Kapi'olani Medical Center at Pali Momi said it has completed the installation of an integrated electronic medical record system that allows physicians to access critical patient information from almost anywhere in the world, while improving communications between physicians and other staff members.

The hospital said the goal of the project is to create greater clinical accuracy, efficiency and convenience for patients and staff. The project is a step towards the connecting of all hospitals operated by Hawaii Pacific Health, the not-for-profit healthcare network that operates the 116-bed Pali Momi facility.

Hawaii Pacific Health said future steps include allowing patients to have more access to their medical information and to give them the ability to collaborate with their physicians electronically.
