On-Line Advantage eCharting utilizes state-of-the-art wireless technology to allow your clinical staff to document at the resident’s bedside in real-time. Designed for use with On-Line Advantage Clinical Care Solutions, eCharting allows your clinical staff to spend less time on cumbersome paperwork and more time caring for residents.
Document medications as you dispense them with eCharting’s electronic MAR. Scheduled medications are highlighted for easy identification. With the touch of a button, each medication is recorded on the resident’s MAR with the administering clinician’s initials. As PRN medications are dispensed, the system prompts for documentation to support the medication given. The MAR summary screen shows a variety of daily statistics including up-to-the-minute counts of medications dispensed, number of medications pending, medications dispensed late, and more. Detailed information can be accessed and sorted for monitoring and quality assurance purposes. A variety of summary and detail reports or individual MAR sheets can be displayed or printed.
eCharting also includes the capability to document treatments as part of ePass. Treatments are entered through the physician order program as the order is taken. That order then automatically flows to the electronic treatment program where treatments are highlighted by time or shift based on when they should be given. Notes can be made as well as prompts on treatments to alert the user of additional tasks required for that treatment. With the touch of a button, treatments are documented and recorded on the TAR. A variety of reports are available, including analytical reporting, treatment records, and administrative reporting to track late treatments, etc.
With eCharting, standardized, facility-specific Nurses Notes can be entered with just a few clicks to provide more consistent documentation and allow the data to flow to other areas of the system. Charted information can be flagged for follow-up and viewed or sorted in a variety of different ways to streamline and improve communication at shift change. Plus, frontline staff can enter resident data electronically with User-Defined Assessments, right at the bedside. The collected information is then available to the MDS Coordinator to facilitate and support proper MDS coding.
The unique design of eCharting provides the capability to analyze the data that is collected for trending and statistical reporting. The Report Generator allows you to build customized reports on any categories of data that are charted. For example, you can build a report of every resident temperature that was greater than 98.0, or all falls that occurred during a specific time of day, or in a specific location. Reports can be sorted in Alphabetical order, Room Order, Wing order or Assignment. Plus, you can save your report criteria selections as a template for later use, export the data to Microsoft Excel, or print the reports.
With wireless technology, the network connection remains intact to allow real-time documentation, so there is no need to update or "sync" the database back at the workstation. Tablet PCs or handheld devices (PDAs) may be used by frontline personnel to collect data at the point of care. In lieu of a wireless network, eCharting can also be used in a traditional connected LAN environment with handheld synchronized devices or kiosks mounted throughout the facility. On-site training and staged implementation ensure that your staff will gain a high level of comfort and confidence with each component of the system before another is introduced.
