MultiCare Connect

MultiCare Connect Part 2 launched Tuesday, Oct. 14 at 4:10 a.m. with the addition of Computerized Provider Order Entry and online documentation.

Employees and physicians throughout Tacoma General, Allenmore and Mary Bridge Hospitals began to enter orders and document workflows as part of MultiCare Health System’s electronic health record (EHR) system, MultiCare Connect. This historic milestone marks the final stage of implementation for the EHR and the completion of a project that began 10 years ago in MultiCare’s clinics. Part 1 of the inpatient project went live in June 2007.

Peter Lee, MD, placed the first order in the new system at 4:23 a.m. on Tuesday. By noon that day, our nurses had documented over 67,000 flow sheet cells. Our physicians had placed over 490 orders and over 130 order sets had been used.

“It’s going wonderfully and I am so proud of the staff, “ said Roy Knott, RN, Assistant Nurse Manager, Mary Bridge Emergency Department. “It’s fantastic to see the sharing of information among staff and their willingness to help each other. I witnessed nurses teaching and learning from each other the new applications in MultiCare Connect.

“MultiCare’s tremendous support and communication have been key to today’s success. I am so encouraged by the success of the first day that I can only imagine how the quality of patient care will benefit as a result.”
