Healthcare Management Systems, Inc. ® (HMS) announced today that it was selected by Delta Memorial Hospital to supply a full suite of financial and clinical solutions for the hospital and its rural health clinic. The new HMS system will provide much needed integration for the critical access hospital in Dumas, Ark., and will also include advanced clinical technology to help them achieve an electronic health record (EHR) for their patients.

“We are looking forward to implementing a hospital-wide information system that will enable us to provide more efficient patient services while ensuring all revenue streams for the hospital are captured,” says Cris Bolin, administrator for Delta Memorial Hospital.

Delta Memorial had been working with a financials-only hospital system from APS, as well as disparate pharmacy and laboratory systems, and found that they were in need of an enterprise-wide solution that would grow with them.

“We were looking to acquire a new system that would integrate our hospital, rural health clinic and home health agency, improve the quality of patient care and meet the federally mandated government regulations which will require us to provide electronic health records,” says Paula Smith, information technology director for Delta Memorial Hospital.

“HMS’ commitment to patient care quality and customer service and their ability to provide us with the vast amount of clinical and financial tools that will ensure greater efficiency is what led our hospital board in their unanimous decision to choose HMS,” Smith concluded.

“We are honored to have been selected by Delta Memorial to provide the technology and service solutions that will enable the organization to achieve their goals of providing quality care to the patients and families they serve while more efficiently managing their operations,” says Steve Starkey, senior vice president and chief operating officer for HMS.
