Care Plans are a convenient way to track chart items pertinent to a patient's characteristic or diagnosis. The Women’s Care Plan allows clinics to track orders, clinic notes, labs, immunizations, and important documents for women's health. Another useful feature of the Women’s Care Plan is ensuring that each patient in this category meets the predetermined quality measures set by Medicare, health networks, or insurance companies. This care plan is a template that can be modified to fit a particular clinic’s needs. Since all items related to a patient’s specific condition are grouped in a Care Plan, staying up-to-date on a woman’s recommended screenings and other medical care can be done in one place.

Care Plans track the status of a patient’s chronic illness over time. The Type 2 Diabetes Care Plan is a template that displays relevant chart items related to a patient with this diagnosis. Type 2 Diabetes is a condition that requires multiple clinic visits, prescriptions, labs, referrals, etc. It can be difficult and time-consuming to search the chart for these items before an appointment or when a patient asks a question. TriMed Complete understands that every clinic is different, so each clinic can personalize this standard template to make the workflow smoother for them.

Writing prescriptions is a complex task. Many factors must be considered. Calculating drug dosages can be time-consuming, especially for pediatric patients. Researching the correct dose for the indication, age, and other patient factors takes time. Searching for a calculator (a physical calculator or using an app on a phone or computer) is another additional step. The final step of correctly calculating can be complicated, especially for liquids or suspensions. TriMed Complete’s Dosage Calculator feature streamlines this for the provider, making the process quicker and easier.
