About
As part of the implementation process, TeleTracking can define and design the optimal processes and potential integration points with your Cerner system. These integration points are designed to reduce or eliminate dual entry, streamline your operations, eliminate multiple phone calls and improve patient flow throughout your facility by providing real-time information to those who need it most.
Here is a sampling of some of the most common integration points that contribute to positive outcomes. Additional integrations are available.
Integration Points
Integration Point | Cerner Module | Direction | Description |
Bed Request (order) | FirstNet | C → T | Capture clinical attributes such as expected LOS, provider details / admitting physician, room needs, bed type, order comments, level of care, target unit |
Ready To Move (order) | FirstNet | C → T | Indicate that the patient is clinically ready to depart ED for inpatient unit |
Bed Assignment | FirstNet | T → C | Update tracking board with assigned bed and bed status (requires use of Bed Request Order) |
