MDCMC Receives Stage 6 if HIMSS Analytics Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model

Ministry Door County Medical Center (MDCMC) was recently recognized for achieving Stage 6 of the HIMSS Analytics Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model, an honor that puts MDCMC in the top 21 percent of U.S. Hospitals when it comes to the efficiency and thoroughness of maintaining and using electronic medical records (EMRs). “At Ministry, we are committed to leading the community’s wellness,” says Mary Lopas, chief information officer at MDCMC. “We’re doing that, in part, by continually using advanced technology in our electronic medical recordkeeping to insure continuity of care for patients across our organization.”

MDCMC staff are working to achieve the final level of HIMSS recognition, which will enable them to consistently share patients’ EMRs with other health care organizations. Recently, Ministry also established an online patient portal that allows patient access to test results, appointment history and other information. “We’re very proud of our achievement,” says Lopas, “but we’re always looking to take our patient care to the next level.”
