For Physicians
Physician Portal
Holy Cross Hospital's Integrated Electronic Health
Record System
Holy Cross Hospital's integrated system combines computerized
physician order entry (CPOE) with an electronic health record, incorporating
physician and nurse notes as well as lab results and radiologic images.
Holy Cross Hospital's system, an initiative known internally as Genesis,
electronically houses the information a physician needs to care for
his or her patients, eliminating the need to use multiple systems and
multiple logins. A physician portal makes the system securely accessible
to physicians anywhere -- inside the hospital, or remotely at physicians'
offices or even home computers.
Special Information for Apple Users
Several members of our physician community have chosen Apple computers
for their ease of use, quality and reliability. However, many of the
clinical applications we run are only certified to run in a Microsoft
Windows® environment and Microsoft Internet Explorer®.
Apple
computers and the Macintosh Operating System (OS) are not supported
by Trinity Information Services, and while we are continuously working
on better serving all of our physicians, we have no current plans to
support Macintosh computers.
Notwithstanding, we encourage Apple users
within our physician community to explore ways in which to make their
computers compatible with as many of our applications as possible.
There are several applications that may facilitate compatibility by
emulating a windows environment, and hardware add-ons that can run
Windows® while
still preserving the Macintosh OS within the same device.
While we cannot
guarantee that our environment will be compatible if you were to choose
any of the solutions below, we suggest that you consult Apple on its
website, www.apple.com, where they have
suggestions on how to make Apple computers useful in a Windows® environment.
Please visit the websites for popular emulator
software manufacturers, such as Parallels, at www.parallels.com,
and VMWare Fusion, at www.vmware.com/products/fusion which
allow you to install the Windows® operating system in your
Apple computer.
