OrderImage Overview Print E-mail

HCS OrderImage is an advanced Patient Safety Solution for the electronic management of paper and physician orders and other documents, and includes integrated tool for clinical intervention documentation and reporting at no additional charge. HCS OrderImage improves communication between pharmacy and nursing by providing a way for nursing and pharmacy to view and send messages to each other, in addition to improving pharmacy's workflow so that pharmacists can focus on high priority orders first, followed by routine orders.

HCS OrderImage employs document imaging technology that leverages existing input devices such as scanners, fax machines, or multi-function devices. Documents are translated into electronic format and transmitted from decentralized locations to the pharmacy queue, allowing pharmacists to view orders from any location. 

In multi-facility environments, HCS OrderImage promotes workload sharing by offering a single view work queue that can show all orders for all facilities, and still prioritize the orders appropriately, without requiring users to sign on multiple times!  

HCS OrderImage enables remote order verification, which allows pharmacies that are not open 24 hours to save time and money.  Pharmacists can view, enter, and communicate with nursing from anywhere in the hospital or via a secure internet connection at home. 

Key Features include:

  • Capture faxed or scanned written orders in an electronic format
  • Organize images by priority, location, or document type
  • Store orders electronically
  • Manipulate images
  • Allows annotation, stamping, and   highlighting of the image
  • Barcode recognition
  • Clinical intervention documentation
  • Unique pharmacy nursing communication with notes, messages, and annotations
