For over 90 years The Bellevue Hospital in Bellevue, Ohio,
has been known as a progressive and expansive facility and leader in innovative
procedures and programs. Included in the recent expansion was a breast
care program.
“We are situated between four different counties and one of the
very few hospitals that are not county owned,” says QC Coordinator
Judy
Kelble, RT. “We recently built a new hospital and spent a lot of
time designing it to make it more convenient and private for the patient,”
added Kelble. “The women’s center is all in one area so the
patient can have an ultrasound or stereotactic procedure in the same corridor.”
A big part of the planning of the center was a streamlined mammography
tracking system to keep track of all patients and make sure no one falls
through the cracks. “We were really looking for something that would
make us MQSA compliant,” said Kelble. The Bellevue Hospital implemented
the MagView Mammography Information System.
“Prior to implementing MagView we were using Microsoft Access and
I had to constantly make new reports which was very time consuming. I
wanted something easier to work with, so I looked around at many systems
and thought MagView was the best out there, it gave me the reports and
flexibility I needed,” Kelble added.
In addition to the flexibility, Kelble was thinking long term with the
center and wanted to make sure the tracking and MQSA
requirements could be managed by multiple people. “When I was looking
at retirement two years ago, I felt no one else would be able
to easily take over. Now it is a quick learning curve for MagView,”
said Kelble.
With the combination of state of the art facilities, a broad range of
procedures and a comprehensive information management solution,
The Bellevue Hospital is proving to be a destination for the area residents.
“I feel we are doing spectacularly well. Our president and
CED Mike Winthrop has brought us from being a band-aid station to a force
to be reckoned with.”
