Enhanced View is Coming!

Come one, Come all. The new and improved CIS Enhanced View will arrive in a big bang rollout across Baystate Health on Tuesday morning March 24. Three hospitals, three community health centers and over 50 BMP ambulatory care practices will be introduced to this new interface and find the look and feel of the web and new tools that will serve clinicians and patients alike.

The Enhanced View not only provides advances in efficiency and function, but also serves up what its moniker promises. This new design unifies CIS Office and Hospital into a single interface making chart navigation more fluid and intuitive. A single point of entry allows for easy retrieval of results, schedules and patient lists. And, with design and development close at hand, computerized provider order entry (CPOE) will soon be available for the ambulatory setting.

Another exciting feature is the Message Center. This replaces the Inbox and is much cleaner and better designed for communication between users, be they physicians, nurses or support staff. Proxies and Pools will facilitate new, more efficient workflows for all clinical sites. One of my favorite features is the new Reminders tool. Here, we'll be able to create patient-specific reminders that will pop up when you need them where you need them. Reminders do everything that Sticky Notes couldn't.

Most important, though, is for folks to get trained and ready for this new view. While we are very excited to introduce the Enhanced View, it will take some work and investment of time to get accustomed to the change.
