Patient Care System
MEDITECH’s Patient Care System (PCS) is an electronic documentation system offering care providers interdisciplinary Plans of Care required for a patient-focused care delivery system. Automated Plan of Care worklists allow care providers to document care
using a Windows® 95 or Windows NT® point-of-care-device. PCS display panels provide the ability to observe up-to-date patient information.
Dynamic electronic links to MEDITECH's Enterprise Medical Record (EMR) offer care providers another resource for their clinical decisions and support critical data review during the assessments and outcomes documentation process.
PCS establishes and generates the clinical tools needed to manage the delivery of patient care. PCS enables a care provider to:
- Create a patient assignment and identification lists. A care provider assignment list displays a particular care provider's patients
- Initiate a Patient Standard of Care for delivery of protocol or location specific patient care
- Generate a suggestion list of problems from assessments. This list can be included on a patient's Plan of Care
- Establish a Plan of Care for an individual patient. This can be a Care Plan or a Critical Path for the generation of worklists and assessments.
- Access a Medication Administration Record (MAR). The on-line MAR allows clinicians to effectively document and manage a patient's current medications, including:
- recording medication administration or non-administration reasons along with the actual dosage given
- reviewing/adjusting medication schedules
- reviewing and acknowledging medication orders
- utilizing clinical decision support tools, such as clinical indicators, drug monographs, Allergy Management and associated data.
