Case Study: University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences achieves faster charting and higher nurse efficiency with Qualcomm Life, Inc.'s Capsule MDIS

University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences - Customer Case Study

The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences faced rising acuity on its med‑surg units, compressed patient stays, growing documentation requirements and a limited budget while upgrading to an enterprise Epic EMR. To avoid costly device replacements and eliminate time‑consuming manual transcription, UAMS turned to Capsule MDIS from Qualcomm Life, Inc. to extend device integration into its busy wards.

Qualcomm Life, Inc. deployed 65 Capsule Neuron™ 2 mobile clinical computers running Capsule Chart Xpress™, delivering automated device data and patient context directly into Epic. The solution cut charting "from hours to seconds," removed manual transcription, improved timeliness and accuracy of EHR data, let nurses spend more time on higher‑acuity patients without adding staff, and reduced Epic implementation costs by leveraging existing devices and drivers.
