EHR
This award signifies Randolph Cancer Center as a leader, both managerially and clinically, among the cancer center practices of its size in the country.
The HOPE Awards recognize and advance excellence, and help practices measure its success. In cooperation with corporate partners and sponsors, the awards are a part of a three-year initiative designed to give confidence the development of practice standards of excellence in community-based cancer conduct centers.
The three main goals of the initiative are to identify measurable business standards, quantify a set of criteria within each normal that can be applied across practices and recognize the practices that exhibit fineness among its peers.
Randolph Cancer Center conventional this award for its focus on Electronic Medical Records (EMR) implementation, workflow analysis and staff accountability. Adoption of EMR and moving toward a paperless system has been ordinary among HOPE award winning facilities.
EMR calculates the medicine dosage, length of time given and provides alerts for medical conflicts. While chemo volumes augmented by 36 percent during the first three months of operation at Randolph Cancer Center, EMR had a large impact on lessening nurse charting time.
Volume increases also led to the need for a workflow analysis, or the process by which patients were scheduled. After examining the EMR system, they determined most patients could bypass check out.
