NetDelivery

Secure, Accurate Delivery of Patient Information

NetDelivery allows you to securely distribute reports from your organization’s information system via fax, encrypted print stream, encrypted file or email. NetDelivery is integrated with the MEDITECH faxing functions, but allows you to define (by user/location) whether to send the data as a fax, a file, an email or directly to the printer. Remote locations can have virtual printers via the Internet, which on demand, on schedule, or in real-time, retrieve data from your system. All connections are validated and all data passing through the Internet is encrypted using 128-bit encryption algorithms.

Features & Benefits

• NetDelivery is integrated with MEDITECH faxing routines to enable secure distribution of reports from your organization’s information systems via fax or encrypted data stream over the Internet.
• Remote printers are “attached” to the Internet to enable flexible retrieval options – on demand, on schedule, or in real-time.
• Reports can be distributed in PRN, TIF or PDF formats, to simplify review and printing process for users.
• A report link can be sent via email to eliminate need for client software, ensure full audit trail, and guarantee secure delivery using encryption.
• User connections to the reports are validated and reports are encrypted prior to delivery via the Internet using 128-bit encryption to ensure HIPAA-compliant report delivery.

Finding New Uses of NetDelivery (formerly NetPrint) to Reduce Costs and Increase Revenue

“We use NetDelivery to automate housekeeping notification and speed up our turnaround time on patient room availability, hence increasing revenue. When a nurse discharges a patient, a message is sent to the NetDelivery server, which then transfers the message via FTP to a file folder. That folder is watched by a scripting program that automatically sends a text page to the correct housekeeper when the message is received. We have 8 different pagers, based on room assignments. This whole process takes less than 45 seconds from discharge to page.”

“We also use NetDelivery for notifying Pharmacy personnel about potential errors, decreasing the amount of time between mistakes and changes in the Pharmacy and increasing the efficiency in our Pharmacy. If a drug has been ordered or entered in error, instead of calling the pharmacy, we have them “print” a copy of the drug order along with a 25 character explanation of the mistake out of MEDITECH to a spool file. This spool file is then transferred via FTP to the same server that is watched by the scripting program and automatically e-mailed to the pharmacists for backup. The message is also added to a helpdesk task manager database. Before, a particular pharmacist or technician had to answer the phone, write down the change, and get it made. Now, any of the Pharmacy personnel can pick the changes off the helpdesk task manager and accurately fill the prescription.”
