Emergency room pilot program identifies other life-threatening situations while in queue, answer questionnaire

Newport News, VA - November 6, 2006

It is widely known that time spent in emergency rooms can be better utilized by both the hospital and the patient. A timely solution is the patient management pilot program that has the emergency visitor answering critical pre-prepared bi-lingual questions while in queue. An emergency room computer is specifically set up with PrimeCare’s list of critical pre-prepared questions that identifies other potentially life-threatening healthcare situations the patient or hospital may not be aware of. Doctors at other institutions report seeing two more patients an hour and that the PrimeCare Patient Management System helps to save lives.


While waiting to see the Doctor, the patient-in-queue is directed to fill out the questionnaire. Upon completion, a report is generated containing the current problems, medications and allergies, all positive and significant adverse subjective responses, vital signs, and a list of the diagnostic considerations and differential diagnoses. This report is then used by the emergency room staff and Doctor to treat the patient. The interview modules are fully bi-lingual and can be read and answered English or Spanish. A single keystroke changes the questions and responses from/to English or Spanish.


The hospital then interfaces with the System documenting tests taken, test results, assessment, treatments, prescriptions, follow-up instructions, the physician's decision-making process and diagnoses, and procedures performed. This report is available online only to the hospital’s physicians and nurses.
