Real-Time Orders for On-Time Care

At the core of emergency department care are patient orders. Whether they’re orders for labs, prescriptions, radiology, procedures or tests, these are, perhaps, the most critical steps in emergency department patient care. Allscripts ED Order Management meets this challenge head-on with its sophisticated and customizable order entry capabilities.

Order Management

• Interface simplicity, ensuring that the lab, radiology, pharmacy and HIS systems using various vendors can all send and receive orders, using standard HL7 protocol interfaces, or other custom interfaces.
• Orders and results status are displayed in real-time.
• Single-screen application, allowing orders to be entered quickly and simply.
• Nurse works from the same screen as the clinician.
• Order data is fully customizable by the hospital, based on their individual needs.
