“Receiving this award validates our emphasis on using and developing information technology solutions to maximize patient care.”

"Our medication reconciliation on admission hovered around seven to 10 percent within 24 hours in 2013."

"The patients love not giving their registration information 15 times over."

"This [bar code medication administration] ensures inappropriate treatments do not reach a patient. I’ve also seen instances in which utilizing bedside scanning of all medications, RNs are able to provide proof of medication administration, exact times and a chain of custody of labs when questions arise."

"Cerner and Truman working together is putting this great technology at the bedside with the nurse and provider while transforming health care. Before Connect, we were using five different devices, and now it’s our best bet."

"I’ve been amazed to see our most technologically challenged nurses embrace the phones. It’s a win all around."

"Every minute you save reducing redundant questions in the admissions process gives time back to all our clinicians to directly care for their patients."

"Through our work with Cerner every day and through optimization efforts that really focus on patient care, we do see that our patients get better. Having a fully functioning EHR and clear, robust and accurate data, we’ve got the ability to really understand how we deliver care and give the best care to our patients."

"Using the predictive intelligence of Cerner Clairvia, we’re able to see information from our admissions, discharges and transfers to drive our staffing decisions. It makes staffing information transparent so we’re able to address any concerns in near real-time."

"I am extremely pleased with how PowerChart ECG improved the operations of the cardiology department. It helped eliminate value-less processes, accelerated ECG processing and improved visibility of ECG clinical data across our organization."

"I think in the future what we’re going to see is people beginning to adopt new workflows and new tools, because there’s value to providers. It provides value to their patients, staff, or to them. As soon as you can do that, I think everybody’s going to be a lot happier in their work, and that’s why I go to work every day."

"Now the same staff is checking all records for discharge summaries whether dictated or created via Cerner. They’re performing quality checks and follow up functions."

"I can quickly assess why the patient came, what happened to them during the hospitalization, what they were diagnosed with, and then the discharge medications and the plan of action upon discharge."

"The fact that we made it easy for folks to see the list of high-risk patients early in the morning is really important to planning the day. If you know someone is a high-risk patient, we’re more likely to be encouraging to the patient that perhaps a skilled facility for the short-term may be the best discharge plan until they get stronger."

"The use of information technology is a critical strategy in enhancing our care delivery and improving outcomes for our patients and providers. The HIMSS Enterprise Davies Award demonstrates how Lafayette General Health is using the best of technology and collaborative teamwork to deliver better care and health to our patients and organization each and every day."
