Order Logistics

Managing the challenges of coordinating diagnostic and therapeutic orders to dramatically improve patient flow...

"Care Logistics can help us change from an organization that's vertically oriented and excels in departmental performance, to one that has horizontal processes which will significantly improve performance across the board and ultimately improve the patient experience."

Hospital President and CEO

Care Logistics' Order Logistics module enables all users in the enterprise visibility into the status of all patient orders and clinical milestones simultaneously.  The solution also facilitates predictable and timely patient flow to and from the necessary service areas.  A Dynamic Patient Itinerary enables patient care providers and other authorized people (including family members) to know, at any point in time, what has been planned for the patient.  By providing alerts, notifications and prioritized order queues Order Logistics enables all patients to flow at optimal rates and significantly improves operating margins.

Diagnostic & Therapeutic Staff are provided a display of patient orders, prioritized by the way each service area operates. As orders are updated automatically throughout the day, the work queue will continue to bring forward the higher priority orders.  Via a single application, patient transport can be coordinated according to the scheduled activity for each service area.  Real time access to updated provider information provides the service area technologists the ability to optimize the use of their resources and predictably fulfill patient orders.

Care Providers can review a patient's itinerary, quickly assess patient care requirements, and can notify service areas of any conflicts.  This visibility greatly reduces phone calls and time wasted due to lack of information or miscommunication.

Physicians can be informed as soon as results for patient orders are available.  The moment order results are available Order Logistics broadcasts this to the enterprise.  When working in conjunction with Rounding Logistics, Physicians are also immediately aware of the location of their patients and can use the wealth of information to optimize their rounding and patient care time. Patient Flow
