Orion Health, Inc. announces Concerto Clinical Documentation, a solution that helps healthcare workers efficiently and automatically capture clinical notes for a more complete electronic health record in McCormick Place, Chicago at booth number 2468
Orion Health, Inc. a leading provider of clinical workflow and integration technology for the heath care sector, today announces Concerto Clinical Documentation, a solution that helps healthcare workers efficiently and automatically capture clinical notes for a more complete electronic health record (EHR). The company makes this announcement from the 2009 Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition at McCormick Place in Chicago, where they are exhibiting at booth number 2468.
As hospitals and healthcare organizations are striving to reduce their dependency on paper-based systems and move to adopt EHRs, they are seeking new ways to ease the documentation process, streamline workflow and improve the accuracy of record keeping. Concerto Clinical Documentation provides healthcare workers with easy- to-use template-based tools that can be customized to include pre-populated patient data and quick check box features to speed information capture and improve accuracy.
Paul Viskovich, Orion Health President North America and Europe Middle East and Africa, says Concerto Clinical Documentation was designed to help hospitals cut down on redundant data entry, reduce errors in care from inaccurate data, meet stringent document requirements and improve communication within and across organizations.
"Paper-based systems are inefficient, unsecure, and difficult to audit. The requirements for clinical documentation are increasing and administrators need tools to monitor documentation compliance. By providing physicians with an easy way to meet health record keeping standards, Concerto Clinical Documentation delivers a measurable return on investment through time and effort to deliver complete clinical data," Viskovich continues.
Concerto Clinical Documentation allows for delivery of a medications reconciliation solution as recommended by the Joint Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). Healthcare staff can record the medications that the patient was taking at home, the medications they are taking in the hospital and the medications that they should take following discharge from the hospital. Changes to medications can be documented, helping to avoid medication errors such as omissions and duplications.
Concerto Clinical Documentation features a Forms Designer tool that enables administrators to easily and intuitively design and build document templates. The Forms Designer saves time and reduces the need for consulting or technical expertise. It allows users to engage in consensus building and the capability of viewing the results of clinical input in a real time setting.
Concerto Clinical Documentation provides healthcare workers with access to complete clinical data, tools to 'mine' data, create reports and analyze trends in patient outcomes. It also enables physicians to identify improvements in treatment options and support documentation for eReferrals.
Physicians can add information directly into Concerto Clinical Documentation or can dictate notes into their preferred dictation system. Concerto Clinical Documentation accepts notes from dictation systems and routes the records to ensure final sign off.
About Concerto Clinical Documentation
Concerto Clinical Documentation enables physicians and healthcare workers to capture clinical data from a wide variety of typically paper-based forms and information gathering devices. Data sources include admission notes, patient progress and surgeries along with nursing assessment forms, pharmacy updates, discharge and transfer summaries.
Concerto Clinical Documentation helps to manage workflow, accept notes manually or through dictation systems and ensure that all notes receive physicians' signatures before they are filed. Administrators can use Concerto Clinical Documentation to monitor the status of the documentation and ensure they are compliant with state and federal requirements.
