EMRitus has modules that include extensive functionality to support
Nursing documentation including Patient Care Plans and Outcomes using
the NANDA, NIC, NOC and Omaha nursing standardized languages.

Nursing Care Plans
A
comprehensive set of over 150 nursing Care Plan templates is included
as well as functions to facilitate the following:
Patient Care Plans
The EMRitus system incorporates a vast vocabulary of standardized languages
to facilitate the Patient Care Planning process. An unlimited number
of Care Plan Templates can be created for retrieval to establish an
individual Patient Care Plan. The Patient Care Plan can then be personalized
as required. Languages available for Diagnoses, Procedures and Interventions,
Activities and Outcomes in Emeritus Care Plans include ICD-9, CPT®,
NANDA, NIC, NOC and Omaha System. User customizable labels can also
be added as required.

Care Delivery
The delivery of care from a Patient Care Plan is facilitated by simply
tapping with a pen on the activities in the Care Plan that were performed
or not performed during a particular Patient Encounter. In addition,
the Patient's response to certain performed activities can be documented
using the EMRitus Health Observation Language. Outcome progress can
also be quickly and easily documented either by using a scale value
from the outcome language pick-list, by recording actual Health Observations,
or both. This provides unprecedented detail to support Outcome measurement,
management and tracking.

Physical Finding Dialogs
Below is a list of 68 of the approximately 600 Health Observation Language
(HOL) dialogs, incorporating over 3,000 tabs, that are included with
the EMRitus system. The "Murmur" tab of the Cardiac Problem Exam dialog
(indicated below) is shown on the previous screen. When the detail contained
on just this one tab of one dialog is reviewed, it will give an indication
of the vast and comprehensive content and uniqueness of Ergo's Health
Observation Language. It is this language that, for the first time,
will provide the ease of implementation and use necessary to enable
the widespread adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMR's) to become
a reality.

Patient Outcome Management
“Outcome” is probably one of the most widely used and least well defined
terms in health care today. In most cases the term is used generically
and subjectively to describe the results of patient care. Unfortunately
the current measurement system is inconsistent and at much too high
a level to facilitate clear comparative measures that will result in
better patient care.
Outcomes in EMRitus are not only an underlying basis for managing the
goals and results of care delivery, they are scientifically measured.
This unique capability is made possible through the use of Ergo’s Health
Observation Language combined with a comprehensive researched and published
outcome language (NOC).
When a significant number of patient encounters are recorded using the
same clinical language vocabulary, the value of the resulting clinical
information is profound. Use of this data will facilitate unprecedented
and rapid improvement in the consistency and quality of care delivery
for an individual patient. This capability will be facilitated by the
ability to accurately and consistently measure and improve patient outcomes
in response to care rendered while at the same time reducing the cost.
EMRitus' clinical documentation provides the necessary granularity and
consistency in the recording of patient health observations required
for this process to work.
EMRitus collects and aggregates data with complete confidentiality for
all concerned. We call this the Clinical Knowledge Base. A data base
with this power can only be created using techniques similar to those
residing within Emeritus.
Ergo’s Health Observation Language provides the corroborating ‘glue’
that ties together the outcomes, diagnoses, interventions, procedures,
activities and patient response to care delivery into complete scientific
granular and comparable clinical content.
All functionality described on this Web Site for EMRitus is available
for nursing use, including the Patient Management, Clinical Documentation,
Health Observation Language, Medical Drawings and Images etc. Follow

functions that may be relevant for Nursing use.
