Access Universal Document Portal - Interface Output from Clinical Devices Directly Into the EHR
Your physicians want to be able to conveniently view EKG strips and printed output from glucometers, fetal monitors and other clinical monitoring devices. For facilities still relying on paper output, this presents a logistical problem – as EKG strips and other printed materials can be several feet long and are difficult to manipulate, store and transport.
Those facilities using a document management system also face challenges. The typical process involves cutting output strips into sections, sticking them to sheets of paper and scanning them into the document management application. In addition to preparation and scanning time, this process also involves tedious and error-prone manual indexing.
We have a better way.
Access’s clinical device output management solution, powered by Access Universal Document Portal (UDP), captures print feeds and indexes them directly into ECM/EDM system, where they are automatically interface into the correct electronic health records (EHRs).
With this unique solution, your facility can:
- Give clinicians instant access to EKG and fetal strips and other clinical device output
- Improve patient safety by ensuring device output images are attached to the correct patient records
- Boost staff productivity by eliminating tedious manual tasks
- Sidestep paper output-related delays and indexing errors
- Eliminate the financial and environmental costs of processing paper output
- Get more from your document management system and EMR
“Before we had Access UDP there was the possibility of personnel selecting the wrong patient in MEDITECH before they scanned the EKG report, and this wouldn’t have been noticed until later. Now we know each report is going to the right place in a timely manner, and the image will be of good diagnostic quality.”
