Webinar: Enhanced Meditech CPOE Workflow

Join us to learn how the CPOE Dashboard was designed and implemented to fill important gaps in Summit's CPOE workflow.

Summit Health (Chambersburg and Waynesboro Hospitals) in Pennsylvania approached us with a problem: They wanted their Unit Secretaries to be involved with the workflow for CPOE but felt like Meditech lacked automated support in this area.

According to Ruth Ludwig, Manager of System Applications at Summit, “We wanted a way to engage unit secretaries and support personnel with CPOE orders without having to rely on Meditech's printed POM order sheet. Our goal was a paperless solution that freed unit secretaries from monitoring a printer.”

Ruth goes on to say, “Dynamic Health IT (DHIT) worked with us to design, develop and implement a browser-based work list and tracking board that refreshes automatically and highlights the orders that need review or follow-up. DHIT has been great to work with - very responsive and accommodating. We are looking forward to the many benefits this new CPOE Dashboard will bring to our facility!"

Clinicians and analysts at other hospitals have mentioned the need for an overhead tracking board or specific worklists targeted for other clinical personnel such as Respiratory Therapists. The CPOE Dashboard can meet these requirements, as well.

Please RSVP to join Summit Health and Dynamic Health IT for a webinar and demonstration of the CPOE Dashboard for Meditech Thursday April 18th at 1PM CST.

ConnectEHR - DHIT's Stage 2 Software!

Now that the 2014 Edition Stage 2 Final Rule has been released, Dynamic Health IT has been hard at work designing and developing our new ConnectEHR product. ConnectEHR will be a web-based application with a number of supporting DLL's and Services which work with the application to deliver the functionality.  This application will be tested for a number of the interoperability modules in Stage 2 of HITECH Certification.

The following are the modules ConnectEHR is designed to meet:

• 170.314(a) (15) Patient-specific education resources
• 170.314(b) (1) Transitions of care – receive, display, and incorporate transition of care/referral summaries
• 170.314(b) (2) Transitions of care – create and transmit transition of care/referral summaries
• 170.314(b) (5) Incorporate laboratory test and values/results.
• 170.314(b) (6) Inpatient setting only- transmission of electronic laboratory tests and values/results to ambulatory providers
• 170.314(d) (1) Authentication, access control, and authorization.
• 170.314(d) (2) Auditable events and tamper resistance.
• 170.314(d) (3) Audit Log
• 170.314(d) (5) Automatic log-off
• 170.314(d) (6) Emergency access
• 170.314(d) (7) Encryption of data at rest.
• 170.314(d) (8) Integrity.

• 170.314(g) (1) Automated numerator recording.
• 170.314(g) (4) Quality Management

Our challenge when designing this application was to develop a user-friendly, certifiable solution that could be easily integrated with our client’s systems to meet 2014 Edition Certification. It had to be compatible with EHR’s running on many different technology platforms. Also, DHIT wanted to ensure that the combination of base EHR plus ConnectEHR would provide a seamless user experience and not degrade workflow or require extraneous screens or keystrokes. We wanted to make sure that the combined EHR package would please end users as well as meeting HITECH requirements.

DHIT plans to certify ConnectEHR with an ONC-Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB) after the first of the year.
