Physician Quotes
Dr. Clark Headrick, DO
"I use The Wellness Connection everyday now … I can access it from anywhere… I can see multiple charts for a patient, including the previous visits. Because there is immediate accessibility, I find there is no 'lost chart'. I don't have to try to locate the chart on the floor if it is not in medical records which often used to happen. I have more rapid access to reports such as lab and radiology than the other systems, especially on the floor. In addition, it assists us in our billing process, making it faster."
Dr. Dennis Pank, MD
"With the Wellness Connection available, I am able to access my patient information at home or in the office. I am able to review past admissions for review, access patient demographics, laboratory and x-ray information. I remember how surprised a nurse was when called the unit from home regarding my patient with Wellness, I actually had access to lab results before the results hit the unit."
Dr. Kenneth Yokosawa, MD
"I use Wellness all of the time.....with the web-based access I use Wellness to review my personal and group census while making rounds in the hospital with my wireless laptop, at home and when I am seeing patients in my office. What makes Wellness so valuable is the patient data. I can view radiology reports and laboratory results within 30 minutes of the completed tests.”
