Today, a mere 2% of hospitals operate paperlessly. The majority are still years away from full EMR adoption. Order Optimizer is a tool for today which trains clinical users for an increasingly intensive digital future. With no negative impact on clinical workflow, an intuitive design which allows users to employ the system to its full potential in minutes, and minimal drain on IT resources and capital budgets – the return on investment is assured. Seamless integration means doctors can continue to enjoy Order Optimizer productivity, even as the hospital HIS system evolves.

The skill with which a provider offers inpatient care can be measured in their ability to successfully restore health and to avoid causing harm, and to do so in a cost effective manner.

By helping physicians follow hospital-defined best care practices, Order Optimizer ensures that each patient receives the proper care. One of the greatest benefits of Order Optimizer is not only in the orders it facilitates, but in the reduction of unnecessary orders. Order Optimizer prompts and alerts provide assistance in preventing the ordering of unnecessary, duplicative, or incorrect tests.

Order Optimizer is a powerful tool in preventing adverse events. Medication errors are the most common medical mishap in hospitals – often through erroneous physician ordering.

Order Optimizer’s prompts and alerts assist in medication selection based on appropriate evidence, suggest appropriate dosing, avoid therapy duplications or interactions and prevent prescribing medications to which the patient is allergic.

A testament to the success of hospitals using Order Optimizer is their ability to send patients home with sustainably improved health.

After implementing Order Optimizer for their Hospitalists, one facility’s Hospitalists reported that their 30-day readmission rate fell 1/3 below the hospital mean, and 22% below the regional mean.

In contrast to CPOE investment, Order Optimizer allows Hospitals to quickly impact cost and quality of care. Deployed in weeks with high levels of physician acceptance and unparalleled real-time analytics dashboards, Order Optimizer is the smart financial choice in today’s economic climate.

Efficient and appropriate care is good business. By helping physicians accurately document, avoid errors, and apply best practices, hospitals increase revenues and avoid unnecessary costs.

After implementing Order Optimizer for their Hospitalists, one hospital saw a dramatic improvement in several key financial and quality metrics:

Decreased Length of Stay (LOS) – The facility’s Hospitalists have a LOS 28% below the mean for the hospital, even though they admit 50% of the patients that constitute the mean.

Lower Cost per Admission – The facility’s Hospitalists cost per admission is 19% below the hospital mean, and 22% below the regional mean.

In today’s RAC Audit world, failure to consistently document patient care can cost money – real money. Order Optimizer automates commonly overlooked audit concerns, including admission justification, testing and protocol justification, and physician signature & timestamp.

Order Optimizer helps hospitals achieve compliance with patient safety mandates from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and The Joint Commission (TJC).

Order Optimizer strictly adheres to safe medical nomenclatures and approved abbreviations per TJC mandates. The system measures performance and documentation of TJC Core Measures and other important clinical indicators of care.

After implementing Order Optimizer for their Hospitalists, a large hospital saw a dramatic improvement in Joint Commission/CMS Core Measures Compliance.

Assisted by Order Optimizer’s “Smart Alerts”, the facility’s Hospitalists achieved 100% compliance of these financially-incented patient safety metrics.
