The Order Set Explorer analytics accelerator provides a data-driven, analytic solution for understanding and optimizing order set utilization. Built on EMR data, the accelerator delivers clear, actionable insights into how standardized order sets and ad-hoc orders are being used across an organization. Through intuitive visualizations and filters, users can monitor utilization trends, link order set use to key performance and outcome metrics, and identify opportunities to streamline and standardize care. This approach helps clinical and operational teams prioritize maintenance, reduce variation, and improve patient outcomes through more effective order set management.

The Challenge

Health systems that have acquired ambulatory care practices—and independent ambulatory practices alike—face tremendous financial pressures and challenges to financial sustainability. If you’re an ambulatory care leader, you’re looking to improve the efficiency of the services you provide and find cost savings without negatively impacting patient outcomes, the community, or the integrity of the organization. Yet it can be difficult to access data that brings actionable insights to inform decisions to improve patient access, panel management, provider productivity, referral management, or quality scores.

Benefits

  • Understand variation in practice. Visualize how order sets are used across departments and correlate utilization patterns with patient outcomes.
  • Link order set use to outcomes. Measure the impact of order set adoption on key metrics such as length of stay, readmissions, mortality, and cost.
  • Streamline content maintenance. Identify order sets that are outdated, infrequently used, or due for review to support efficient content governance.
  • Compare performance across populations. Evaluate differences between groups, locations, or providers to uncover best practices and improvement opportunities.
  • Gain insight into ad-hoc orders. Analyze where ad-hoc ordering occurs to reduce variation and promote standardization.
  • Empower data-driven decisions. Access interactive dashboards and easy-to-use visualizations that turn EMR data into actionable insights for clinical and operational teams.
