Orchard Point-of-Care
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is an essential part of patient-centered care with many benefits, including a rapid turnaround time. Through Orchard Point-of-Care, those rapid results are immediately and conveniently available in the EHR, allowing providers to make faster clinical decisions, resulting in better care and promoting patient satisfaction.
Orchard Point-of-Care is an advanced POCT data management system that allows point-of-care coordinators to manage their POCT program across all patient testing locations from one central location. It provides an easy and efficient way for point-of-care coordinators to track:
- Patient testing
- Devices
- Quality control
- Operator certifications
- Analytics and reports
Tip
The Orchard Point-of-Care Dashboard provides real-time information on results, devices, certifications, and quality control, all with quick links to items needing attention.
