Boston WorkStation
Design Clinicals
9© 2016 Boston Software Systems |
• Software should make patient care better, not get in the way of it
• MedsTracker Medication Reconciliation and CPOE
• Implemented at hospitals and clinics across the US
Design Clinicals
MedsTracker ®
10© 2016 Boston Software Systems |
• Physicians place medication orders in MedsTracker, and the orders are entered into the hospital’s pharmacy system
• Entering orders manually is inefficient and prone to user error
• Small hospital customers may not have pharmacy staff available 24/7
• Inbound HL7 pharmacy interfaces oftendo not exist
The Challenge
11© 2016 Boston Software Systems |
• Electronically-generated Physician Orders were documented in a report (PDF)
• MedsTracker Orders Report was routed to pharmacy system for viewing
• Pharmacy personnel reviewed and manually entered the orders into their system
Before Boston WorkStation
12© 2016 Boston Software Systems |
• Electronically-placed Physician Orders are sent to pharmacy system as XML
• Boston WorkStation enters the orders into the pharmacy system just as a human would enter them
• Entered as unverified orders to be verified by pharmacists as CPOE orders are typically handled
