Illinois Hospital ED Sees Revenue Increase by Implementing The T SystemEV(R)
Date:8/25/2009

viously, the department had been using a homegrown charting system to capture each patient's chief complaint. "We were doing our best with the processes we had in place, but we felt that there was significant room for improvement and that there were more efficient data capture techniques available.

"Our clinicians immediately felt comfortable with the system, and within months we saw our revenue per patient visit increase by 27 percent."

Administrators at Graham Hospital continued investigating methods to further improve workflow and processes in the ED, and they looked at migrating to an electronic system. Less than a year after adopting TSheets, the ED migrated to The T SystemEV, T-System's state-of-the-art emergency department information system (EDIS). "The migration for us made sense, as we already knew The T System and the value it provides," said Alton. "We were very pleased with our go-live experience in October 2008, as we had great support from T-System training staff during the switchover."

John Quinones, DO, ED Medical Director for Graham Hospital, noted the quality of service benefits of the new EDIS. "T SystemEV covers the entire ED process from triage to discharge, resulting in a
