Beaumont Hospital first in Ireland to reap the European Computerised Physician Order Entry (CPOE) benefits of ORBIS U

As part of the wider Digital for Care programme, Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, funded and supported by the HSE, has chosen Dedalus’ ORBIS electronic patient record system as its Computerised Physician Order Entry and Clinical Portal solution (CPOE), becoming the first hospital in Ireland to take Europe’s leading application.

ORBIS CPOE use cases in hospitals

• Wide scope of tests and diagnostics – ORBIS CPOE will be used to place orders for a wide range of tests, investigations and services that go beyond pathology and diagnostic imaging.
• Up-to-date patient information – Beaumont Hospital will also use ORBIS to view patients in wards and easily see what results, alerts, and outstanding actions are available for each patient.
• Streamlined workflows – This, together with ORBIS’ Patient and Activity Dashboards, will assist with Beaumont’s workflows, enriching patient care and maintaining clinical safety.
• Efficient cross-team communication – ORBIS CPOE is expected to result in gains in efficiency, process optimisation, and streamlined communication within the hospital.

Modern patient-first service

David Sweeney, Deputy Chief Executive Officer at Beaumont Hospital, said: “Deploying ORBIS CPOE is a major step forward and a key component of our digital transformation and vision for a modern patient-centred and sustainable service for the patients of Beaumont Hospital. It will make a real difference to how healthcare is delivered to patients moving forward.”

Improved safety and quality of care

Daryll Goodall, Regional Managing Director of UK and Ireland at Dedalus, said: “We are delighted to have Beaumont Hospital as the first hospital in Ireland to implement ORBIS CPOE, and to be providing a seamless, safe, and secure connected CPOE system which will improve patient care safety, quality, and efficiency.

Ensuring that diagnostic results are accessible at the point of care will enable Beaumont’s clinicians to make swift, informed decisions at every stage of the patient’s journey.”

ORBIS CPOE optimised data sharing for clinicians

Cathy McCartan, Executive Director, Ireland at Dedalus, said: “We are excited to be working with an incredible team at Beaumont Hospital. There is no doubt that their commitment, focus, and passion are key factors in this major project, which will transform the way clinicians record, view and share patient data moving forward.

This is only the beginning for Beaumont Hospital, and we are proud to be a key partner in their Digital Transformation strategy”

ORBIS CPOE certification credentials

Having a CPOE certification shows that a system meets the key capability standards required to deliver key CPOE benefits such as reduced admin errors and enhanced medication safety.  In short, it signified the effectiveness and quality of a CPOE in healthcare.
