Standard Register Introduces New Software Module to Keep Hospital Admissions Fully Operational During Catastrophic Events DAYTON, Ohio, July 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Standard Register (NYSE:SR), a leading information solutions company, announces the launch of a vital software solution to keep hospital admissions fully operational in the event of a network failure or natural disaster. The new Network Optional Downtime Module gives healthcare facilities the ability to produce legible, complete patient admission and identification documentation whether they have access to their network or Health Information System (HIS). A catastrophic event or even everyday network problems cripple a hospital's ability to effectively manage patient registration and assure positive patient identification. Though handwritten documentation is an option, it opens the door to errors and delays at a time when a hospital may be handling a large influx of patients and proper patient identification is most critical. "With critical-incident procedures varying widely from facility to facility, Standard Register's new Downtime Module offers an easy-to-implement solution that brings uniformity and security to downtime situations," said Donna Beladi, Standard Register's chief marketing officer. The Network Optional Downtime Module produces a form or kit of forms for patient admissions and identification using a local PC and printer. What differentiates the Network Optional Downtime Module is its ability to be used no matter if a healthcare facility's network is up or not. The module "migrates" admission activities to a more automated process that helps to reduce errors, improve legibility and support barcode identification documents. Admissions and nursing staffs are able to produce printed labels, wristbands, consent forms and other documents on a locally connected printer with legible patient demographic information and barcodes, as long as the healthcare facility has access to power through normal sources or generators. "The Network Optional Downtime Module supports Standard Register's commitment to providing healthcare organizations with practical solutions to support them in their mission to deliver high-quality patient care," said Beladi.
