Meaningful Use of CROWN

Meaningful Use has 25 measures to meet.

But, we've configured CROWN and support staff functions in CROWN to offload the providers as much as possible.

MU How-To Videos:
In these brief videos, we step through the subset of measures on which providers should focus. It's not hard to do! Dr. Crimmins & Dr. Stetson explain it and makes it "meaningful": 

1. Provider How-To Video
2. Clinical Quality Measures Video

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.
