Abstract

Objective:

To assess adherence to clinical protocols in the emergency department after the implementation of embedded order panels in the electronic health record.

Materials And Methods:

Due to infrequent use, a subset of order sets were redesigned as embedded order panels in a menu-style quick list. Usage was measured before and after implementation at seven departments.

Results:

There were 2,247 applicable encounters during the pre-intervention period and 1,723 post-intervention. The use of order sets increased significantly after implementation (14% vs. 33% or encounters, p < 0.001). Traditional order sets required at least seven keystrokes or mouse clicks, while embedded order panels required only two.

Discussion And Conclusion:

Use of order sets increased after implementation of embedded order panels; however, they were still only used for about one-third of applicable encounters suggesting that more work is needed to increase treatment protocol adherence and electronic health record efficiency.

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Obedience

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Drug Therapy

Drug Therapy

The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.
