Replacing hand-written Diagnostic Testing orders with electronic patient orders (aka CPOE - Computerized Physician Order Entry) is easy to do and offers substantial benefits to patients, physicians and hospitals. A PC with Internet connectivity is all that is needed.
eOrders can be scrubbed for Medical Necessity rules at the point of care i.e. physician's office. They also include physician remarks and any special instructions associated with a test. eOrders cannot be tampered with and are easily retrievable.
Patients get the correct tests, physicians can verify that the patient came in for the test and hospitals get the job done right the first time.
Benefits:
No lost or forgotten orders. Always legible and complete
Tamper proof
Instant payback from reduced Medical Necessity denials and increased efficiencies in Registration and Scheduling
Long term payback would include improved patient satisfaction, risk reduction and reduced malpractice or settlement costs
