NYS eMolst Now Accessible via ADL Order Entry

Now ADL users can connect directly to the NYS eMOLST Registry with a single signon, eliminating the need to provide a separate login. The eMOLST registry can be accessed directly from the ADL Order Entry application. This allows the MOLST form to be shared among different healthcare organizations and eliminates the need to print and send the MOLST form when a patient is being transferred.

What is eMOLST?

The New York eMOLST Registry is a secure web-based application that allows enrolled users to complete the eMOLST forms and MOLST Chart Documentation Form (CDF) and allows 24/7 access in an emergency. It allows for electronic completion of the current New York State Department of Health-5003 MOLST form. By moving the MOLST form to a readily accessible electronic format and creating the New York eMOLST Registry, health care providers, including EMS, can have access to MOLST forms at all sites of care including hospitals, nursing homes and in the community.

Added Calculator for Collagenase Santyl Ointment to Order Entry

Order Entry has integrated the Santyl Calculator to assist in estimating the number of grams needed for therapy and the amount of SANTYL Ointment to apply per application. The calculator is available within the Order Entry Module.

When using the calculator enter the wound size and the duration of treatment to get your calculated answers. This is not intended to supersede independent clinical judgment or institutional protocols. The estimates serve as an ordering guide and are rounded values where appropriate that assume a constant wound size throughout the treatment period.
