Ever expanding...

Hi! 
Welcome and thanks for checking out our blog. The Clinical Informatics Teams have been involved in many projects to expand electronic documentation at Baystate Health over the last few months. Here is a quick list of what the inpatient team has been up to and may be coming to a computer near you in the future:

• Interactive Flowsheets (IView) and Progress notes for APTU/ MHU
• Sally Irelan
• Patient Education (Krames material) and Depart for all inpatient units
•  Nicki McAvoy
• CPOE(order entry)/ PPID (med scanning) for Ambulatory surgery at all 3 facilities
• Steven Downs and Sally Irelan
• Expansion of forms library to include ED and Surgical units
• Steven Downs
• Nursing Communication Mpage
• Sally Irelan

Ever expanding... and always optimizing: We also continue to work with staff to make what already exists in CIS to be easier to access and help staff provide safer care:

• Concentrated Potassium replacement in NICU - nurse witness task and care set
• Nicki McAvoy
• Standard Interventions in Nursing Care Plans 
• Sally Irelan
• Redesign of Skin/ Wound Documentation screens
• Sally Irelan

This is of course a very short list of the projects and requests we are working on. Please feel free to contact any of us with questions or comments.
