01 June, 2006 – Midway, UT—Correctional facilities typically save more than 10 hours a week per full-time staff member using CorEMR, according to studies conducted recently among CorEMR's current users. These time savings, along with the costs facilities typically spend on paper charts and medications, ranslates to more than $120,000 to $176,600 a year for an average 500-bed facility to switch to CorEMR.
Built specifically for correctional facilities, CorEMR saves medical staff significant time in doing their day-to-day operations. A few examples include saving time pulling and locating charts, printing off paper MARs and labels, noting off doctor's orders, completing intake forms and generating release/transfer forms. CorEMR studies show that existing customers save more than 10 hours per week per full-time medical staff member.
"When you add the time that is saved from medical staff to the costs associated with supplies for paper charts and the costs associated with ordered medications, CorEMR saves facilities hundreds of thousands of dollars each year" , said Jonathan Burton, Vice President of CorEMR. "We knew our system saved a lot of time and money, but it's nice to have real numbers from our existing customers to support our great product."
