Annual cost turnover of nurses could cost at least 1.7M 37.2% of physicians modified their CPOE thanks to Multum: Meds Adverse Events Each MAE cost arounds 3000 euros Triage time improved to 9.2 min.

AND MORE Availability to schedule from any part of the Department (not only the hospital) The patient can make an appointment from any location, avoiding travel time Centralized request system High specialization is not required for scheduling appointments Simplifies the management of human resources: Higher efficiency due to higher versatility Allows providers to schedule appointments Allows establishing complex scheduling processes, making several people responsible Multi-phase PowerPlans In multi-appointments various people can schedule appointments (by area) without requiring a specialization in this type of complex appointments: Agenda Structuring Spaces according to priority Schedule care structures, not people (i.e.: spine disease agenda, not Dr. C) Saves time and travelling for users Versatility and flexibility when assigning personnel Improved demand management: Prioritization according to clinical criteria Simplifies the referral request by Primary Care Does not require 24-hour hospitalization admission Admission for emergency surgery by the surgeon himself. Simplifies complex appointment scheduling Medical transport management Third-party referral management Fast detection and reaction in the event of problems Reduced OR cancellations Clinical information related to the appointment Feedback in real time allows to react quickly in the event of incidents

Conclusions (our experience) Cerner Millennium s implementation project (2007-2009) We are using the same MILLENNIUM version since 2009 When we opened the hospital in 2009 many users, especially physicians, had a bad opinion about the design of the system, they weren t confident in the tool The Clinical Transformation Office (2010) When users get involved in driving the system with the Clinical Transformation Office they checked that the tool should be used to help them to do their job better applying a crossover vision to workflows When this inflection point was achieved, this implied from the organization perspective that some processes were improved HIMSS Level 7 (2011-2012) This was not a direct target for our company, but it was achieved as a consequence of this change in our ways of working Process improvement and ROI (2012 and so on) Currently is the basis for the CTO s internal philosophy and prioritization We can work this way because we can measure We can measure because we have the tools and the criteria to do that from the patient perspective, from the professional perspective and from the company perspective Same company, same tool, same people, different organization, different culture,, different results
Conclusions (our experience) Marina Salud chose the Cerner Millennium solutions because of their ability to provide clinicians with the information needed to improve patient care on all care venues in the healthcare network: at the hospital, at the health centres and at home. This innovative approach to healthcare services overcomes traditional limitations such as data duplicity and information inconsistencies; as well as to serve as a healthcare model to all of Spain.
