No really, what is ERS?
An Information Management System. Based on existing Medworxx products deployed in over 200 hospitals, ERS takes the best from our Document, Learning, Content and Utilization Management systems. Not only does the ERS platform incorporate our own application functionality, it also includes an interface engine to enable data pulls from your existing applications like ADT, HR and Bed Management. No more duplicate data entry - let data reside in the system that owns it, and use ERS to display summaries form the primary systems to enhance response situation awareness.
Is this a U.S. only solution?
ERS is designed to be compliant with NIMS and the Incident Command System (ICS). More specifically, with HICS IV. As ICS/IMS is rapidly becoming the international standard for emergency management, any organization that adopts this paradigm will benefit enormously from ERS.
