As electronic medical records have evolved, so have physician documentation methods. Based on our observations in recent years, we have noticed that as organizations migrated away from paper templates, many only developed two or three generic electronic documentation templates for physicians to use (Adult Template, Pediatric Template, Trauma Template).
Although most of The Sullivan Group’s RSQ® Solutions platform is delivered online via CME/CE courses and clinical performance assessments, there is another major component to the RSQ® Cycle, which involves building clinical risk mitigation strategies directly into the EMR. In 2010, one of our largest clients requested that we develop a library of physician documentation templates for their enterprise EHR system, which happened to be MEDITECH. After several years of development with their medical leadership team, we deployed 137 chief complaint-specific templates with clinical decision support to all 163 emergency departments. Below we have included 2 videos from our President & CEO, Dan Sullivan, MD, JD, FACEP, that outline a few different workflows that can be used by providers to complete their documentation with our PDoc Templates.
With HITECH in full swing and hospitals and health systems across the nation implementing electronic medical record systems, some for the first time, many are finding that the MEDITECH solution, while fantastic for billing, coding and reporting, perhaps leaves a little to be desired where the end-users in the ED are concerned. Many ED providers accustomed to structured paper chart templates found themselves essentially unsupported on the EMR front. Answering the call for , we developed RSQ® Modules for EMRs solution.
