Project
Purpose: BayCare Health System's overall I.T.
strategic plan is to create an Electronic Medical
Record (EMR) to enable the transformation of care
delivery and business practices throughout BayCare
and the community we serve. A subsystem of the EMR
is the implementation of a Computerized Physician
Order Entry (CPOE) system. The CPOE system will use
rules and clinical knowledge based information to
improve clinical processes and reduce errors. This
will help reduce medication errors and subsequent
adverse drug events by decreasing transcription, dispensing
and drug administration errors, and providing physicians
with warnings about drug interactions.
Outcomes
Expected: Medication errors will be reduced by
flagging unusual doses, universally noting patient
allergies, and displaying key lab values influencing
medication dosing. Number and type of errors (measure).
Duplicate orders will be reduced by increased online
availability of previous encounter information. Number
of duplicate orders (measure). Utilization of the
clinical system rules engine and corresponding patient
alerts will enable prospective management of critical
findings and automate routine protocols. Number of
adverse drug events (measure). Rules engine (tool).
Time available for direct patient care will increase
with online documentation systems for clinicians.
Increase Patient Satisfaction, Quality Data Management
scores (tool).
