POMS: Paperless Browser Based Pharmacy Order Management System

Key points that differentiate POMS from the rest:

• Typically, 33% to 50% less expensive and 500% more functionality than those other products.
  The product can be rented or purchased.
• 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
  Equipments can be shared and hence, there is no need for additional space
  POMS supports all Windows operating system including XP
  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
• POMS does not any elongate or disfigure any order images even though the order papers are less than one page size.

• 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 workqueue for all pharmacists to see -- no need to click an order to see annotations (remarks)
  Complete Integration with your Pharmacy Information System (autopopulation of demographic information; when an order requisition is opened, POMS brings up the profile ordering screen for the corresponding patient, thereby reducing errors and increasing productivity)
  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
  Provides for missing medication communication between nursing and pharmacy
• 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 ...).
  POMS is truly hardware agnostic -- you can use any scanners or fax machines -- you do not need a separate fax server
• Order requisitions received by POMS can be sent to other imaging systems such as patient folder

• Pharmacist can send messages to nursing to the medication cabinet (such as Accudose, Pyxis 2000 or Pyxis 3000 .....)

• POMS splits orders automatically -- nurses can fax/scan at the same time multiple orders for multiple patients -- POMS will split and collate them

• Scanners, fax machines or the Server need not be dedicated and can be shared across multiple applications
