggressive in using the latest technology to care for patients. Your emergency department looks better. Your hospital looks better. Ultimately, your bottom line looks better.
