This software application integrates with the facility s electronic health records Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture/Computer Computerized Patient Record System (VistA/CPRS) system and can pull information in real time helping the facility achieve, track, and monitor their compliance with the administrative and clinical business rules. Case management is a complicated task that has significant impact on care delivery to our Veterans. Ensuring Veterans are scheduled, and care is coordinated for consults enter into the Atlanta VA Health Care System (AVAHCS) clinical and community care services is a monumental task. PCM provides many benefits to improve case management and help to streamline care for our Veterans. PCM delivers actionable patient information and medical knowledge into the workflow of clinicians at the point of care. This enables care givers to intervene faster, reduce length of stay, and efficiently provide better and safer care. Better decisions alter the healthcare experience and outcome for each patient, while reducing costs. The most important features that AVAHCS will receive with PCM is patient safety and quality of care. Both of these two features are achieved through clinicians receiving the right information at the right time about the right patient, so that they can make better and more-timely decisions. Use of PCM will not only improve patient s outcomes but will also improve the experience for the patients and their families. PCM will provide more meaningful, timely and considered documentation to improve communication between providers. Along with PCM, VA requires the Consult Tracking Manager Plus (CTM+) software.
