Healthcare Information System Promotes Patient Safety

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 01 Mar 2004
Enhancements to a healthcare information system are designed to support patient safety and create an integrated electronic health record in a hospital setting.

These enhancements include a physician order entry that helps speed implementation and promotes acceptance of computerized physician order entry. More...
This feature also saves time by using specialty-based order sets, synonym searching, and content and tools to streamline use. Another enhancement is a clinical notification inbox, which provides alerts of new results and orders and is designed to reduce errors and omissions and improve the timeliness of clinical decision making. A third enhancement is a personal digital assistant (PDA) called Access Clinical Assistant Vital Signs, which enables point-of-care data capture, increasing efficiency. Called Invision, the system is the product of Siemens Medical Solutions (Erlangen, Germany).

"For clinicians on the move, using wireless devices saves us time, provides for greater accuracy in documenting patient information, and enables us to review and collaborate with other members of the patient care team while we move about the hospital,” said Nancy Towers, RN, MSN, director of Nursing Clinical Systems, Newport Hospital, Lifespan (RI, USA), the integrated health system of Rhode Island.
