Access to Touro Infirmary’s Web-Based Clinical Systems
For physician and medical staff convenience, Touro’s web-based clinical
systems can be accessed outside of our medical facilities.
Follow these simple steps to gain access to these systems:
- Contact Touro Infirmary’s Physician Services Department at 504.897.8392
to request remote access to our web-based clinical applications. The first
time you attempt remote log in, you may have to download a small executable
file to your computer. If this is necessary, a message will appear on
the lower right-hand side of the screen. Hint: make sure you have administrative
rights to download software to your computer or the file may not be downloaded
properly and prevent you from gaining remote access.
- Once you have received your username and password* information, go to https://gateway.touro.com/.
- Type in your remote access ID and password*.
- Click on the appropriate icon to launch the desired application.
- Type in the appropriate username and password* for the desired application.
* Please note that all passwords are case sensitive. Registered users are
required to select a password between 6 - 14 characters consisting of
at least one capital letter, one lowercase letter and one number. Users
must change their passwords every 90 days. If your password is expired
or your access is disabled, please contact the Information Services Help
Desk at 504.897.7911 to have your account(s) reset.
Physicians can also access Touro’s
SoftMed Users Guide, which enables physicians to electronically sign reports dictated into
Touro’s dictation system. Please note that verbal/telephone/handwritten
entries on the medical record must still be manually signed.
Other Touro applications
-
PACS (Picture Archive Communication System): Touro has updated its Radiology department with a Picture Archive Communication
System (PACS). PACS replaces hardcopy-based means of managing medical
images by converting radiography images to a digital format (termed computed
radiography, or CR). The software allows practitioners at various physical
locations to access the same information simultaneously, improving our
workflows in Radiology to better meet the needs of the hospital and referring
community. To request access to PACS or for more information, contact
Eric Silbernagel, PACS Administrator, at
504.897.8380, or at
eric.silbernagel@lcmchealth.org

Office Facilitator: Touro would also like to remind physicians they can request access to
SCI Solution's Order Facilitator, a free web-based tool that provides a quick and efficient method for
sending and receiving orders and referrals. If you would like to register
for access to Order Facilitator or for more information, please contact
Susan Martin, System Manager, at
504.897.8788.
