Everywhere at the Same Time

Stacy Vallianatos

Thanks to Loyola’s state-of-the-art electronic patient record and image archiving systems, Loyola’s doctors and specialists have real-time and complete access to Stacy’s test results and files from anywhere in the health system. Loyola is a leader among medical centers nationwide in adopting a fully interactive medical record that is linked to all service sites throughout Loyola’s health system.

So, when Stacy has tests done at Loyola’s medical center campus in Maywood because it’s convenient to her work, her Loyola doctor in Darien gets the results quickly online and can contact Stacy to follow up. And, when Stacy sees another Loyola doctor in Oakbrook Terrace, that doctor can review Stacy’s history to see what’s been going on with her health.

For doctors, the system has similar benefits. When doctors see patients in multiple locations, they can easily access records from every office. They can follow-up with patients from the office, clinic or home, without having to wait to look at a paper chart.

“It’s a fantastic system and a wonderful convenience,” Stacy says. “It used to take days to get my lab results with the paper system. Now I hear from my doctor in as little as 30 minutes sometimes.”
