Implementation of on-line clinical documentation for ENT outpatients at
the Queens Health Network |
|
July 2006: On June 26, 2006,
Negley, Ott & Associates, Inc.'s
consulting team, Cynthia Herold, MT(ASCP) and Dar Sabatino, RN, as well
as the Queen's Health Network (QHN)
HIS project team successfully deployed on-line clinical documentation
for outpatient ENT patients. The scope of this project involved
all outpatient ENT consultations, progress notes and procedures.
This has resulted in significant benefits to patients via immediate
access by providers through the QHN network. Some examples of the
types of procedures documented in the system now include:
This is an additional example of the ongoing successes achieved with the
Misys-CPR™
at the Queens Health Network which
includes both Elmhurst and Queens Hospitals. Now all outpatient
ENT information is available electronically to all providers in the
network, which has improved workflow and turn-around time for care
delivery. This immediate availability of information will make
treatment timelier and provide improved communication between all care
providers in the network.
Congratulations to Dr. Shin, Regional Medical Director of the ENT
Service, New York City Health and Hospital Corporation,
Queens Health Network HIS team and
NOA's consultants for a successful deployment! This deployment is
another example of how NYCHHC continues to demonstrate quality and
excellence towards community health by using the Misys CPR™ / Misys
CPOE™ integrated electronic health record.

About Negley, Ott &
Associates, Inc. |
| NOA was formed in 1992 by
IS professionals with a desire to provide hospital information system
and clinical professionals with best demonstrated practices in
conjunction with implementing clinical software systems that focus on
patient care. The issues, personalities, opportunities, challenges and
solutions required by clinical system implementations require the
ability to meld sensitivity to clinical processes with the realities of
computing and patient care delivery. To date, NOA has provided services
to over 60 hospitals installing clinical systems using an approach that
stresses both outcomes and knowledge transfer. Supporting so many users,
both during and after their installation, gives NOA the opportunity to
understand the issues that make clinical systems work, and those that
don't. |
