Assignment #3

     The TriStar Health System uses information technologies to better their services in the form of Meditech, PACS, Muse, and Powerscribe. Those are merely some among the many information systems used in the TriStart Health network.

     Meditech allows for physicians to have up-to-date information on their patients as soon as the data is inserted into the system. Abnormal results are alerted to the physician, and the physicians themselves can electronically sign forms instead of having to go to a records office.

     PACS is used to capture, transerm display, and store digital information in a medical imaging environment.

     Muse is a critical care monitoring system.

     Powerscribe is used to reduce transcription for radiologists via voice recognition system.

     TriStar is the regions largest healthcare provider, and because of information systems such as these, they are allowed to share information with their network of hospitals resulting in reduced costs for not only the company, but the patients as well.
