After implementing MEDHOST's Emergency Dept Information System (EDIS), Beaufort Memorial Hospital realized a dramatic difference in revenue and ROI.

1. Dramatic Revenue Improvements at
Beaufort Memorial Hospital

2. Beaufort Memorial Hospital
• Beaufort Memorial
Hospital is a 197-bed,
not-for-profit facility
located in Beaufort,
South Carolina.
• As the only healthcare system to serve the
Beaufort, S.C., area, experiences a high volume
of patients.
• Beaufort manages approximately 50,000 ED
visits each year.

3. EDIS Impact
Within the first month of
going live with MEDHOST
EDIS, Beaufort Memorial
Hospital recognized a $1.3
million increase in gross
revenue, and within three
months of go-live,
achieved a complete
return on its MEDHOST
EDIS investment.

4. MEDHOST EDIS: Results
• Had a net payment increase of $50 per patient within
the first two months. With 40,000 patient visits per
year, the hospital expects $2 million in annual
recurring net revenue.
• Eliminated $240,000 per year in dictation costs
because the MEDHOST EDIS is so easy to use and has
such high physician adoption rates.
• Used the additional revenue earned since
implementing the MEDHOST EDIS to help fund its
inpatient HIS upgrade and house-wide CPOE
deployment.

5. Pre- and Post-MEDHOST EDIS E&M Levels
• Charge Capture for the 11 months prior to having the MEDHOST EDIS:
$11.5 million
• Charge Capture for the 11 months post-go-live with the MEDHOST EDIS:
$22.2 million, nearly a 93 percent increase

6. Infusion Logic
Beaufort leverages MEDHOST EDIS’ infusion logic and reminders
to ensure stop times are documented on all IV medications. Prior
to the MEDHOST EDIS, Beaufort didn’t regularly capture IV stop
times because the process was too time-intensive and complex,
resulting in low IV charge capture. Since the MEDHOST EDIS was
put in place, Beaufort has seen dramatic improvements with
compliance and IV-related charges.
IV Hydration First Hour Initial: IV Hydration Each Additional Hour:
One Month Pre-MEDHOST EDIS: $2,304 One Month Pre-MEDHOST EDIS: $11,186
One Month Post-MEDHOST EDIS: $31,968 One Month Post-MEDHOST EDIS: $239,666

7. Capturing Supply Charges
With MEDHOST EDIS’ ToolKit administration utility, Beaufort
added supply charges to the charting choices within the system,
so as nurses document procedures, MEDHOST EDIS captures the
associated supplies.
Average Collections Snapshot:
Pre-MEDHOST EDIS: $302 per patient
Post-MEDHOST EDIS: $348 per patient
Post-supply bundling: $397 per patient

8. “MEDHOST EDIS’ intuitive design and usability has played a huge role in
our financial successes. The easy-to-use system drives user compliance,
which generates more complete documentation. The MEDHOST EDIS
enabled us to achieve ROI for the system within three months, and even
better, the EDIS continues to generate additional revenue, which helps
fund other hospital-wide initiatives.”
- Ed Ricks, CIO of Beaufort Memorial Hospital
