1 What IMPACT Means to Physicians November 2014 Physician Champion: William Bradshaw, MD, FACS

2  Changes for nurses and other departments will include: – All medications will be bar-coded, including IV Fluids. – Bedside monitors will automatically feed vital signs into the electronic chart for patients in the ICU, PACU, and certain beds in the Emergency Department.  Clinicians and staff will continue to perform the following daily functions: – Administer medications only after cross-checking the bar-coded label on the drug with the bar-coded wrist band on the patient’s arm. – Document directly into the computer as care is delivered (not on sticky notes or kardexes). – Give shift reports by looking at the information that was documented directly into the computer. A Glimpse of Our Future with IMPACT 2

3  Changes for physicians – Physicians will look up patient information in the Cerner electronic chart from any wireless-enabled location (within the hospital or from their office, home, or remote location). – Orders will be entered electronically or immediate action by all departments in Cerner. With Cerner CPOE, physicians will enter their own orders to ensure that all the rules, alerts, contraindications, drug interactions, and other clinical decision support are acted upon at the time of order entry.  Changes for our hospital – Hospitals must attest to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that we are “meaningful users” of technology, based on information that we capture (including physician use of CPOE) in our Cerner electronic records. – Our compliance affects eligibility for ARRA incentives in the form of Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement.
