CPOE is more than a tool for entering orders and medications. When integrated into an organization-wide care delivery process, it helps streamline workflow and supports care teams by providing the information needed for better-informed care decisions. The result is more effective communications and more time to focus on patients’ needs.
Support for provider patient safety initiatives—Handwritten orders can lead to preventable patient injury. To support your patient safety initiatives, Siemens provides your clinicians automated support for common tasks like placing orders.
Enhance clinician efficiency—With CPOE, clinicians quickly access the information they need from virtually anywhere. This information includes patient data as well as care plans, clinical decision support using predefined rules, and best-practice order sets.
Reduce miscommunications and delays—Once orders are entered and automatically sent to the proper recipients, miscommunications and delays are minimized because everyone is working from the same information.
Encourage user adoption—If a new system is too complicated or slow, few people will want to use it. Effective workflow is essential and must be built into the system to achieve adoption in large numbers. As of April 2009, INVISION CPOE is used by more than 20,000 physicians in the US.
By supporting the delivery of care with advanced processes and technology, Siemens is helping providers improve the management and delivery of healthcare services.
