CPOE/Orders & Results
Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) reduces medical
errors and simplifies the practice of medicine by eliminating
paper transmission of laboratory and other diagnostic results,
thus streamlining the patient care process.
TouchWorks provides instant electronic transmission of ambulatory
orders, including e-prescribing, to laboratory and other ancillary
departments. TouchWorks streamlines the process of communicating
patient orders by eliminating paper and redundant work-saving
time for physicians as well as clinical and administrative
support staff. Physicians can also use TouchWorks for instant
access to results, patient information, and transcribed documents
stored in an electronic clinical repository along with notification
and detail of abnormal findings and reference ranges. In addition,
TouchWorks captures and flows vital signs, including pediatric
normative growth charts. Most importantly, TouchWorks can reduce
errors and rework by automating order processing and can help
physicians leverage the latest patient data to augment their
decision-making process and provide the best care to their
patients.
