POMA - Physician Order Management Application

POMA is our enterprise application, designed for electronic management of physician standing orders.  Standing orders specify medications and treatment instructions to be administered by nurses in accordance with the physician; in other words, they utilize the physician’s skills quickly and efficiently.  They also alleviate reliance on staff’s memory and help set the standard for top notch delivery of healthcare.

Systematic reviews of healthcare services have recommended computerized standing order programs because they are a more effective organizational tool that further improves quality of patient care.  Effective healthcare is consistent with guidelines that are established for the delegation of healthcare tasks to qualified non-physicians.  This results in greater health and welfare of their patients.

POMA provides quick and easy access to physician standing orders with a user-friendly interface, and stores them in a secure repository to ensure they are only accessed by authorized personnel.  Read on to find out more about this powerful application – brought to you by HealthDox, your partner in your pursuit of quality patient care.
