Life cycle of an

Order Set

Draft- Initial

• Purpose

– To prepare the Zynx template order set for Draft-Consensus stage to help focus the clinicians on the main content issues.

• Activities

– Naming of order set

– Deletion of non-formulary medications

– Copy and paste of already vetted sections

– Edit of Section Names

– Merging of content from paper based order set in current use

– Time: 30-90 minutes

Draft- Consensus

• Purpose

– To build consensus on the content of an order set by local clinicians.

• Activities

– Goal is to look at all major order set components around quality, evidence, formulary and sometimes catalog.

– The build session can be done through several different methods such as:

• Meeting room

• Web/Audio conference

• Retreats

– Time: ~ .5 to 3 hours per order set. • ** Zynx Professional Services can help lead a sample build session. (led by Zynx clinician)

Degree of Content Richness

Lean• More useable in

Paper/Intranet Order Set

• Faster Development time

Rich• More useable in

CPOE Order Set

• Greater opportunity to change behavior and supplement knowledge

Zynx RecommendationStart Lean -> Go Rich

Modular or Comprehensive

• Modular (Plug and Play)- creating order sets for distinct clinical events.

• [admit to venue] + [disease/procedure] + [comorbid]

• 3 separate order sets

• Comprehensive – Creating order sets that include admission orders with disease specific content.

• [CHF Admit to ICU]

• 1 order set

Modular or Comprehensive

Comprehensive

• Harder to manage content

• Easier to use in CPOE (one order set to order)

Hybrid

• Comprehensive order sets for common DRG’s

• Modular approach for other conditions

• Needs CPOE Merge/Nesting functionality

Modular• Customized care plan

• General Modules have less evidence specificity

• Needs CPOE Merge/Nesting functionality

Review-Initial

• Purpose

– To build clinician adoption of order sets by adopting local feedback.

• Activities

– Forward order set draft to local clinicians for feedback.

– Provide mechanism for feedback

• AuthorSpace

• ViewSpace

• Paper

• Email (.doc/.pdf)

– Make appropriate changes according to feedback in draft version

– Time: ~ 1 – 4 weeks

Review-Final

• Purpose

– To validate finished draft and prepare it for CPOE.

• Activities

– Final review of draft version (local/corporate)

– CPOE parameter review

– Inclusion/Exclusion in enterprise catalog of order sets

– Time: ~ 30 – 90 minutes

CPOE Build

• Purpose

– To build a functional order set in CPOE

• Activities

– Export Zynx order set into CPOE system and map terms

– Catalog term management

– Resolve CPOE process issues arising from content

– Communicate system parameters back to clinician builders and update style guide

– Time: Variable

Having an enterprise standard w/ process for updates

is best practice

Case Study

• Some clients adopt a balanced approach where local customization is allowed, but with limits.

• One organization has admitted that it was a mistake to allow total freedom in local customization.

– No standardization.

– Hundreds of duplicates.

– Inability to measure

– Impossible to update and maintain content

Integration into CPOE

• Main Question:

– What are the parameters that organizations should understand when building content for CPOE?

Configurable Workspaces – 1.6

• Configurable Workspace functionality

– Ability to upload client’s custom catalog to AuthorSpace with the order entry formats and codesets.

– Mirrors the order entry fields that are present in Cerner in AuthorSpace to strengthen integration.

• Data extract through CCL script

• Project Plan Completion for CW= ~ 2 weeks

Building Order Sentences in Required Formats

• Paper Example:

CBC q am starting in am for 3 days

• Cerner OEF (Order Entry Format) Example:

Orderable: CBC

Details: T+1; 0600 q am x 3 days

Need order details in the following order:

Fields: [Entry]

1. Start Date/Time: T+1; 0600

2. Frequency: q am

3. Duration: 3

4. Duration units: days

Configured Workspace – CERNER OEF Example: “T+1; 0600 q am x 3 days”

Coming in 2007

• AuthorSpace 1.6 (Released this summer)

– Redesign w/ enhancements

• Management tools around content development and maintenance

• Paper order set functionality
