Dream Factory by TruBridge Ideas Portal
A way to "copy forward" the key parts of a visit when a patient transfers from Acute to Swing - ie orders, meds, etc. so that the providers don't have to enter them all again. Have a way to confirm the ones that stay the same. It is a lot of repetition for the providers and time they don't need to waste.
Michelle, this functionality is not really available in the way it needs to be. The PHYSICIAN should be able to intiate the transfer of the orders so they go in as a direct CPOE order, instead of as a telephone order. It is NOT acceptable practice to have a nurse take a whole page of orders verbally....read them all back and then proceed. It is also not good practice to enter them as "written" as then they must be written..... Just please add this ability to the provider cpoe work flow and remove the middlemen.
Yes- The providers are extremely frustrated by this. It also puts more burden on the bedside nurse and creates another portal for error in CPOE. Please add this ability to providers ASAP.
Note: This option is currently available for Nursing... Transfer Orders.
