T-System, Inc., the leading provider of clinical documentation and information solutions in emergency departments and urgent care centers, announces the release of The T SystemEV 2.6, the latest version of its popular and comprehensive Emergency Department Information System. Highlights of T SystemEV 2.6 include: • New Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) Integrating documentation and order entry provides the first CPOE module designed from the beginning for effective mobile use. Providers seamlessly traverse to/from documentation, order entry, lab results, medications and care protocols electronically without leaving the bedside, thus improving clinical efficiency and enhancing patient care and safety. Order entry operates effectively as either a standalone application or integrated with the hospital information system. From the bedside, providers can easily place orders for lab, radiology, medications, consults, ancillary services and other treatments. Our comprehensive order sets include standard orders for physicians and nurses. This customizable library can be augmented or modified as regulations, standards and practices demand. Order sets are complaint-specific, focusing on the presentation of both adult and pediatric patients. Clinicians easily enter or import medication and allergy information, providing actionable alerts about possible drug to drug and drug to allergy interactions. Color coding quickly notifies users of the potential severity of the interaction. • New Automated Facility E&M Level Determination Real-time automation of APC facility levels eliminates the need for nurses and medical record personnel to assign a level, thus greatly decreasing variability and providing a consistently objective and reproducible methodology. This new feature optimizes revenue capture and allows nurses to focus appropriately on patient care. • Enhanced Tracking The new tracking dashboard facilitates waiting room and treatment room management allowing quick response to changing situations in the ED. The system displays critical patient flow metrics to identify bottlenecks, helping staff and ED managers to optimize patient throughput and decrease ED length of stay. “We are very pleased that EV 2.6 lets us further streamline patient management. It was essential for us to enhance how orders were placed and data was retrieved for both drugs and allergies so we could aim for higher standards of patient safety and care,” said John Matheson, MD, Emergency Department Medical Director of Kadlec Medical Center. T SystemEV 2.6 is implemented in seven sites following thorough beta testing and is now commercially available. “The core mission of T-System is to support our customers in their ongoing quest to provide the very best patient care possible. The 2.6 release is another tremendous step forward for the T-System family including both our customers and our organization. Our commitment to provide a high quality product that clinicians use at the bedside will not be compromised,” said Mike Hansen, T-System CEO. www.tsystem.com About T-System: Founded over a decade ago, T-System, Inc. and T-System Technologies, Ltd.
