Connectivity Solutions

Backus Hospital knows the importance of delivering patient test results to physicians in a timely and efficient manner. Backus offers several data connectivity solutions to affiliated physician offices.
Backus provides physicians and their staff computer access to all Backus information systems. Providers, with appropriate security, will have access to the hospital's electronic medical record (Meditech EMR), Philips iSite PACS, OB TraceVue, MUSE, and the hospital Intranet. Providers can view patient test results online, eliminating paper and phone calls. Our secure web-based portal, called Backus On-Line, allows access to Backus systems from home or office.

As a courtesy to our affiliated physicians, Backus will automatically deliver test results to a fax machine provided by Backus Hospital. Paper, toner, and service are included. This solution eliminates the need for hospital departments to print results and place them in the physician mailboxes. Physicians will no longer need a courier to retrieve these paper copies.

When a practice has their own physician office EMR, Backus will provide an interface for delivering test results directly into their system. This solution includes the license fee, implementation fee, annual maintenance, and any alterations needed to accept the interface in the physician's EMR software.
Backus will provide physician practices with a hospital-approved physician office EMR that integrates with the Backus Hospital information system for streamlined clinical decision making. The hospital will pay up to 85% of the cost of software, support, training, maintenance & connectivity. The provider will pay the remaining 15% and 100% of all hardware costs.
**Note: Physicians must purchase their own phone switch, telephones, telephone wiring, and an appropriate, high-speed internet connection. Physicians must also purchase their own personal computer for their office management software and meet minimum requirements if using it to connect to Backus On-Line.
