Kaiser SoCAL upgrades to MedCorr 2.7, joining NoCAL in using Enterprise System (7-July-2008) From the beginning of May to the end of June, our staff at Visual Records has been busy training over 300 Kaiser Permanente users to use MedCorr 2.7, which is an upgraded version of MedCorr1, the Release of Information software system they were previously using. The users trained are working in various Southern Californian medical correspondence, insurance and psychiatric departments. MedCorr 2.7 replaces MedCorr 1, which has been used by the Southern Californian sites since 1999. The first site to use MedCorr1 was the Hospital Records Department at Baldwin Park in 1998, when they first opened this new hospital. Many of the features and fields from MedCorr1 are in MedCorr 2.7 such as shortcut keys and auto-completion and patient and request information. However, a major difference between the two software systems is that all the sites will be using a centralized database, enabling the users to view the records from not only their site but from the rest of the SCAL sites. Previously, the SCAL sites were working independently of each other, with every department having its own server. For security reasons and data preservation, users will not be able to modify or add to a record that is not from their own department. Now with MedCorr 2.7, the sites will be able to easily communicate with each other and all their forms and data entry will be standardized. Approximately 330 users in the Kaiser sites from Northern California are currently using MedCorr 2.6. |
