MEDHOST’s touch screen design, user-friendly interface and ability to customize content to the site’s needs ensure a short learning curve among physicians, making caring for patients in the ED a lot easier.

For example, MEDHOST’s Order Entry solution enables bedside physician order placement, so physicians are able to spend more time with patients and provide an intimate and positive care experience.
“We value our Customers’ feedback and insight to help us continue to address the end-user’s needs when developing new applications for our EDIS,” said Craig Herrod, president and CEO of MEDHOST. “We are committed to providing our Customers with an easy to use solution and take pride in knowing that MEDHOST is considered the choice EDIS among emergency physicians because of the look, feel, functionality and results that MEDHOST provides.”
