Testimonials

Afshin Fatholahi, Administrative Director of Materials Management, Cottage Hospital, Santa Barbara, California

"Before we installed VisCIMS, we were losing considerable patient charge revenues. With the HealthLine Solutions barcode-based point-of-use system, we improved our patient charge capture to an 89% in only 4 months.

Our nursing staff finds the new barcode-based open system much easier & faster to user than the old yellow stickers. They do not want to go back.

In the past, many items were not chargeable because the yellow sticker system was too time consuming. After implementing VisCIMS, these items accounted for $9,571 per week or approximately $5 million annually in added gross.

VisCIMS allows for immediate & precise inventory management reporting from a wealth of data. This enabled us to optimize par levels & a reduction in inventory levels.

Our nurse managers can monitor nursing staff's clinical practice consistencies through an interface between VisCIMS & our electronic medical records."

"We needed to get control of our supplies and patient charging and wanted a system that would interface with Meditech. With VisCIMS, all patient charges go right to the bill, and the system decrements our inventory automatically.

Every “head nurse” has a program on her computer that enables her to see the activity from the previous day, week, month, sorted by nurse. The system reports all scans, so you can see the time of day, items taken, and also figure out who forgot to scan.

I guess the best way to say it is we get all the reports we need.

We have had the system for about 3 years now, and as I recall, it cost us about $5,000 per nursing unit to implement. And we own it. We don’t have to lease it, and we didn’t have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase and implement it."
