The Jewish Home and Hospital Lifecare
System (JHH), New York City, NY -- May, 2004 --
JHH continues to
make significant strides towards a computerized patient care system via
use of the Misys-CPR™ / Misys-CPOE™ (formerly: Patient1®)
system and by leveraging NEGLEY, OTT &
ASSOCIATES, INC. (NOA) to provide consulting and project
management support. Thus far the primary focus of the project has been
on deployment of the pharmacy module applications and PPS orders.
The project management support provided by
NOA's Donna Welsh, RT, combined with the knowledge and experience of the
JHH clinical analyst team has been a real success. The progress thus far
since the project began in February 2004 represents a significant
accomplishment by The Jewish Home and Hospital Lifecare System.
As of May 2004, JHH’s recent CPR
accomplishments have been centered around the following milestones:
-
Deployment of Pharmacy module applications
using the Vista GUI across 12 of the planned 23 Nursing Units at the
Bronx Facility which includes:
NOTE: By providing for a clearly printed copy of the MAR/TAR there is a
reduced amount of order transcription taking place; therefore reducing
the potential for transcription errors.
-
In conjunction with the Pharmacy Rollout, JHH has also been deploying PPS Orders (orders for wound care,
treatments, diets, etc.). This initiative also began in Feb 2004 and is
targeting mid-June 2004 for a completion date.
-
Other initiatives in progress at the
JHH
Bronx facility include the automation of MDS Schedules via entering the
MDS orders in the CPR. By leveraging the CPR system, the schedules for
the Admission as well as Quarterly & Annual Assessments can be viewed
on-line by the RAUM and nursing personnel which represents a significant
enhancement to the care delivery process.
Congratulations to
The Jewish Home and Hospital Lifecare System
for continuing to demonstrate quality and excellence towards community
health by using the Misys CPR™ / Misys CPOE™ (Patient1®)
system as an integrated electronic health record.
