Physician Go Live Review
PharmNet Goes Live August 15!
PharmNet is a Cerner software application for medication management, primarily for acute care settings. The application enables us to electronically capture and bring together key patient information-including home medications, allergies, height and weight-for improved medication reconciliation and patient safety. Nurses will directly enter patient data into the system at bedside workstations- reducing the amount of handwriting and paperwork required.
PharmNet will enhance patient safety by providing a single source of information that follows patients from encounter-to-encounter. PharmNet will make the medication reconciliation process easier by providing easy-to-read, printed reports that list all home and inpatient medications alphabetically, along with allergies. PharmNet is not computerized physician order entry, bar code medication administration, or a fully integrated, comprehensive electronic medical record. However, it lays the foundation for all of these. PharmNet is part of Catholic Health Initiatives' Clinical IT Strategy, our major effort to improve quality, safety and efficiency through technology.
PharmNet Help Desk: A 24/7 Command Center will function as a PharmNet help desk during go-live. Go-Live Command Center Help Lines will be provided for all users at 313.4343. The Command Center will be located in Administrative Conference Rooms 3 & 4 at Saint Joseph Hospital and in the CCH Conference Room at Saint Joseph East.

Reverence - Integrity - Compassion - Excellence — These words describe the essence of Saint Joseph Health System, which has been under the auspices of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth since 1877. From that time to this, this philosophy remains the cornerstone of patient care at Saint Joseph, a member of Catholic Health Initiatives, one of the nation's largest Catholic, not-for-profit health care organizations. Every employee, physician, and volunteer at our facilities continues the legacy of caring and working together to serve the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of the community.
The future of Saint Joseph Health System can be found in its past and in its commitment to improving the health of the citizens of Central and Eastern Kentucky. Saint Joseph is currently striving to meet the changing health care needs of the various communities in these regions in new and innovative ways. Current programs include promoting wellness in addition to treating illnesses, delivering health care in settings outside the hospital, and providing patients with a continuum of care for all the health care needs that arise throughout a person's lifetime.
