April 2006: Negley, Ott & Associates, Inc.'s consulting team supports development of on-line DVT evaluation using the Misys-CPR system.

With the support of NOA’s Brenda Rollins the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, the corporate entity for all the NYCHHC facilities in New York City, began implementing the automated, on-line risk based evaluation of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) using the Misys-CPR system.

The project involved leveraging the Misys CPR™/ Misys CPOE™ system via customized configuration thus building the database necessary to establish an automated process.  By having the database configured based on customized specifications, the patient is evaluated based on predefined risk criteria and an automated score is derived from this evaluation.  The score is then combined with relevant clinical documentation (Absolute or Relative Contraindications to Anticoagulant Therapy) in order to provide a suggested prophylactic regimen for the patient’s care plan.  By documenting this information in the electronic health record, the information can be easily viewed by all providers with appropriate security access.

This implementation event is another significant accomplishment for the NYCHHC towards their initiatives to standardize configurations for utilization at all eleven facilities which comprise NYCHHC.

Congratulations to NYCHHC and NOA's project team for a successful development!  This is another example of quality and excellence towards community health by using the Misys CPR™ / Misys CPOE™ integrated electronic health record.
