Susan Vickery, Dava Zavodnick, Santina Allen, QuadraMed Multidisciplinary Initial Patient Assessment (target audience is QCPR clients) West Park Health Care center is implementing a multidisciplinary initial patient assessment electronically within Quadramed CPR. While many sites implement assessments using the assessment functionality along with the visit and patient historic assessment categories in CPR, unconventionally we decided to utilize the result documentation functionality and use data element dependencies (DEDs). This approach allowed us to create complex, highly clinically relevant screens that are easy for clinicians to navigate. We were also able to pull information forward from previous documentation using more complex criteria than would be possible with assessment data elements alone.

D., Daughters of Charity Health Systems (Seton Medical Center) Kim Schmidt, RN, Daughters of Charity Health Systems (Saint Louise Regional Hospital) Monte Schachner, RRT, Daughters of Charity Health Systems (Seton Medical Center) Meaningful Use What Will it Mean and How Will I Get There?

Discussion of the impact to QCPR sites at varying stages of implementation, and description of the services available from QuadraMed to assist our clients in demonstration of meaningful use. Linda Baum, QuadraMed University Health Network's Medication Report Suite (target audience is Affinity, Pharmacy and QCPR clients) Medication Ordering and administration is a powerful part of Quadramed CPR. University Health Network implemented inpatient Medication Order Entry/Medication Administration Record (MOE/MAR) in two acute care facilities, in multiple care settings including ICU. Clinicians found that while the built in CPR functionality offered many different views of medication information, it was still difficult to get a comprehensive view of a patients medication on a single level. In response we developed a series of HTML and printable reports to present the users with a clinically view reminiscent of the paper MAR. They are divided into event (dose) centric, order centric and procedure centric views. We also developed a report for system downtime. Christopher Kebbel, University Health Network
