Orders drive everything within a healthcare facility. Tests, sample collection, vital signs, IVs, treatment plans, and more all happen as a result of an order being given and a clinician workflow being generated. Oacis CPOE (computerized physician order entry) automatically generates flexible, easy-to-use worklists for each member of the healthcare team that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each provider.

CPOE is a powerful tool for improving patient safety by providing clinicians with alerts prior to the activation of an order. These alerts advise clinicians with our decision support about potential duplicate orders, drug interactions and treatment conflicts. It recommends additional site-approved “complimentary” orders, known in Oacis as “companion orders.” These features reduce errors and support delivery of high quality, cost-effective care.

Electronic ordering generates multiple, immediate, concurrent requests for diagnostic ancillary services. This enables more rapid specimen collection and more timely completion of lab tests, imaging procedures and drug interventions, which accelerate patient diagnosis, initiation of targeted treatment plans, and can decrease length of stay.
