Giving home care nurses a hand.

Parkview Episcopal Medical Center in Pueblo, Colo., joined forces with Patient Care Technologies of Atlanta to automate the hospital's home care department--traditionally one of the least automated areas of health care. Home care nurses using hand-held computers now make more home visits in the time previously devoted to paperwork. These extra visits generate $876,000 in additional annual revenues. What's more, automation has improved the quality of the home care division's record-keeping and patient care.

Making the most of a translator.

Anaheim Memorial Hospital in California is a trailblazer. It's one of the first hospitals in the nation to use translation software for both supply procurement and claims-related transactions. Initially, it acquired the software to streamline the ordering of supplies by shifting to standard electronic formats. Today, the hospital is using the software to receive electronic remittance advice, and it has plans for other labor-saving applications.
