Coney Island Hospital, Brooklyn, NY -- November, 2007 -- Negley, Ott & Associates, Inc. (NOA) consultants, Dar Sabatino, RN and Stacie Barrow began design and development consulting support eight months ago for the eventual implementation of inpatient physician documentation at Coney Island Hospital.  This has been an extensive configuration effort to further deployment of electronic documentation at CIH.  On November 28, 2007 NOA consultants brought CIH live with inpatient physician documentation, which includes the following types of documentation:

• History & Physical

• Progress Notes

• Consults

• Procedure Note

• Discharge Summary

In addition to physician documentation, NOA also designed and built an ICG (interactive care grid) for the physicians in order to facilitate locating and reviewing of existing documentation.  The ICG that was designed and built by NOA has also proven beneficial to the nursing staff by facilitating in their review of physician documentation.

Coney Island Hospital is one of the facilities of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (NYCHHC).  Dar Sabatino, RN and Stacie Barrow’s consultation efforts are part of an ongoing team approach comprised of NOA and CIH personnel.

The recent inpatient documentation go-live event is an additional significant accomplishment for Coney Island Hospital and represents continued achievement towards improvement in community health.  CIH’s CIO, Silvana DeSimone, made a strategic decision to leverage NOA’s best-demonstrated-practices expertise with the Quadramed CPR™ which continues an already successful multi-year relationship with NOA.

Congratulations to Coney Island Hospital, Quadramed, NOA's Dar Sabatino, RN, and Stacie Barrow for the recent successful deployment.  This deployment is an additional example of how NYCHHC continues to demonstrate quality and excellence towards community health by using the Quadramed CPR™ integrated electronic health record.
