Healthcare IT Solutions for Providers of Every Size and Budget: Medsphere

Founded in 2002 and based in Sandy, Utah, Medsphere’s CareVue solution is an acute and inpatient behavioral health-oriented portfolio of clinical products and services. The Medsphere team sees the patient as the ultimate beneficiary of broadly adopted healthcare IT. Ultimately, a fully interoperable, nationwide healthcare IT system enables better patient care and gives America a leg up on chronic social problems like substance abuse and homelessness. We cannot succeed in realizing the goal of quality care for all citizens by keeping data in silos and failing to enable communication among disparate systems. With these goals in mind, Medsphere has recently expanded to incorporate solutions that meet the needs of healthcare providers across the continuum of care.

CareVue is a fully-integrated system that supports all enterprise clinical services in a single database. CareVue is patient-centered and supports the continuum of care, including inpatient and affiliated outpatient settings. The CareVue system comprises foundational applications that support clinical and nutritional services, including a multi-functional patient chart; laboratory, pharmacy and radiology applications; health information management functions; a nutrition and food service module; multi-disciplinary treatment planning for behavioral health; and an interface suite to ensure complete patient data. Medsphere’s CareVue is installed in acute care hospitals ranging from a 476-bed urban facility to a 10-bed critical access facility in rural New Mexico. All eligible acute care clients have met Meaningful Use requirements and received 100 percent federal reimbursement. CareVue offers adaptability and flexibility that few fully functional EHRs can match.

Enhanced for Mental Health

Designed by clinicians from all healthcare disciplines, CareVue is guided by the principle of making it easier for healthcare professionals to provide better patient care. As an integrated solution, CareVue includes applications critical to ensuring patient safety and promoting effective communication among mental health clinicians. CareVue directly benefits psychiatric care clients through an array of core competencies: 

• Multi-disciplinary treatment planning and automated discharge summary capabilities
• A computerized provider order entry (CPOE) module and associated alerts
• A closed-loop medication management process for both inpatient and outpatient episodes of care
• Clinical alerts and reminders
• Robust charting templates and tools that facilitate best practices and complete documentation
