Order Optimizer delivers on the promise of evidence-based protocols, without the expense and risk of traditional CPOE. Its web architecture enables "anywhere" access to maintenance-free, merged order sets.

Order Optimizer is an Automated Admissions Decision Support (AADS) software platform which improves the time-consuming, manual process of creating admission orders for incoming patients. Conceived by physicians of Intercede Health, a hospitalist services company, Order Optimizer provides comprehensive support for evidence-based admissions orders.

Installed in weeks, physician-productive in one day, measurable ROI immediately.

• The web-based platform provides more than 180 certified, diagnoses-specific order sets to help physicians utilize evidence-based treatment plans, and can also support customer specified or 3rd party orders.

   

• A unique order set merging engine assists physicians in quickly creating concise, comprehensive evidence-based treatment plans.

   

• Delivered over the Internet through a “Software as a Service” model, Order Optimizer requires no additional hospital IT headcount or capital infrastructure, while allowing physicians greater workflow and flexibility.

Improving the quality of care while lowering its cost burden is a top priority on the national stage. However, the most commonly endorsed solution – computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems – require millions of dollars and years to implement. With mandates looming to foster evidence-based care and comply with core clinical measures, hospitals are facing difficult decisions.

 
There is an alternative: Automated Admissions Decision Support (AADS).

 
The Order Optimizer AADS differs from traditional CPOE systems in many ways:

Merging Engine:
A proprietary, patent-pending algorithm automatically creates a concise, merged order set for multiple diagnoses. Physicians no longer have to strike duplicate tests, drugs and therapies from redundant clinical pathways, performing “mental merging” in the course of creating a treatment plan for complex patients. The system generates a high quality, evidence based, error free, concise care plan in less time than traditional paper or non-merged online alternatives.

Favorites:
Order Optimizer allows physicians and other care providers to develop pre-populated evidence-based order set templates, which can be merged or changed by the physician on an as needed basis. Favorites speed the order generation process by enabling physicians to document by exception, rather than repetition.

Prompts and Alerts:
Order Optimizer guides the physician through drug, allergy, and duplicate therapy considerations, as it alerts physicians to quality guidelines such as Core Measures. These cues provided during the order creation process reduce errors, ensure quality, and eliminate inefficiencies from care team callbacks.

Evidence Based Protocol Content Management:
Our parameter-driven content management system allows order sets to be rapidly customized for site-specific medications and protocols of care, which further accelerates the pace at which physician can choose familiar, cost effective treatment options.

• Order Optimizer is an award winning, web-based platform that differs from traditional HIS systems. Its Software as a Service “SaaS” model, means physicians can use evidence-based protocols at the point of care, anywhere.

   

• SaaS enables rapid deployment and speeds time to ROI.

   

• Web architecture means hospitals are freed from capital expenditures and associated headcount.

   

• Parameter-driven customization offers physicians and facilities the system they want, quickly.

   

• A real-time data warehouse and comprehensive dashboards allow you to affect patient care and clinical performance at the right time – while the patient is still in the hospital.

   

• Order Optimizer's content management system allows it to be content agnostic. Customers wishing to utilize proprietary or 3rd party licensed order sets may do so. The certified Order Optimizer content is updated on a continuous basis – freeing hospitals from the pain of protocol management. First Databank's embedded medical dictionary provides relevant, unobtrusive patient safety guidance to physicians, where and when they need it.

   

Order Optimizer’s Six Sigma-based Implementation Methodology allows facilities to be live on a completely personalized AADS in nine weeks. The methodology ensures that all clinical team members are familiar with Order Optimizer's benefits and features and are ready to be productive.
