Outpatient Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE): CPOE is a process of electronic entry of medical practitioner instructions for the treatment of patients. These orders are communicated electronically to the medical staff or to the departments ( pharmacy , laboratory, or radiology ) responsible for fulfilling the order. CPOE decreases delay in order completion, reduces errors related to handwriting or transcription , allows order entry at point-of-care or off-site, provides error-checking for duplicate or incorrect doses or tests, and simplifies inventory and posting of charges. Included in this work is the imple! mentation of workflow process changes to support CPOE for providers, nu! rsing, team coordinators and essential service departments including electronic signature process. The team will also be expected to standardize and embed evidence-based content into SCCA outpatient order sets.
ICD10 Implementation: ICD10 is the internationally accepted version of diagnosis and procedure coding methodology. The transition from ICD9, which is currently used, to ICD10 is considered in the healthcare community to be the most complex change for the IS health care system in decades. The project includes conducting an assessment of impacts to technology/IS, functional areas, third party vendors, and clinical documentation; defining and implementing process change; developing and executing a training plan; implementing IT system changes and new IT systems. This project is critical for the SCCA to remain compliant with HIPAA requirements.
