A changing of the guard
Using software named DocPlus, Pamela Johnson, MSN, MBA, CNS, an infusion nurse for SharpHealthcare/Sharp Grossmont Hospital Homecare and Hospice in San Diego, was able to create and customize interventions.
But if you would like to use DocPlus software from HBO & Company, a software developer and manufacturer in Springfield, MO, you’d best stop your search now.
"We plan on phasing out DocPlus over the next several years," an HBO & Company spokesperson told Home Infusion Therapy Management.
The good news is that the software will be replaced by a new product called Pathways Homecare. With DocPlus, Johnson was forced to start from scratch. But Pathways Homecare includes applications and system functions that support home care services ranging from pharmacy and hospice to home infusion and home medical equipment.
The program also provides an "intake fastpad" to speed processing, a personnel scheduling module, and a point of care module that allows clinicians to carry an electronic copy of the complete current and historical customer chart into the home. Updated information is sent back to the common database at the end of the day.
