Hi all, Our providers are trying to work toward fully using CPOE. In their efforts, our surgeons are frustrated that their pre-op orders can't be entered at the time they see the patient in their office. These offices have access to the hospital system and are not currently using LSS. The workflow that they are asking that we support is:
- see a patient in the office and determine that they will be scheduled for surgery - patient leaves and provider currently hand writes orders on order sheet and places on front of office chart - these orders sit on the chart until the office staff are aware of the date of surgery, they then send the orders to PAT or ask the doctor to enter the orders on the pre-reg account (you can guess how happy that makes everyone) What the providers want is the ability to place orders on some type of account that can be quickly created at the time of the patient's office visit (remember no LSS at this time) so they can place orders at the point the patient leaves. Is anyone doing anything like this? We would really like to hear from you. Thanks, Teri Teri R.
