Ranked in the top 5% nationally for helping patients live better, recover faster, and have a higher quality of life, Medistar Home Health’s agencies have been devoted to serving the citizens of Louisiana for over 25 years. Medistar’s electronic medical records help keep physicians up-to-date on their homebound patients’ vital signs and the details of their medical care in the comfort of their homes, while helping ease their billing for oversight of home health patients. The mission of Medistar Home Health is to make a positive difference in the lives of patients and their families, the healthcare professionals with whom we work, and our valued employees, while providing compassionate, professional care, always adhering to the highest standards of excellence. See our website for the Parable of the Starfish, which exemplifies our mission. Medistar's professionals provide compassionate care that is efficient and effective. A part of this endeavor is Medistar’s use of StarPHISH (Physician Hospital Information System for Home Health), an interoperable electronic medical records program that allows the upload of patient data, including lab reports, photographs and assessments of wounds, medication records, and vitals statistics, for immediate review by the primary physician and other referral sources, guaranteeing the continuity of positive care.
