A comprehensive, hospital-based computerized physician order entry (CPOE) with real time interaction checking against patients know medications and allergies

In 2005, Botsford General Hospital chose CDR-Web as their Clinical Data Repository / Clinician Portal, providing comprehensive, real-time results reporting in a visually appealing, integrated clinical record. Botsford clinicians being equipped with this configurable, secure, Web-based portal increased clinician and patient satisfaction by improving the quality and timeliness of care, and reduced the length of patient stays in the hospital.

in 2007, CDR-Docs, a commercial grade web-based document scanning feature, was added, allowing for paper-based reports, charts, and other supporting documentation to be directly added to the patient record, and visible as a PDF to the clinician user.

“The physicians and nurses provided excellent feedback regarding the application” said Dr. Paul LaCasse, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Botsford General Hospital and executive sponsor of the clinical portal application project.

CDR-Web was used by Botsford Hospital as their primary medical record for 12 years.

In 2005, Bay Medical Hospital, joined Botsford Hospital in choosing CDR-Web as their Clinical Data Repository / Clinician Portal.

A commercial grade web-based document scanning was added, allowing for paper-based reports, charts, and other supporting documentation to be directly added to the patient record, and visible as a PDF to the clinician user.

In 2000, Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan, was the first hospital to adopt CDR-Web as their primary medical record point-of-truth for both their primary and offsite hospitals and supporting facilities. This brought patient record access immediately to the point-of-care.

Within the following two years, comprehensive, CDR-Rx, a hospital-based computerized physician order entry (CPOE) was integrated into CDR-Web, resulting in significant improvements for the inpatient pharmacy, enabling medication delivery to the floor five times faster than before CPOE implementation. 

In 1998, we released CDR-Web, the first commercially available web-based Clinical Data Repository, as our flagship product.  A Clinical Data Repository is a “patient-based” database that is focused on clinical healthcare data, allowing users to view patient records electronically.  In the time where every hospital in the world had people dedicated to managing and delivering large paper charts, being brought up from the Records Room to the patient’s nursing station for the physician and clinical staff to review, CDR-Web made that same information immediately available via laptops and mobile workstations, directly in the patient’s room, using a powerful SQL Database and intuitive web-based interface.

Over the next 7 years, additional modules were added to CDR-Web, each just as revolutionary as the product itself.  These included web-based document scanning, prescription order entry with real-time medication interaction screening, and a personal view or “portal” to a patient’s own record (later becoming known in the industry as a PHR, or Patient Health Record).  On top of that, CDR-Web itself had multi-tier permissions and preferences, allowing the user experience to be customized at the facility, user’s role and down to the individual user.

For over a decade, CDR-Web was installed and operated as the primary medical record for several Michigan Hospitals, including Providence Hospital of Southfield, Botsford Hospital of Farmington, and Central Michigan Community Hospital as well as Bay Medical Hospital in Florida.

To date, some still refer to CDR-Web as “the most easy-to-use and intuitive” application they have ever used.
