CLINICAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
a.
Radiology
The
Radiology system contributes to efficient department operation with
online examination order processing from requisition through results
reporting. Examination schedules allow staff to plan resource
requirements ensuring that facilities and staff are used
efficiently. Users can produce flash cards, technologist worksheets,
and film / jacket labels that provides the necessary control for
film tracking. For
instance, mammography tracking functions include management of
required follow-up letters to both the physician and the patient.
In addition, a patient profile contains pertinent information
about each examination, its status, and the location of each film.
The reporting of results is streamlined with integrated word
processing (Microsoft Word ®) to reduce transcription time.
b.
Laboratory
The
Laboratory system provides real-time processing and results
reporting on a stand-alone basis.
It can also be fully integrated with a hospital information
system. Up-to-the-minute
patient information and control over specimens improve the
laboratory’s efficiency, quality and overall patient care.
The system is designed to improve each phase of the
laboratory workflow – from requisition and specimen bar-code
controlled processing to results reporting with automated faxing.
Users can integrate both the Laboratory and the health-care
information system to automatically capture demographic information
and report results instantaneously.
If desired, a dual numbering system and separate billing
routine allow the department to also function as a reference
laboratory.

c.
Pharmacy
The
Pharmacy system delivers an integrated pharmaceutical care system
managing all patient encounters—in-patient, out-patient,
long-term, and psychiatric. Patient
transfers between different levels of care are tracked producing a
clear discharge/re-admit audit trail while retaining patient
demographics and drug profiles. The system processes all patient records using one
common formulary and multiple drug costs and formulas. Support is provided for Drug Therapy monitoring, patient drug
education, timely and accurate dosing, drug utilization review,
drug-to-drug/drug–to-food, and allergy intervention.
d.
Dietary
The
Dietary system’s four modules:
Menu Processing, Recipe and Menu Costing, Nutrient Analysis,
and Production Control; increase the effectiveness of patient
nutritional support and improve department productivity.
Patient specific diet information and a master menu database
automate menu preparation and support recipe and menu costing.
Nutrient analysis of recipes, meals, and patient intake
assists the dietician in providing optimal nutritional care for each
patient. The system
automates the flow of information required to plan and control the
daily operation of production areas, thus improving quality and
staff productivity.
e.
Operating Room Management
The
Operating Room Management system, an adjunct to the Scheduling
system, provides operating room scheduling for patient and staff,
case data management, log reporting, surgeon preference lists, and
extensive statistical reporting capabilities.
A summary of critical patient data may be gathered for each
case. The case records
-- consisting of procedure, anesthesia, and recovery data -- are
automatically created when the case record is updated.

Patient Clinical Management Systems
a.
Charting
The Charting
system provides an integrated path that allows its users to
electronically capture clinical information/data for in-patients,
out-patients, long-term care, home-health, and other settings.
Charting consists of an unlimited number of user-definable
screens. Users have a
variety of options to efficiently manage patients’ charts while
ensuring necessary follow-up is top-of-mind for the health-care
provider. In addition,
screens may be customized to include required notation areas,
numeric, table-driven, and "macro" invoked entries for
user response. Reminders/ticklers
also may be attached to each note as a reminder to the healthcare
provider of necessary follow-up, review, and action items.
Required electronic signatures may be attached and
transcription may be integrated.
Predefined notes are supplied for vitals, nursing care,
physician, discharge summaries, etc.
Users may modify the screens/output to match current notation
practices. A fully
progressive audit trail monitors all changes performed to the chart.
An additional
feature of great importance to the management of patients’
clinical data is appropriate tracking of nursing assignment.
The charting system also offers this advantage.
Reminder reports are available for each health-care provider
thus assisting in workflow and ensuring completion of charting
tasks. Integration with
Order Entry facilitates a paperless environment for Nursing.

b.
Order
Entry/Results Reporting
The
Order Entry/Results Reporting system provides online communication
of physician orders, results, and patient information between
nursing and ancillary departments.
At the user's discretion, patient charges may be generated
when an order is entered, confirmed, or results issued.
Individual orders, order sets, and panels may be entered,
revised or canceled from nursing floors or other authorized
locations.
Based
upon user priorities, orders are automatically sent to appropriate
departments where specific messages or requisitions are printed to
initiate service. A
tracking system ensures orders are tracked from the time they
originate through confirmation and results reporting.
An additional feature allows department-to-department
ordering (location orders), and provides immediate internal
communications. As
a result, the departments increase their efficiencies through the
elimination of department-to-department telephone communications.
The
Results Reporting module allows users to share Laboratory and
Radiology results and Pharmacy profiles with appropriate receiving
locations. Standard
phrases for normal and abnormal summaries and a powerful
text-handling function provide reporting flexibility.

c.
Care Protocols, Critical
Paths & Care Plans
The Care Protocols function enables simplified yet comprehensive
collaboration between physicians and nursing staff. When combined
with our Critical Paths and Care Plans functions, this leads to
greater efficiency while maintaining high standards of patient care.
d.
Physician Access
The
Physician Access system establishes a link between the physician’s
office and the hospital’s information system.
The system allows the physician to perform a variety of
functions ranging from preadmission of his/her patients to order
entry and results inquiry. Through
use of the scheduling function, hospital resources are allocated
more efficiently, thus more effectively meeting the physician’s
individual needs. The
system provides up-to-the minute information on the status and/or
results of all orders for each patient.
