CarePlus, our electronic health management system, enables physicians and clinicians to access patient information from labs, pharmacies, patient wards, patients’ bedsides, nurses’ stations, or physicians’ own office. Doctors can order tests or medications, review these results and confirm medication administration from their offices, stations within the hospital or via the Internet.

Nurses are relieved from the tedium of collating patient charts, reconfirming prescriptions with doctors, and other administrative tasks that currently demand one-third to one-half of their time. Freed from those burdens, nurses and doctors can spend more time on their real priority: delivering quality patient care.
