The interoperability Misys CPR 5.0 provides allows physicians, nurses and pharmacists to offer collaborative, patient-centric care with a truly integrated medication management function.
“Today’s healthcare market is demanding EHR solutions that are easy to use for the providers, secure to protect patient data and supported by a reliable vendor with a commitment to client support,” said Richard Atkin, president of the Hospital Systems business at Misys Healthcare Systems. “As we continue to stay ahead of industry trends and build on our long history of meeting the needs of hospitals and physicians, Misys is committed to providing innovations that deliver real value to our clients and their patients.”
