The community hospital Franklin Medical Center in Winnsboro, LA. signed a 10-year contract with Siemens that includes implementing MedSeries4 General Financials, Patient Accounting, Soarian Clinicals, along with several other Siemens solutions. Their decision was due in part to the fact that the state of Louisiana is striving to provide electronic medical records (EMRs) to improve healthcare and patient safety in community hospitals which otherwise couldn't afford these types of solutions. Franklin chose MedSeries4 in part because it is a fully web-based end-to-end healthcare information system (HIS) designed to meet the unique needs of the community hospital while transforming their care-delivery process.

"The MedSeries4 will bring state-of-the-art technology to Franklin Parish," said Robert Boullion, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer, Franklin Medical Center.
