Watch: UPMC on digital transformation with ePrescribing
Even across health systems with robust EMR investment, ordering home medical equipment for patients continues to be a paper-based process, leading to delayed discharges, documentation burden for clinicians, and sub-optimal outcomes for patients. Adoption of DME ePrescribing empowers providers with simple workflows, transparency into health plan requirements, and reliable delivery. But how should you begin this digital transformation at your health system?
UPMC leaders joined Parachute Health's Catie Moser to discuss why UPC decided to optimize their ordering process for DME and supplies for both inpatient and outpatient orders on the Parachute Platform. Watch the recording below.
A pile of paper comes at you to come sign and re-sign... so to be able to get the patient what they need in a timely matter is absolutely a breath of fresh air compared to the current process. Amanda Lenhard MD, VP Clinical Care Coordination and Hospital Medicine, UPMC
Time is precious, and the information in Parachute truly prevents the rework, errors, and delays in care for our patients. Sue Thompson, Sr Director Case Management, UPMC
That's where we find great value in Parachute, because now you're not leaving the EMR environment, all our providers are familiar with the workflows and they know what to do. And they can follow the order, which our providers have never had insight into. This brings another level of transparency. Deepan Kamaraj, Director Analytics and Informatics, UPMC
On the EHR integration: there was a lot of attention to detail and the workflows that were built used information that was already in our EMR system... now I push that one button and it starts that process, and it is very automated Sue Thompson, Sr Director Case Management, UPMC
