MDWorks© for physician use
Physicians are bound by the same compliance and regulatory guidelines as other care providers. To help with these needs, IVS solutions include specific applications for physician use. These include:
				Hospitalist or physician hand-off
				Physician Admission Report
				MD Consult
In addition, physicians may access the Family Line© to leave medical updates for family members of their hospitalized patients.
As with other IVS solutions, use of MDWorks promotes these benefits:
				Ease of use
				Standardized report format
				Information is available to all appropriate physicians
				Interruptions are minimized
				Able to utilize MDWorks with the integrated medical record
At the SHM meeting in Dallas, TX Eric Rice, MD and Mary Hamilton, RN recently presented a case study of their implementation of a hospitalist-to-hospitalist report at Methodist Hospital, Omaha, NE. The project met all of their defined, essential objectives.
