Patient Care Software Application

Pathways Care Manager supports patient-focused care and multidisciplinary care teams with electronic flowsheet charting, support for comprehensive critical pathways, and specialized clinical applications. These capabilities yield several benefits for the health enterprise, including improved quality through process improvement; reduced overtime required for charting; decreases in medication errors; multidisciplinary guidelines in management; more time spent with patients through the use of mobile computing; and ability to fulfill requirements of the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).

The system enables clinicians to gain access to patient information from disparate sources like the laboratory, pharmacy, and radiology departments. It also allows health enterprises to enhance the capabilities of existing hospital information systems, allowing them to preserve and extend current HIS investments. The system's applications include medical/surgical care, critical care, emergency care, obstetrical care, pediatric care, respiratory care, or clinical profile.

In addition to specialized applications to support clinicians across a wide variety of care settings, it also offers multidisciplinary order entry and order management, clinical guidelines and outcomes management solutions for physician order entry, order management, guidelines manager, or clinical query.
