Key Benefits of QuadraMed CPR's CPOE Features Include:

Comprehensive decision support

Clinical decision support is at the core of QuadraMed CPR and is a key element in its ability to improve the delivery and management of patient care. QuadraMed CPR reminds, prompts and questions based on existing information regarding the patient's state of health, medications taken and other relevant data. It provides workflow tools to improve the delivery and management of patient care, including:

  • knowledge-based guidelines that are fully integrated with clinician workflow
  • customized guidelines and protocols driven by a flexible rules engine
  • decision support rules, which are continuously checked in real-time
  • a rules based protocol that gathers, analyzes and draws rule-based conclusions, which it then displays to clinicians within the context of their workflows
  • alerts are synchronized with clinician workflow
  • rules can be adapted to decision-support points to alert clinicians to alternatives, relate to diagnoses, suggest customer-defined care actions and automatically generate an order based on care documentation
  • coordinates patient care across departments and clinicians using institution-approved workflow standards
  • takes clinical decision support to the next level, increasing efficiency and effectiveness, improving patient care and decreasing costs
