Mercy is committed to providing the best possible care to its patients. That's why we rely on Mercy Technology Services (MTS) to support our mission. MTS plays a critical role in pioneering a new model of care by building and managing Mercy's gold star-rated Epic electronic health record, conducting groundbreaking work in data analytics to improve patient care, and ensuring easy access to Mercy services through the MyMercy patient portal, our website, on-site systems, and more. MTS' hard work has paid off. We're proud to announce that MTS was named one of the Most Wired by CHIME. But that's not all. One of MTS' most important duties is ensuring the availability and security of patient health records. That's why we invested $60 million in building a state-of-the-art data center in Washington, Missouri, with fail-safe features that can withstand a variety of natural events, power or water interruptions, and even building failures. Plus, a second data center in Sunset Hills, Missouri, runs every system in parallel to ensure maximum uptime. At Mercy, we believe that better data leads to better care. That's why we've been collecting clinical data for more than a decade. MTS' experts use cutting-edge analytics tools to learn from that data, finding which processes and products lead to better patient experiences. By doing so, we have reduced mortality rates by 50% for patients with heart failure, pneumonia, and colectomy patients. We are also preventing more than 17,000 unnecessary blood transfusions every year and decreasing the time it takes to administer a diuretic to patients with heart failure by nearly three hours. At Mercy, we're committed to providing the best possible care to our patients. And with MTS' help, we're making great strides towards that goal. hashtag hashtag #Healthcare hashtag hashtag #ITJobs hashtag hashtag #DataScience hashtag hashtag #Jobs hashtag hashtag #Analytics https://lnkd.in/gDAi4X8s

Honoring Sacrifice, Advancing Health: A Shared Mission This Memorial Day Today, on Memorial Day, we remember the unwavering courage of fallen heroes who secured our freedoms. Their dedication inspires us to strive for a better world – a world where advancements in healthcare empower healthier lives. In the ongoing battle for human well-being, a different kind of heroism emerges. Contract Research Organizations (CROs) and Clinical Research Sites (CRSs) stand on the front lines, conducting critical studies that unlock life-saving treatments. This Memorial Day, let's also honor the heroes within our own field. The dedicated researchers, coordinators, and staff who tirelessly push the boundaries of medical knowledge. Their unwavering commitment paves the way for a future where illness loses its grip. Are you a CRO or CRS seeking to make a tangible impact? Let's connect with Research Mate Inc and explore how we can join forces to translate groundbreaking research into real-world applications. #MemorialDay #HealthcareHeroes #ClinicalResearch #CROCollaboration #UnitedStates #USA #clinicaltrials #ResearchMate

Healthcare Executives 🏥 During my last conversation with Scott Becker we talked about how rural hospitals can attract doctors/specialists by bringing them “back home” to where they grew up or have roots. The story below is about an extremely talented OB/GYN who moved his 30+ year practice, w/4,000 patients to a 50-bed rural hospital that’s closer to where he grew up. Why did he do it? He’ll talk about less bureaucracy, great nurses, more familiarity and one-on-one time w/patients, less hassle for the patients, less hassle for the physicians, and administration/leadership are appreciative and responsive. https://lnkd.in/gpxqMeuQ
