Computerized Physician Order Entry System |
|
| Amount Requested: $500,000 |
|
| Funding is requested to implement a Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) System, in collaboration with Kent County Memorial Hospital, that is part of a comprehensive medical information system within Care New England. The project will include the building and deployment of a computerized system which will allow physicians to enter orders for patient care, medication, diagnostic testing, etc., with immediate access to current patient information and best practice treatment options, whether the physician is in the hospital or accessing remotely via a secure internet access. This project will have a direct impact on the cost and quality of health care provided to citizens in the Southern New England region and it will create four information technology jobs, and greatly benefit a low income area. | |
