1007  -­‐  Off  to  See  the  Wizard  of  EDM...  A  Journey  Down  the  Yellow  Brick  Road  Presenters:    Deborah  Lake  and  Paul  Bleim  Organization:    Fitzgibbon  Hospital,  Marshall,  Missouri    Abstract:    Moving  to  electronic  documentation  in  the  Emergency  Department  will  increase  patient  safety,  faster  turnaround  times,  improved  communication,  and  ensure  proper  documentation  for  reimbursement.    Of  course  this  did  not  come  without  resistance  and  fear.    Even  though  we  successfully  have  been  LIVE  with  EDM  Phase  I  we  still  have  part  of  the  Yellow  Brick  road  ahead  of  us  …  but  we  now  know  most  of  the  fear  is  gone,  and  the  journey  will  become  easier.    Fitzgibbon  Hospital  is  a  small  rural  Facility  10  miles  north  of  I-­‐70  in  mid-­‐Missouri.    We  would  like  to  share  our  travel  down  that  Yellow  Brick  road  and  discuss  our  trials,  tribulations,  and  success.    This  all  was  possible  because  of  a  pro-­‐active  ED  Nurse  Manager,  and  a  positive  EDM  Core  Team.    Our  presentation  will  discuss  what  we  determined  as  our  most  important  areas  for  success:  

• Choosing  the  right  Core  Team  Members  • Assigning  task  to  the  Core  Team  • Reviewing  Core  Team  Progress  • Developing  Educational  Material  • Education  • Parallel  Testing  • Assignment  of  Reviewing  Documentation  • GO  LIVE!  • Post  Go  LIVE  Lessons  Learned  

 Off  to  see  the  Wizard  of  EDM  …  Fitzgibbon  Hospital  began  their  journey  in  February  2011  on  the  Yellow  Brick  Road.  The  EDM  Core  Team  was  selected  by  our  ED  Nurse  Director,  and  training  began.    The  first  part  of  our  project  was  focus  on  getting  bedside  nurses  to  understand  MEDITECH  language  (CDS,  query).    The  next  step  of  most  importance:    determining  what  types  of  devices  would  be  most  effective  to  be  used  in  the  ED.    Many  hours  were  spent  reviewing  and  researching  the  types  of  devices  that  were  best  of  Fitzgibbon  to  travel  down  the  Yellow  Brick  road  to  success!    Our  team  reviewed  their  current  paper  method  of  documentation,  and  began  to  build  their  documentation  screens  in  EDM.    Parallel  testing  was  most  important  to  our  success.    In  the  beginning  of  the  parallel  phase  most  of  the  ED  staff  did  not  understand  the  importance,  but  it  became  very  clear  to  the  staff  the  more  you  practice  the  better  you  become!    Fitzgibbon  ED  staff  paralleled  for  about  30  days  prior  to  go  LIVE.    On  October  11,  2011  at  0800,  Fitzgibbon  ED  went  LIVE  with  EDM  Phase  I  nursing  documentation.    The  road  down  the  Yellow  Brick  road  is  more  than  half  way  completed  and  that  half  was  more  successful  than  any  person  at  the  faculty  ever  dreamed!    Thanks  to  a  dedicated  Core  Team,  Nurse  Director,  and  hard  work  by  the  ED  staff.    Big  Board  …  

Page 4: 2012 Educational Presentations

Using  a  Big  Board  (Tracker)  has  shortened  the  wait  times  in  the  ED  by  about  30  minutes.    Since  everyone  has  the  ability  at  a  glance  to  review  the  patient  load,  resulted  orders,  and  time  waiting,  EDM  has  made  a  HUGE  difference  in  customer  satisfaction  to  date.    Ruby  Slippers…  Providers  wanted  to  click  their  heels  and  stay  in  their  paper  world,  but  the  EDM  nursing  staff  gave  the  providers  a  heart!    Like  anything  else  change  is  hard!    It  is  extremely  difficult  when  the  providers  are  accustomed  to  a  piece  of  paper  to  give  them  the  information  they  may  need.    Fitzgibbon  providers  came  out  of  their  tornado  ridden  house,  and  landed  right  on  that  Witch  of  the  West  and  skipped  right  on  down  that  Yellow  Brick  road  with  enthusiasm,  cooperation,  and  skill!        Deborah  Lake,  RN/BSN,  IT  Clinical  Coordinator,  has  worked  as  a  bedside  nurse  for  over  20  years,  but  started  her  Nursing  Informatics  Career  seven  years  ago.    She  worked  at  another  facility  that  went  with  a  “big  bang”  MEDITECH  implementation,  and  since  has  been  working  at  Fitzgibbon  Hospital  in  Marshall,  Missouri.              1008  -­‐  How  to  Keep  Your  Cost  Accounting  Implementation  Moving  and  Avoid  the  Dreaded  “Stagnant”  Status  Presenter:    Chad  McLaughlin  Organization:    Stamford  Health  System,  Stamford,  Connecticut    Abstract:    The  Cost  Accounting  application  can  be  hard  to  take  seriously.    It  is  not  required  for  a  system  go-­‐Live,  and,  as  in  Stamford  Hospital’s  case,  it  can  be  implemented  years  after  the  main  go-­‐Live.    Many  customers  do  not  even  purchase  the  product.    Those  that  do  purchase  it  run  the  risk  of  a  stagnant  project  because  of  the  massive  amount  of  effort  involved  in  the  implementation  and  the  stress  of  making  the  right  system  configuration  decisions.    Attempts  at  pressing  the  MEDITECH  team  for  answers  and  guidance  can  easily  result  in  frustration  due  to  the  perception  of  “wishy-­‐washy’  answers  like  “There’s  no  one  right  way  to  do  it.”  or  “Customers  have  done  this  in  many  different  ways  –  I  can’t  tell  you  which  one  is  most  popular.”        But  the  benefits  of  Cost  Accounting  are  immense:  even  a  little  insight  into  the  true  costs  of  procedures  can  be  a  great  help  when  negotiating  reimbursements  with  insurance  companies  and  analyzing  department  performance.        When  embarking  on  a  Cost  Accounting  implementation,  it  is  important  to  realize  that  the  MEDITECH  Specialists  are  there  to  show  you  how  the  software  works,  not  necessarily  to  consult  you  in  the  best  configuration  strategy,  and  it  is  very  easy  to  find  yourself  leading  a  stalled  project.    This  presentation  will  cover:  

• The  Cost  Accounting  implementation  experience  at  Stamford  Hospital  from  an  IT  perspective.  

Page 5: 2012 Educational Presentations

• Stamford  Hospital’s  methodical,  step-­‐by-­‐step  Cost  Accounting  processing  guide.    Future  customers  may  use  this  document  as  a  starting  point  for  their  own  procedures,  and  current  customers  may  use  it  to  adjust  existing  procedures.  

• Useful  custom  reports  developed  at  Stamford  Hospital  that  can  aid  in  the  Cost  Accounting  implementation  and  regular  processing.  

     Chad  McLaughlin  is  a  Senior  Systems  Analyst  at  Stamford  Hospital  supporting  various  financial  and  administrative  applications,  including  some  MEDITECH  products.    In  his  previous  position,  he  was  employed  at  MEDITECH  for  nearly  a  decade  implementing  general  financial  applications  and  Scanning  &  Archiving.        1009  -­‐  Tarot  Cards  and  Tea  Leaves  –  Reading  Your  Teams  and  Changing  the  Future  Presenter:    Yvonne  Martin  Organization:    Betsy  Johnson  Regional  Hospital,  Dunn,  North  Carolina    Abstract:    Whether  you  are  migrating,  upgrading  or  implementing  if  you  have  teams  you  must  know  how  to  read  them.  Based  on  what  you  read  you  can  guide  them  using  your  knowledge  of  their  strengths  and  weaknesses.  Harnett  Health  System  went  live  on  6.02  on  February  1,  2012.  Teams  were  comprised  of  personnel  recruited  from  their  departments  and  many  had  never  worked  on  the  background  of  a  computer  system.  This  presentation  will  show  how  one  IT  support  person  examined  her  teams  and  made  the  most  of  what  she  had.      Yvonne  Martin  is  a  Systems  Analyst  at  Harnett  Health  System  in  Dunn,  North  Carolina.  For  the  six  migration  she  supported  LAB,  PHA,  ITS  and  EDM  and  was  lead  for  RD/RW.  She  began  her  experience  with  the  MEDITECH  system  when  she  built  the  LAB  module  for  a  hospital  in  Baton  Rouge  in  1997.        1010  -­‐  Tying  It  All  Together:    Discharge  through  ePrescribing  Presenter:    Sheila  Smith  Organization:    Stamford  Health  System,  Stamford,  Connecticut    Abstract:    Stamford  Hospital,  a  MEDITECH  CS  5.65  site,  has  recently  implemented  ePrescribing  and  fully  integrated  the  discharge  &  medication  reconciliation  processes.    Join  us  in  a  lively  discussion  as  we  share  our  pearls,  pitfalls,  and  lessons  learned  in  automating  the  discharge  process.    Presentation  topics:  

• Design/Build  • Testing  • Training  • Pilot    • House  wide  Go-­‐LIVE  • User  Adoption  • Questions  &  Answers

1013  -­‐  How  to  Win  Friends  and  Influence  Doctors:    Physician  Engagement  Helps  Beaufort  Memorial  Hospital  Reach  Stage  1  and  Beyond  Presenter:    Ed  Ricks  Organization:    Beaufort  Memorial  Hospital,  Beaufort,  South  Carolina    Abstract:    As  a  technology  leader  in  the  healthcare  market,  the  move  to  EMR  was  a  foregone  conclusion  from  the  start  at  Beaufort  Memorial  Hospital.      Yet,  while  the  long-­‐term  benefits  that  a  paperless  environment  would  have  on  hospital  efficiency,  PHI  security  and  improved  patient  outcomes  were  substantial,  the  immediate  impact  on  caregiver  workflow  had  the  potential  to  turn  clinicians  away.    New  online  systems  would  introduce  more  complex  passwords  to  users  already  overburdened  with  remembering  credentials.    Multiple  log  ins/out,  user  lock-­‐outs  and  time  spent  calling  the  help  desk  could  frustrate  users  and  jeopardize  the  EMR  project.    Any  technology  that  reduced  the  amount  of  time  spent  caring  for  patients  would  be  resisted  by  clinicians,  and  it  was  clear  that  electronic  engagement  was  going  to  be  a  challenge,  particularly  with  physicians.        For  Ed  Ricks,  Beaufort  Memorial  Hospital’s  VP  and  CIO,  understanding  the  physicians’  requirements  and  presenting  a  flexible  solution  that  actually  improved  their  productivity  –  while  at  the  same  time  securing  patient  data  –  was  key  to  their  engagement,  and  ultimately  attesting  for  Meaningful  Use.    By  rethinking  the  way  clinicians  access  the  data  they  need,  the  IT  team  was  able  to  develop  an  electronic  system  that  delivered  faster  workflows  and  higher  efficiency.    Through  a  combination  of  virtual  desktops,  single  sign-­‐on  and  strong  authentication,  clinicians  today  have  secure,  one-­‐touch  access  to  roaming  sessions  that  follow  them  throughout  their  shifts.    Users  access  data  at  standalone  office  PCs,  generic  shared  workstations,  and  virtual  roaming  desktops.  They  log  in  once  at  the  start  of  their  shifts,  and  move  throughout  their  day  during  a  predefined  grace  period,  logging  in  and  out  of  their  sessions  with  a  simple  tap  of  their  employee  ID  badges.    Physicians  have  been  delighted  with  the  results  as  the  information  they  need  is  always  at  their  fingertips.    They  are  spending  more  time  with  patients  and  less  time  clicking  through  applications  to  access  patient  records.    As  one  doctor  put  it,  “IT  has  finally  done  something  for  me  instead  of  to  me.”    In  this  presentation,  Ed  Ricks,  VP  and  CIO  at  Beaufort  Memorial  Hospital,  will  describe  the  path  that  his  team  took  to  reach  Stage  1  Meaningful  Use  and  how  they  won  over  doctors  and  nurses  by  redefining  the  parameters  of  access  to  PHI.        Learning  Objectives:  

• Learn  how  to  design  a  system  that  users  will  embrace    • Understand  the  benefits  and  nuances  of  a  virtualized  desktop  environment  • Avoid  common  mistakes  made  during  the  implementation  and  deployment  of  EMR    • Become  familiar  with  technologies  that  can  help  speed  EMR  adoption  by  physicians  • Recognize  the  value  that  different  SSO  and  Strong  Authentication  solutions  can  bring  to  your  

EMR  project    Ed  Ricks,  MHA,  CPHIMS,  CHPS,  has  more  than  20  years  of  experience  in  healthcare  information  systems.  Prior  to  becoming  Vice  President  of  Information  Services  and  CIO  at  Beaufort  Memorial,  he  served  in  the  same  roll  at  Samaritan  Medical  Center  in  Watertown,  N.Y.  Ricks  earned  a  Bachelor  of  Science  degree  in  computer  science  from  Central  Michigan  University  and  a  Master  of  Health  Administration  degree  from  the  University  of  North  Carolina  in  Chapel  Hill.

1016  -­‐  Integrate,  Interface,  Innovate!  Presenter:    Sherry  Montileone  Organization:    Citizens  Memorial  Hospital,  Bolivar,  Missouri    Abstract:    At  Citizens  Memorial  Hospital,  our  goal  is  to  provide  the  most  efficient  EMR  possible.    We  believe  that  if  you  make  the  system  fast,  reliable  and  the  "one  stop  shop"  for  data  -­‐  people  will  use  it  and  that's  good  for  everyone.        Attend  this  session  to  see  how  we:  

• Integrate  data  from  other  systems  (link  from  the  EMR,  no  additional  login  required)  • Interface  data  with  other  systems  (some  standard  interfaces  and  some  not  so  standard..)  • Innovate  (send  /  receive  data  from  a  third-­‐party  vendor,  get  outside  PACS  images  and  OB  

records  into  the  system,  etc.)        Sherry  Montileone  has  30  years  of  IT  experience.    She  has  worked  with  Citizens  Memorial  Hospital  since  2000  assisting  with  the  award  winning  implementation  of  the  MEDITECH  system  in  multiple  Acute,  LTC  and  clinic  settings.        1017  -­‐  Personal  Health  Records  and  Patient  Portals:  To  Infinity  and  Beyond!  Presenter:    Karrie  Ingram  Organization:    Citizens  Memorial  Hospital,  Bolivar,  Missouri    Abstract:    In  this  technologically  savvy  age,  patient  portals  and  personal  health  records  are  a  great  way  to  engage  our  patients  as  part  of  their  own  healthcare  team.  Like  Woody  and  Buzz,  they  are  different,  each  having  their  own  unique  qualities  and  purposes.      Patient  Portals  offer  the  convenience  of  accessing  their  medical  record,  communicating  with  their  physician's  office,  keeping  track  of,  requesting  and  rescheduling  appointments,  online  bill  pay,  printing  med  list  or  immunization  record  from  home  or  workplace,  any  time  of  day.    PHR's  can  house  their  medical  information  as  well  as  data  they  find  pertinent,  from  ODL's  to  a  record  of  preventative  health  measures,  chronic  disease  management  techniques  and  more.      Benefits  aren't  just  for  the  patient!  Both  can  help  you  meet  Meaningful  Use  measures.  You’ve  got  a  friend  in  Portals  and  PHR’s  Come  take  part  in  a  discussion  about  current  use,  benefits,  engagement  strategies,  and  what  we  need  in  the  future  as  these  two  products  evolve  and  help  us  take  our  patient’s  records  “to  infinity  and  beyond”!      Karrie  Ingram  joined  Citizens  Memorial  Hospital  (CMH)  in  2002  to  lead  the  MEDITECH  implementation  for  CMH's  long  term  care  facilities.  She  transitioned  to  supporting  the  MPM  Suite  for  CMH's  25+  clinics  in  2008  and  has  led  implementation  projects  including  the  Patient  Portal,  e-­‐Prescribing,  and  external  document  scanning.    Prior  to  CMH,  she  spent  several  years  in  Project  Management  and  attained  her  PMP  certification  in  2011.  Her  next  adventure  is  as  Project  Manager  for  a  recently  awarded  HRSA  Rural  Health  IT  Network  Development  Grant.

 1023  -­‐  One  Discharge  Intervention  –  Endless  Possibilities  Presenters:    Donna  Haid,  Lisa  Marra,  and  Patti  Grandinetti  Organization:    Butler  Health  System,  Butler,  Pennsylvania    Abstract:    In  the  past  year,  the  electronic  medical  record  team  identified  an  opportunity  to  streamline  the  discharge  process  using  lean  methodology.  The  process  goal  was  to  give  better  instruction  using  less  nursing  time.    Previously  the  patient  received  discharge  instructions  for  each  diagnosis  and  or  procedure.  This  duplicated  the  discharge  medication  list  for  each  discharge  instruction  chosen.  The  team  was  able  to  decrease  these  instructions  from  sixty  to  one  discharge  form.  The  physician’s  office  phone  number  now  defaults  when  the  staff  enter  the  physician’s  mnemonic.  Previously,  when  regulatory  requirements  changed,  sixty  discharge  instructions  required  revisions;  now  only  one  needs  to  be  revised.  Discharge  instructions  can  now  have  graphics  and  the  font  and  format  are  no  longer  limited.  The  discharge  instructions  include  required  queries  to  meet  CORE  measures.  The  charge  nurse/team  leader  can  now  complete  the  discharge  instructions,  print  them,  and  have  them  ready  to  give  to  the  nurse  caring  for  the  patient  with  time  savings  of  thirty  minutes  per  discharge.  The  change  in  the  process  has  made  the  discharge  instructions  more  focused  and,  we  believe  more  understandable  for  the  patient.      Donna  Haid  is  the  Informatics  Manager  at  Butler  Health  System,  a  296-­‐bed  acute  care  facility  in  Butler,  PA.  She  has  worked  in  a  variety  of  nursing  positions  including  med/surg,  critical  care  and  quality  improvement.  She  developed  an  electronic  medical  record  team  consisting  of  front  line  staff  members.  This  multidisciplinary  team  identifies  revision  opportunities  in  the  MEDITECH  documentation  system  to  match  the  workflow  for  the  end  user.  This  team  has  been  instrumental  in  developing  computerized  provider  order  entry.  Haid  is  currently  pursuing  a  Masters  Degree  in  Nursing  Informatics.        Lisa  Marra  is  a  registered  nurse  at  Butler  Health  System,  working  as  a  telemetry/med/surg  nurse.  She  serves  as  a  front  line  staff  member  on  the  electronic  medical  record  committee,  a  multidisciplinary  team  which  identifies  opportunities  to  improve  the  MEDITECH  documentation  system  to  match  the  workflow  for  the  end  user.  This  team  was  also  instrumental  in  the  implementation  of  computerized  provider  order  entry.  She  is  currently  pursuing  a  Bachelors  Degree  in  Nursing.    Patti  Grandinetti,  a  registered  nurse  at  Butler  Health  System,  works  in  the  obstetrics-­‐gynecology  department.  Grandinetti  is  a  member  of  a  multidisciplinary  team  which  addresses  opportunities  to  improve  the  MEDITECH  documentation  to  match  the  workflow  for  the  end  user.  This  team  was  also  instrumental  in  the  implementation  of  computerized  provider  order  entry.        1024  -­‐  Engaging  the  Patient  While  Working  with  the  Electronic  Record  Presenter:    Kim  Maples  Organization:    Citizens  Memorial  Hospital,  Bolivar,  Missouri    Abstract:    With  the  implementation  of  technology  in  healthcare,  there  is  always  the  criticism  by  staff  that  the  computer  takes  away  from  hands  on  patient  care  and  is  actually  a  barrier  to  effective  healthcare.  Citizens  Memorial  Healthcare  (CMH)  has  been  successful  with  their  implementation  of  healthcare  technology  in  their  organization  and  continues  to  pursue  effective  ways  to  integrate  technology  to  improve  patient  care.  This  success  has  led  them  to  pursue  ways  to  dispel  the  myth  that  

Page 14: 2012 Educational Presentations

technology  is  a  barrier  to  patient  care  and  can  actually  be  a  great  tool  to  provide  better,  more  effective  health  care  to  patients.      As  the  White  Rabbit  sings:  “I'm  late.  I'm  late.  For  a  very  important  date.  No  time  to  say  Hello.  Goodbye.  I'm  late,  I'm  late,  I'm  late.”    In  healthcare’s  fast  paced  world,  CMH  has  been  able  to  offer  workshops  to  all  of  their  clinical  staff  and  new  clinical  employees  to  train  on  ways  to  provide  patient  care  and  utilize  technology  without  adding  any  more  time  to  their  busy  day.    The  benefit  is  improved  patient  healthcare,  satisfaction,  real  time  documentation,  and  staff  satisfaction.    Come  see  what  a  patient  experiences  as  they  begin  in  the  ambulatory  setting,  proceed  for  a  pre-­‐op  visit,  and  then  come  in  for  their  day  of  surgery.  This  presentation  will  be  a  skit  demonstration  and  overview  of  how  CMH  is  training  users  with  key  changes  to  process  and  scripting  to  engage  the  patient  during  their  healthcare  visit  while  utilizing  technology.    Kim  Maples,  RN  BSN  has  worked  at  Citizens  Memorial  Hospital  in  Bolivar,  Missouri  for  12  years.  She  has  nursing  experience  in  Med/Surg,  ICU,  and  as  a  clinical  nursing  instructor.  She  has  worked  as  a  clinical  information  specialist  for  four  years.  She  is  the  primary  support  specialist  for  PCS  and  QRM,  and  offers  secondary  support  for  ORM,  EDM,  LAB,  and  RAD  for  their  MEDITECH  C/S  5.64  PP20  platform  soon  to  be  migrating  to  5.65.          1025  -­‐  “I  Believe  in  Being  an  Innovator”  –  Walt  Disney  Presenter:    Alexa  Thompson  Organization:    Golden  Valley  Memorial  Hospital,  Clinton,  Missouri    Abstract:    Isn’t  innovation  what  having  an  EHR  is  all  about?    As  HIT  professionals  we  have  the  responsibility  and  clinical  expertise  to  improve  health  care  information  through  technology.    Aggressive  timelines  and  stringent  requirements  associated  with  Meaningful  Use  along  with  limited  budgets  require  this.    We  must  be  innovative  and  creative  in  our  approach  to  meeting  MU.  Unless  you’re  one  of  the  fortunate  organizations  with  unlimited  resources  or  you’re  advanced  in  your  EHR  journey,  you  have  most  likely  not  implemented  all  of  the  necessary  modules  to  meet  MU  “by  the  book.”        The  only  way  to  meet  Stage  1  Meaningful  Use  without  the  recommended  modules  is  to  be  innovative.    When  the  perfect  solution  isn’t  an  option,  then  an  option  or  solution  that  works  for  your  organization  must  be  achieved.    Golden  Valley  Memorial  Hospital  has  met  all  Stage  1  MU  requirements,  including  patient  education  and  discharge  instructions  without  the  RXM  module.    Attend  this  presentation  to  learn:  

• MEDITECH  options  to  meet  MU  without  all  modules  being  implemented,  i.e.  RXM,  CPOE.  • Uses  of  technology  to  remind  patients  about  outpatient  appointment  through  phone  calls  and  

texting.  • How  MU  has  influenced  the  implementation  of  modules.  It  is  our  responsibility,  as  HIT  

professionals,  to  create  an  environment  for  staff  and  physicians  to  use  the  EHR  to  benefit  in  such  a  way  that  requires  us  to  be  innovative.    Phase  II  of  MU  has  totally  changed  the  implementation  plan  for  meaning  facilities.

Page 45: 2012 Educational Presentations

Managing  beds  and  patients  in  a  busy  hospital  can  be  at  times  an  insurmountable  task.  There  are  many  obstacles  to  insuring  that  Emergency  Department  throughput  is  maintained  and  that  the  quality  of  patient  care  is  maintained  both  in  perception  and  actuality.  Now  it  is  not  only  important  that  we  treat  a  patients  illness,  but  also  that  we  keep  the  perception  of  timely  service  up  for  patients.  Patient  perception  is  shortly  to  become  a  part  of  reimbursements  through  HCAPS  scores.        This  is  no  more  evident  than  in  the  Emergency  Department  (ED)  where  roughly  55%  to  65%  of  inpatients  originate.  Throughput  is  essential  to  enable  responsiveness  of  care  in  the  ED  and  the  rest  of  the  hospital.  The  key  is  implementing  a  real  time  bed  management  system  that  provides  a  just  in  time  service  for  bed  placement,  increasing  patient  visibility  and  throughput.  This  is  accomplished  via  the  Bed  Management  application  in  MEDITECH’s  Admissions  module.    Through  the  implementation  of  the  Bed  Management  Application,  MEDITECH  facilities  are  able  to:  

• Improve  patient  care  delivery  • Increase  timely  placement  of  patients  to  appropriate  level  of  care.  • Increase  patient  throughput  and  decrease  LOS.    • Increase  visibility  of  available  beds  in  the  hospital.  • Decrease  ED  hold  hours.  • Decrease  the  occurrence  of  hiding  beds.  

 In  this  presentation,  we  intend  on  providing  a  high  level  view  from  a  division  (multi-­‐hospital  implementation)  and  a  facility  perspective.  This  will  cover  the  general  purpose  for  implementation,  benefits,  and  pitfalls  of  technical  and  process  driven  issues.      References  -­‐  Cowan,  R  M,  Trzeciak  S.  (2005)  Clinical  review:  Emergency  department  overcrowding  and  the  potential  impact  on  the  critically  ill.  Critical  Care  2005,  9:291-­‐295    Patrick  M.  Burke  RN,  BSN  has  been  a  nurse  for  six  years.  For  the  last  1.5  years,  he  has  been  managing  a  facility’s  nursing  documentation/EMAR/BCTA/Bed  Management  processes.  He  has  implemented  the  Bed  Management  system  from  scratch,  and  assisted  at  three  other  facilities.    Justine  Cavanaugh        1077  -­‐  Medication  Reconciliation  for  Clinicians  Presenter:    Tracey  Rainwater  Organization:    HCA  -­‐  The  Healthcare  Company,  Florida    Abstract:    The  Agency  for  Healthcare  Research  and  Quality  (AHRQ)  reported  that  33%  of  patients  have  had  a  moderate  harm  potential  and  6%  a  severe  harm  potential  related  to  an  unintended  medication  discrepancy  at  the  time  of  hospital  admission.  (PSN,  2012)  In  2005,  the  Joint  Commission  (TJC)  included  medication  reconciliation  as  a  National  Patient  Safety  Goal  and  in  2006  mandated  “all  accredited  organizations  were  to  implement  a  process  for  obtaining  and  documenting  a  complete  list  of  the  patient’s  current  medication  upon  admission  into  the  organization  with  the  assistance  of  the  patient  or  their  representative”  (PSN,  2012).
