Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, announces that several new improvements have been added to Sentri7, a web-based, enterprise-wide electronic surveillance application that helps hospital staff identify at-risk patients.
Pharmacy teams now have the option of a patient-by-patient workflow for use on rounds, and flow sheets to track medications and lab results over multiple days. Pharmacy users can also write rules against previous interventions and follow-up dates.
"These new workflow improvements in Sentri7 will make our anticoagulation monitoring process completely paperless," says Gerry Migaki, pharmacy clinical coordinator at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center. "This will be a big help to us, as we want to remove paper from the process as much as possible."
The infection prevention module now has an auto-populating antibiogram and NHSN uploading capabilities for BSIs, SSIs, Procedures and ICU summary data. Procedure forms can be pre-populated with clinical data from OR feeds. New reports include MDROs, device-associated infections and SSIs by location; NHSN benchmark reports; and a standardized infection ratio (SIR) report for CLABSIs.
