Implementation of on-line clinical documentation using Quadramed-CPR
clinical desktops at the Queens Health Network |
|
September 2008:
Negley, Ott & Associates, Inc.'s consulting team
supported the implementation of an electronic on-line clinical
documentation for inpatient care utilizing the Clinical Desktop on
Quadramed-CPR by providers to document care and care plans at the
Queens Health Network.
With the support of NOA’s Donna Welsh, RT and
Cynthia Herold, MT (ASCP) as the primary on-site consultants
supporting this project, NOA provided product specific expertise and
best-demonstrated-practice design support for building the database
configuration in order to support workflow based applications involving
the on-line chart at the Queens Hospital Center,
a member of the Queens Health Network and the New York Health and
Hospitals Corporation. During the course of this project, the
hospital project team and NOA built a unified desktop in collaboration
with nursing, providers and select departments in the institution to
allow an interdisciplinary look at the patient’s information. NOA
trained more than 300 employees including providers. nurses and
ancillary department personnel for this initiative and provided 24x7
support during the activation to insure that all users had a smooth
transition to the new tool. The scope of this implementation
included 7 acute care units which encompassed the Emergency Department
(MAU), ICU, Step-Down and multiple traditional med/surg units. The
go-live encompassed a large scope of clinical documentation which
included all core documentation to support physicians and nursing.
In addition to on-line clinical documentation,
NOA’s Herb Walls also provided advanced technical support for
the development of numerous html reports to augment the design of
on-line clinical documentation for this project.
This deployment is another example of the commitment this organization
makes to provide the best, current-generation IT solutions to clinicians
in order to support best practices and is another significant
accomplishment for the Queens Health Network.
Congratulations to New York City Health and Hospital Corporation, Queens
Health Network and NOA's project team for a successful deployment! This
deployment is another example of how NYCHHC continues to demonstrate
quality and excellence towards community health by using the NOA for
deployment of the Quadramed CPR integrated electronic health record.

| 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. |
