MedHost EDIS receives CCHIT certification

The Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT) has certified MedHost's product, MedHost emergency department information system (EDIS) version 4.2, as a CCHIT Certified 08 emergency department EHR.

The Addison, Texas-based Medhost said its EDIS reduces medical errors, increases patient throughput, produces higher patient satisfaction scores and maximizes revenue. The company said its product has touch-screen navigation, IV infusion logic, risk alerts and an administrative ToolKit application that allows for changes to the software.
