During any given day, numerous activities are happening within a healthcare organization on a minute-by-minute, and hour-by-hour basis. Central to most healthcare organization is the rapid transfer of data. For most providers, immediate access to certain types of data is vital to making time-sensitive decisions.
Corepoint Action Points delivers data-driven, event-based alerts quickly to the individuals who need to know. Corepoint Action Points watches for specified data events and sends an alert message immediately when it happens.
Alerting on data elements can be challenging, given the multiple applications and data sources where information is flowing. With Corepoint Action Points in the middle of the data flow, it finds the data to trigger the alert. Examples include:
Incoming STAT order from an ordering physician
Specified disease code from a diagnosis
Completed lab test result for a patient in the ER
Specific response from a data query in the data flow (e.g., multiple patient names returned on a request)
Timely decisions are critical – Corepoint Action Points delivers the information as it occurs.
Features
Real Time Event Notifications
Corepoint Action Points is easily applied to any given data element flowing electronically through the operational workflows within a healthcare environment. It is configured to alert one or more individuals based on the defined alert notification rules.
Built in Data Triggers
Active data flows are constant in a healthcare environment. Knowing what data is important at any point in time can be challenging. Corepoint Action Points monitors the data flow and triggers the right alert at the right time.
Customizing the data triggers can be done with simple to complex rules. For example, data triggers can be set simply for a specific code or type of order, or it can be used with more complex triggers, using “if, then” rules or alert based on message processing success.
Processing rules are configured in a menu-driven manner so that analyst-level skills can be leveraged and utilized to implement the event and data logic.
Corepoint Action Points puts the logic in place to identify the data elements, trigger immediate alerts, and enable direct action by the right people.
Flexible, Configurable Alerts
It is often said that “timing is everything.” This holds very true in healthcare.
The thresholds to receive your event alerts may vary by time of day, day of the week, holidays, etc. At certain times, the alert threshold may be more stringent than other times. Corepoint Action Points enables you to match your alert requirements in the most flexible manner possible.
Alerts can be targeted to specific individuals or a defined group. Alert settings can be configured flexibly, differing by day of the week, type of day, holidays, etc.
Getting the right data at the right time assists in getting important decisions made, and expedites moving to the next step in the workflow.
Value
The delivered value of Corepoint Action Points is time – getting the information you need to make timely decisions, take immediate steps, or respond with a different direction.
Key value includes:
Point in time decisions with point in time information – acting with real-time information
Expedited turnaround times – get results, move forward – resulting in more timely patient care
Flexibility to incorporate custom data triggers and event alerts to meet your specific operational workflow requirements.
Focus on response, not reaction. There is a difference between response and reaction. Responding translates into making decisions as soon as information is available while reacting happens significantly after the fact. Timeliness is delivered into decision-making processes using Corepoint Action Points.
Leverage the data flow between multiple applications in supporting management and physicians in their daily activities.
Knowing about events important to you enables more timely decisions that directly impacts workflow and, ultimately, patient care.
