Results Review Quick Tips in CROWN

CROWN (Allscripts EEHR) has been live for 2 years. We now have all results and reports that WebCIS (our legacy EMR) has provided us (except PFTs). In some ways, we have more, since many reports generated outside that were historically on paper, are now scanned into CROWN .

Users may not know that CROWN provides:
1) a "Results History" per item (e.g. past CBC's on a longitudinal flowsheet-style table)
2) FlowSheets that can be customized to include only the relevant items you need
3) Graphing capability for trends (e.g. Creatinine over time) from FlowSheets
4) Sparklines for a quick peak at trends over time from the Health Management Profile
5) Most importantly, the ability to filter the ChartViewer down to only those items of interest using a variety of filtering criteria (string matching, by provider, by encounter, etc).

These are more advanced features of CROWN, but will make your life easier if you take a few minutes to learn about them.

See this video that demonstrates these capabilities.

Verifying Results Made Easy

Want a quick way to work your lab, radiology and pathology results? Falling behind on your "verification tasks"? Are your patients asking for result letters in a more timely fashion? Check out Dr. Crimmins' two videos posted here.

In the first video, we review a fast way to annotate and verify results and clear them from your task list. This is called QVerify in Allscripts-speak.

In the second video, we review a means of verifying, annotating, generating a result letter and instructions to your front desk on sending the letter to the patient, all in one easy-to-use dashboard. This is called Verify... in Allscripts-speak.
