Physician Orders
The Momentum Physician Orders module is a powerful and integrated component of Care Management. The system automates the entire physician order workflow from order entry to communications with the Lab and Pharmacy teams. Physician Orders is an integrated application, which means information flows seamlessly to the Electronic Charting module. The system also automatically produces MAR and TAR which can be used for electronic documentation as your staff performs medication pass and treatments.
