July 2008: Since 2006 Negley, Ott & Associates, Inc.'s consulting team has supported ongoing development and deployment of on-line Anticoagulation Therapy applications using the Quadramed-CPR™ / CPOE™ system.

Phase I of the Anticoagulation Therapy Initiative involved the evaluation and documentation of a patient’s risk for developing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). This phase was implemented at the majority of NYCHHC facilities during 2006 and early 2007.

Phase II of the Anticoagulation Therapy Initiative involves ordering of therapeutic medications for the treatment of DVT.  It is a complicated, comprehensive project based on the protocols for medication administration based on using the patient's weight and corresponding lab values to determine clinically appropriate doses. The application is now in production at Bellevue Hospital Center and Kings County Hospital and will be going live at Metropolitan Hospital, Lincoln Hospital and Harlem Hospital in the near future.  The module is currently in development at Jacobi Medical Center, and development will begin shortly for Coney Island Hospital, Woodhull Hospital Center and the Queens Health Network.

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, continues to demonstrate successes towards implementing automated, on-line risk based applications for DVT (deep vein thrombosis) using the Quadramed-CPR™ / CPOE™ system.

This implementation event is another significant accomplishment for the NYCHHC towards their initiatives to standardize configurations for utilization at all the 11 facilities which comprise NYCHHC.

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