Order Set Lifecycle Methodology

OSOS has developed a comprehensive methodology for the development, approval and implementation of order sets that:

• Gives your content experts ownership of their order set content
• Eliminates needless bureaucracy that can burden clinicians and lead to disengagement from the project
• Maintains adherence to appropriate organizational standards and best practices when appropriate

Order Set Best Practices

OSOS has the correct processes to support all phases of the order set lifecycle including development, approval, implementation and maintenance. OSOS has the Order set design methodology to optimize order set usability while maximizing clinical impact.

OSOS Philosophy

OSOS has a unique philosophy and approach to order set projects:

• Order set projects are clinical projects. Order set projects will only succeed if clinicians are engaged in and lead order set development, approval and implementation
• The key challenge of an order set project is how to implement the knowledge of your clinicians into order sets
• Order set projects are complex and must be run effectively. The implementation of order set lifecycle best practices and order set project methodology are the foundation of your project
• An order set project is about the healthcare team. All stakeholders must be engaged for project success including nurses, physicians, pharmacists, allied health members, as well as lab and diagnostic imaging professionals when appropriate
