Children's Hospital Among Latest to Embrace CTRM
The total number of hospitals in the United States that are using Vocada's
critical test result management (CTRM) solution has now hit 125, thanks to a
recent contract with
Children's
Hospital of Philadelphia.
CTRM is a technology-based pathway to automate and manage the closed-loop
communication of critical and urgent patient findings. Veriphy™, Vocada's
solution, helps to reduce inefficiencies and errors by replacing existing manual
systems.
When a reporting clinician creates a critical result message using a phone or
PACS, Veriphy™ will then notify the ordering clinician that a result is pending.
The system will continue to send alerts until the message is retrieved,
verifying to the reporting clinician that the message was received. Each message
is monitored, documented, and stored by the software.
