What medical technology or research advancements are currently underway at Wishard?
Wishard, in partnership with the Regenstrief Institute, has been at the leading edge of health services research focused on improving the quality, efficiency and safety of patient care for decades. This was made possible by our investment more than 30 years ago to develop one of the nation’s first comprehensive electronic medical record systems. This allows Wishard to capture and transmit data across the breadth of its integrated delivery system, from outpatient clinics to the hospital to the emergency department and now even to ambulances in the field. And the many of the physicians who care for patients at Wishard are also researchers within the Regenstrief Institute. This powerful informational infrastructure has been configured by physicians to help physicians provide better care. And as testimony to the impact, more than 20 percent of the world’s literature that focuses on the effect of physicians interacting with computers to enhance medical care stemmed from this Regenstrief-Wis
