Other processes covered by Tasy EMR include comprehensive, clinically integrated bed management and the scheduling of rooms and staff for appointments and medical procedures. By managing both clinical and administrative workflows, Tasy EMR connects the dots between different aspects of patient care. Designed to be highly flexible through traceable user roles and profiles, it keeps pace with a hospital's workflows, standards and key performance indicators.

Advanced clinical decision support tools


As part of the customization of Tasy EMR functionalities, St. Andrew's Toowoomba Hospital will get access to advanced clinical decision support tools and full closed loop medication management. Medication errors and unsafe medication practices are a concern to hospital systems across the world. It is estimated that in Australia alone, the annual medication error-related costs are at least $1.2 billion [2].

Expanding full suite decision support solution across the globe

This new partnership agreement between Philips and St. Andrew's Toowoomba Hospital is another important step in the Tasy EMR growth success story beyond Latin America, the Middle East and Europe. The use of Tasy EMR has already helped multiple Brazilian hospitals receive EMR Adoption Model Stage 6 and Model Stage 7 (the highest level possible) certification from HIMSS Analytics; meaning they are near paperless and are driving integration, security and analytics to optimise patient care.
