Jacobi Medical Center, Bronx, NY, -- January 2007 -- Negley, Ott & Associates, Inc.'s consultants, Judith Purvis, MT, ASCP and Anna May Petronella, RN recently completed design and configuration revisions of the Comprehensive Discharge Summary report for Medical/Surgical and Psychiatric patient populations in order to support JMC’s use of the Misys-CPR system to further demonstrate JCAHO compliance.  This was a revision of an existing discharge summary report application which now retrieves and integrates information by pulling in Nursing, Social Work and Physician documentation prior to generating a printed abbreviated copy for the patient to take home.  The patient copy also includes important phone numbers to call in case of an emergency, which further incorporates best-demonstrated-practices via the Misys-CPR™/ CPOE™ system at Jacobi Medical Center and North Central Bronx Hospital.  The lead NOA consultant on this project was Anna May Petronella, RN, who worked closely with NOA’s report writing expert Judith Purvis, MT (ASCP) for final revisions to the discharge summary report.

Jacobi Medical Center is part of the NORTH BRONX HEALTHCARE NETWORK, and is one of the multiple facilities of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (NYCHHC).

This enhancement during January 2007 is another example of accomplishments by the NORTH BRONX HEALTHCARE NETWORK and represents continued achievement towards improvement in community health.

Congratulations to Jacobi Medical Center and NOA's clinical consulting team for a successful deployment. This deployment is another example of how NYCHHC continues to demonstrate quality and excellence in meeting community healthcare needs by using the Misys CPR™ / Misys CPOE™ (Patient1^®) system as an integrated electronic health record.
