HST eChartKick your paper habit. Get the power of ASC collaboration.

Paperwork. Paperwork. Paperwork. Chart entries, surgeon’s notes, lab results. For most ASCs, paper transactions continue to be at the core of how things get done. But is it efficient? Or is it a huge hidden cost of running your ASC?

Use your existing staff more effectively and take your ASC to the next level of productivity with HST eChart. It’s the best way to go from complexity to collaboration.

Purpose-built for the ASC

Our EHR framework unifies core ASC objectives of

maximizing patient safety, while leveraging cost-saving

processes. HST eChart features seamless integration

with HST Practice Management, leveraging a single

database design that spans the care continuum

from scheduling to charting, billing, and supply

chain management.

Speed equals savings

An ASC’s success is often dependent on the

efficiency and rapid turnaround of surgical cases.

Speed, collaboration, and flexibility are the pillars

of HST eChart.

HST Pathways was the first to introduce an ASC

EHR that allows concurrent charting at all times,

in all areas of the patient care documentation

process, provided the user has permissions.

This advantage enables clinicians to continue

documenting the patient experience in a

concurrent manner without having to wait on

others to complete their tasks electronically. Our

LiveEdit™ technology shows—in real time—all

updates to the patient chart being made by any

logged-in user, providing ongoing collaboration

about patient care activities, potential risks, and

treatment indicators.

HST eChart provides the necessary tools for

nurses to QuickChart™ non-patient specific

information about the case performed.

Compliance is achieved by eliminating any

pre-charting of data, and the nurse’s charting

becomes significantly faster.

An intuitive, simple user interface eases the

transition for new users and virtually eliminates

duplicate data entry throughout the care

documentation flow.

HST eChart features

Real-time data sharing

• Patient information is shared among clinicians, with easy

access to case costing and staff utilization, and immediate

drug/drug and drug/allergy checking.

• Multiple users can access and chart on a single patient

simultaneously with LiveEdit™ technology to visualize and

communicate changes made by all users with chart access.

• Clinicians can do their job more efficiently without waiting

on someone to release the record.

• Patient safety is improved when clinicians can make

immediate procedure or treatment changes based on

another clinician’s documentation.

What the user #1 would see after user #2 documents a

allergy—the allergy is automatically visible/added to what

user #1 sees in the chart and there is a purple LiveEdit halo

around the block where the other user documented.

Chart status indicators

• Indicators throughout to ensure regulatory compliance

for timely chart completion and easy identification of

incomplete charts.

• Always know the current status of a patient’s chart,

along with manual task assignments such as patient calls

or charts for peer review.

• See automatic tasks based on triggers such as chart

completions, review of lab results, and operative

report required.

Flexible configuration

• Assign select users permissions to tailor the electronic chart

by procedure and physician to match your facility’s preferred

workflow without the need for HST’s involvement.

• BLOC™ gives clinicians the ability to address only the data

fields that pertain to their specific workflow.

• Provides the flexibility to define charts and workflows

down to the physician and procedure level.

• Allows for rapid development and deployment of ways

to meet new clinical documentation requirements as

regulations evolve.

Optimized clinical processes

• Empowers leadership by easily identifying clinical staff

competencies and workflow opportunities, and streamlines

the supply usage data for accurate case costing and materials

management tracking.

• Designed to work with HST preference cards to pull in data

including supplies and medications to prepopulate the

chart—saving “clicks” and searching.

• Real-time capture of supply usage throughout your ASC for

accurate and timely case costing.

Technical Specifications

Devices

HST eChart can run on most Windows computers (laptops and desktops),

Windows tablets, and the Apple iPad. The Google Chrome browser is required;

the use of other browsers is not supported. Supported operating systems

include Windows 7 (service pack 1) and above, and iOS—with one exception:

Windows 10S (a.k.a. “S Mode”) is not supported.

The product is designed for devices with a screen size of 9 inches or

greater. Although the product will run on devices with smaller screens, full

functionality is not supported. The use of devices with Full Disk Encryption

is strongly recommended.

Device requirements depend on the kinds of tasks being performed on the device.

There are 3 categories:

• Demanding: this includes the anesthesia and intra-op workflows where the

users are taking advantage of the full functionality of HST eChart.

• Standard: this includes the pre-op, PACU, and post-op workflows.

• Lite: includes registration and patient communication workflows.

Lite 1400 or above Registration, pre-op or post-op calls

Standard 2400 or above Pre-op/pacu/post-op

Demanding 3400 or above Anesthesia/intra-op

For Demanding use, a device such as an

iPad Pro (11 inch) or a Surface Pro 7 or 6

is recommended.

For Standard use, an iPad Air (3rd

generation) or a wide range of Windows

devices will be adequate. For Lite use, a

Surface Go 2 or a standard iPad will suffice.

Because of the considerable number of

devices on the market, HST provides the

following table to help users to quantitively

evaluate different devices. The table can

Technical Specifications Cont.

Wireless Infrastructure

• 802.1x support: A standard that ensures proper security

protocols are used.

• WPA2 or better security: The minimum security

protocol that has been demonstrated to satisfy HIPAA

requirements when used in conjunction with proper

administrative controls.

• Dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with band steering:

The two standard frequencies used by WiFi devices.

Supporting both ensures the fastest connection

possible, and reduces congestion on the network by

spreading network traffic over both frequencies.

Band steering ensures a user only needs to connect

to a single WiFi network and be switched to the best

frequency automatically.

• Sufficient access points: Enough access points to not

only provide a signal for all areas where HST eChart will

be used, but also to support the number of users in any

given area.

• A management controller: Software that allows

for advanced configuration of the wireless

networking hardware.

• Wireless network virtualization: The ability to have

multiple wireless access points function as a single

network so that users can move anywhere within

the facility and not experience intermittent

connectivity issues.
