The medEncounter product suite is an evolved series of applications based on our success with the point-of-care THERESA^® clinical information system.  The largest user of THERESA is the Grady Health System (GHS) or Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.  The system is an integrated (via HL7) electronic medical record (EMR) encounter, management and research system and has been in operation since 1983. Supported by a secure lifetime (permanent) database management system, the application has robust decision support capabilities that are used to immediately help patients, to support administrative needs, and to perform medical research.  

Over the years a tremendous amount of patient information has been directly input and transcribed into the system.  The system has over 3.8 million patient encounter documents online from 1.2 million patient encounters and over 58 million searchable documents online. THERESA is a key resource day to day in helping GHS achieve the quality service levels needed by millions of patients over the years.
