In this podcast episode, Kunal Wagh discusses the Safety and Compliance Dashboard feature of eClinicalWorks® that helps practices monitor potential patient safety issues and ensure compliance. The dashboard provides access to over 180 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), including unlocked encounters, percentage of uncoded allergies, and inaccessible tasks, which can be added to a “watch list” for easy monitoring. By using the dashboard, practices can identify potential issues and take corrective action to ensure patient safety. The dashboard is available to all eClinicalWorks customers by default. It can be accessed by admins and co-admins with the option to grant access to other team members through security settings.
“There are two main things that should motivate practices to use this dashboard. First, it helps the practice to avoid any potential patient safety issues. Secondly, if there are any Inactions performed in the practice, let’s say there are some unlocked encounters where the providers have forgotten to lock those, then this could lead to noncompliance.”
