The health care organizations of the Erie St. Clair LHIN join a community of over 160 hospitals across Canada using PatientOrderSets.com's solutions, including more than 55% of Ontario hospitals.
Bluewater Health, Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital, Leamington District Memorial Hospital and Windsor Regional Hospital serve more than 600,000 residents in an area of 7,200 square kilometers in the Windsor, Essex, Chatham and Sarnia regions of Ontario.
Order sets are detailed, evidence-based checklists that allow doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals to easily specify the most effective treatments for hundreds of medical conditions in all areas of care.
PatientOrderSets.com provides its client hospitals with a comprehensive web-based order set technology that includes:
Using order sets to help create orders for patients, physicians have on-the-spot guidance about which tests, medications, and procedures are best for each patient. This instant access to best practices and evidence-based tools improves patient outcomes by improving the ordering of the correct treatments and tests, saving valuable time and resources, and reducing errors while enhancing communication between health care team members. The evidence for the order sets is available to physicians through Links-to-Evidence, a feature that provides hyperlinks within the order sets to clinical research and resources, national guidelines and quality measures.
PatientOrderSet.com client hospitals are part of a network of more than 160 healthcare organizations that work directly with peer hospitals, clinicians, specialty medical societies and other health-care stakeholders to share order sets and maintain evidence-based best practices.
PatientOrderSets.com is endorsed by the Ontario Hospital Association as a best practice for Ontario hospitals.
"We're delighted to have earned the trust of these four hospitals," said Dr. Chris O'Connor, President of PatientOrderSets.com, "Now with more than 160 hospitals reaching from coast-to-coast, we've hit a tipping point. Hospitals are sharing order sets and best practices across their regions, states or provinces, and now right across the continent. For millions of patients, this means better care."
