Use TempDev's NextGen Order Management BI Dashboard to Drive Clinical Insights

Your physicians and employees juggle many tasks aside from direct patient care in the course of running your practice. Of these tasks and other responsibilities, orders and associated paperwork consume a significant portion of your attention, such as labs, diagnostics, immunizations, referrals, and so much more. Digitalization of ordering systems has been paramount in the past few years. However, there is still room for improvement, especially when the goal is to enhance the quality of patient care and optimize operational processes. Why not take advantage of our new NextGen Order Management BI Dashboard to drive clinical and operational insights?

Leverage the benefits of a centralized dashboard — one that provides enhanced insights so that you can make data-driven decisions at a glance. This critical component of your NextGen electronic health record (EHR) system can help you standardize your approach to order management while setting up your practice for future clinical workflow success.

Intrigued by our order management business intelligence suite? Here is how TempDev's latest product can help you supercharge your approach to open and ongoing orders to improve efficiency and patient care.

Healthcare Business Analytics Matter

Every physician knows that the heart of their practice is their patients. However, in addition to providing optimal, quality care, physician organizations must also optimize the business end of their practice — and data plays a significant role.

Every day, you create immense amounts of patient data. That data can either overwhelm you, or you can use it to your advantage. The key is the systems and tools you implement to gain rapid, actionable insights. The goal is to improve clinical and organizational performance by reducing the burden of certain tasks, including closing the order loop and ensuring your patients performed their outstanding orders.

The advantages are obvious. However, implementation is still a hurdle for many practices, and some wonder if it's within their budgets. 

Implementing data analysis tools, such as those for order management, helps healthcare organizations fuel improved patient experiences and increase safety improvements while ensuring better quality of care and overall operational efficiency. Yet, despite these advantages, many healthcare organizations lack the data analytics tools and systems needed to see these benefits.

Data shows that while most healthcare organizations focus on data-driven approaches and business analytics, just 16% consider themselves leaders in this space. These respondents typically have well-implemented electronic health records (EHR) systems with built-in business intelligence solutions. Many also leverage the capabilities of artificial intelligence and machine learning to take their data insights to the next level. 

To stay ahead of the curve, it's essential to rely on products and systems that simplify implementation and management, like our new NextGen Order Management Power BI Dashboard.

Why Invest in NextGen Order Management?

Prioritizing order management and BI solutions can help you deliver safer, more secure, and more efficient patient care — all while cutting costs. 

As you automate and optimize your order management system and gain access to real-time insights, you will benefit from faster, more informed decision-making capabilities, which will benefit your patients with improved care quality. Big data and predictive analytics will play a role here, contributing to optimal analytics processes. 

When you can link an order to your EHR software, that data is integrated into the patient's record. The result is better care coordination, reduced treatment delays, and better treatment decisions, which improves overall patient outcomes and helps you grow a more successful practice.

A Closer Look at the NextGen Order Management BI Dashboard

Physicians create multiple patient orders throughout the day, but ensuring they're followed up on is an arduous task. If standardized and automated systems are implemented, you instantly reduce the risk of errors. By combining TempDev's Order Management NextGen EHR Template with our business intelligence suite, practices can comprehensively follow up on outstanding orders.

Research shows that medical errors are an ongoing concern, as this public health issue remains the third leading cause of death in the United States. While many variables exist, electronic real-time data and computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems can significantly lower the risk of unintended errors. Especially since the vast majority (80%) of errors are linked to ineffective "systems" — like lapses in patient follow-up, misfiling lab work or consultations, and miscommunication issues among physicians, facilities, and patients.

While there are no certainties in healthcare, you control the level of care you provide. You also maintain the systems you put in place to ensure optimal care while achieving a healthy bottom line. With the NextGen Order Management BI Dashboard, you immediately gain insight into orders that allows you to make more informed, accurate business decisions that benefit everyone.

Here are some of the dashboard's core features for business users to be aware of:

• Clinical and operational metrics for all order types, including labs, diagnostics, immunizations, referrals, office services, and procedures.

• Unique pages for each order type, displaying relevant metrics and detailed data grids that provide high-level and low-level detail at a glance.

Pages and detailed metrics you'll find in the NextGen Order Management BI Dashboard offer several advantages and benefits. For example, the dashboard's Overview page highlights and breaks down all your orders, while a dedicated provider page allows users to drill down further into provider-specific order metrics.

You'll also find on each page:

• Cards across the top that display key business performance indicators/metrics related to the order type or page selected.

• A series of slicers (filters) where you can further define specific parameters such as practice, provider, location, order status, and date. These slicers/filters are synced across all pages, so you can navigate based on the selected practice, provider, location, or other parameter.

An additional slicer is available for diagnostic categories. To use this filter:

• Select one or more predefined chronic conditions, including depression, CHF, CKD, COPD, DM, and HTN. The filtered content can then be reviewed for specific patient populations to help boost efficiency and patient value.

Enjoy an immersive, totally interactive experience and easy-to-navigate user interface:

• Selecting a value on a visual updates all other visuals based on that selection. For example:

  • Orders by Status > "Open" updates all visuals to show open orders

  • Orders by Type > "Labs" updates all visuals to show lab-specific values

• From the Appendix page, you can easily review data definitions and many other details related to your dashboard.

Do you prefer the benefits of customization? You can customize each page for specific metrics upon request.

Better Together: TempDev's NextGen Order Management Template

While TempDev's Order Management Business Intelligence Suite allows you to understand the volume, throughput, and outstanding orders from a high level, our NextGen EHR Order Management Practice Template allows your staff to quickly follow up on all outstanding orders without going into each individual patient's chart. Combining these two packages enables a practice to comprehensively view and manage their patients' incomplete orders.

Use Data Visualization to Optimize and Inform

While the benefits of order management systems and healthcare dashboards play a crucial role, many practices and healthcare organizations are not reaching their full potential. It's time to discover new opportunities for your practice and patients, leveraging business intelligence.
