The current state

The health system is facing increased pressures as a result of an aging and growing population, shifts in care settings, provider shortages, economic conditions, etc

Preview: Computerized Physician Order Entry

This presentation will provide an overview of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) in the context of an emergency room visit that continues on into the in-patient setting of care. This presentation will also demonstrate how integrating CPOE with electronic progress notes and the portal can help us achieve higher levels of patient safety and easily access real-time patient information

Preview: Bar Coding and Clinical Documentation

This presentation will provide an overview of how bar code scanning and clinical documentation enables the entire care team to review key clinical data in real time before a medication is administered — improving patient safety by helping to stop errors before they can occur. A patient-specific flow sheet incorporates integrated clinical data so that nurses can chart and view relevant information such as I&O, lab data and vital signs while administering medications and infusions.
