Browser enabled, no hardware to install, no software to load, no updates to manage

Totally hardware agnostic with respect to scanners, fax machines and bar codes.

You can use your existing scanners, fax machines AND PCs — no need to upgrade or change

Equipment can be shared and hence, there is no need for additional space

POMS supports all Windows operating system including XP and [also] works in a Citrix environment

Recognizes priority by OCR and routes to appropriate Pharmacist ensuring STAT orders are first; this functionality is in addition to nurses pressing specific “buttons” for specific priority

Receives orders from any combination of scanners or fax machines or printer emulation

Recognizes any type of barcode, fetches demographics information and populates key fields

When a pharmacist finishes processing an order, another order for the same patient is presented automatically and if no order exists, the next high priority order is presented for processing

Pharmacists can annotate orders and annotations become a part of the work queue for all pharmacists to see – no need to click an order to see annotations (remarks)

Pharmacists can tag orders with (JCAHO COMPLIANT) customizable tags, and search by tagged order type

Nurses can observe status of orders through a screensaver dashboard

Work remotely from home, etc., with security and integrity

POMS allows order entry across hospital clusters and workload sharing (can be based on date and time or number of orders in the queue or …).

We use POMS as our EDM system and have enjoyed quite a bit of success with it. The ability to annotate orders and re-route them for clarification and processing at a later time is great. Another benefit is being able to log into all or only a few order queues at a time, which allows decentralized pharmacists to manage their own units with ease.
