Medical Information Systems |
|
Timely retrieval of clinical information is a priority for house officers. An integrated hospital information system is available at both institutions to provide state-of-the-art information management. Capabilities available to all house officers at both institutions include computerized order entry, electronic medical records including online laboratory data and radiology images, and online resources such as drug formularies, electronic journals and medical literature searching. Integrated email and paging systems facilitate communications across both sites. Children's Hospital has recently implemented computerized order entry and is currently developing and implementing entirely electronic documentation. Boston Medical Center has been utilizing electronic ordering for some time and is also working to have a complete electronic medical record. Residents are playing an important role in the planning and implementation of these changes. Of note, remote access to both the Boston Medical Center and Children's Hospital systems is available to all residents. In addition, the newly launched BCRP website provides password-restricted access to useful information for residents such as colleague contact information, upcoming schedules and announcements, and a database of useful articles and presentations.
