  • Title: Hospital saves with bedside point-of-care system.
    Author: Weiss DA, Hailstone S.
    Journal: Comput Healthc; 1993 Oct; 14(11):28, 30, 32. PubMed ID: 10129039.
    Abstract:
    Do bedside and point-of-care systems actually deliver on their promise of reducing operating expenses while helping improve the overall quality of healthcare? And how does a healthcare facility quantify associated "productivity" improvements to prove cost savings? These are two critical issues that healthcare providers face in implementing a bedside or point-of-care (POC) system. Barnes Hospital, St. Louis, is a 1,000 bed member facility of the Barnes-Jewish Inc./Christian Health Services integrated health system. Barnes Hospital has indeed seen significant cost savings as a result of a POC project.
