Safety and Efficiency

Improved patient safety.   Patient safety is increased through the automated identification of drug interactions, allergy alerts and automated dose calculations, including lifetime dose limits. Electronic ordering of chemotherapy or other in-house treatments results in clear, legible orders, leaving little room for misinterpretations from hand-written orders and notes.     Increased efficiency.   With iKnowMed, the single screen view allows a patients’ future or past medical record to be easily seen. As well, multiple users can access and document in the electronic patient chart at the same time. iKnowMed also promotes accurate billing by capturing all patient visit charge codes, primary diagnosis codes, and billable drug waste for each visit.   Reports from iKnowMed support “Pay for performance” initiatives by providing evidence of treatment patterns and case data to justify treatment decisions. Payers can be confident that their members are getting high-quality, efficient care based on documentation reflecting treatment consistency and predictability.
