VistA Enterprise Solution
Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS)
The Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) is a comprehensive tool that allows clinicians to enter, review, and continuously update all order-related patient information in real time. It enables healthcare providers to order lab tests, medications, diets, radiology tests, and procedures while recording allergies, adverse reactions, progress notes, diagnoses, and discharge summaries.
A key advantage of CPRS is its integration with Clinical Reminders and the Text Integration package, which enhances compliance with medical guidelines and record-keeping requirements. Clinical Reminders help ensure timely preventive care, screenings, and follow-ups, reducing the risk of missed treatments. The Text Integration package supports structured documentation, improving workflow efficiency and patient data accuracy. By streamlining medical record management, CPRS enhances decision-making, supports evidence-based care, and ultimately leads to better patient outcomes.
