Clinical templates

Ardens Clinical offers a wide range of decision support, including condition and medication-related templates, to streamline the clinician's workflow and provide consistent best-practice care for patients

Safety alerts

Real-time drug monitoring and safety alerts appear directly within EMIS Web and SystmOne, so clinicians are immediately informed of potential problems relating to medication, for example outstanding drug monitoring and blood test abnormalities

Formularies

Formularies for SystmOne ensure prescribers are directed towards appropriate first or second-line medication safely and highlight suitable lower-cost options

Searches

Evidence-based searches support medicines-optimisation and improve patient outcomes

Blood test alerts

Blood test due analyser for EMIS Web alerts staff to blood tests due for the patient, based on prescribed medication and other recorded patient information. On SystmOne this information is displayed in views on templates such as Drug Review Required or Long Term Condition Initial Review

Prescribing dashboards

Ardens Manager prescribing dashboards now include patient-level data to identify patients on medication needing attention, as well as overall prescribing trends

Thurrock

"It is really great that we have now a local End of Life anticipatory drug formulary. It will improve patient care, will make life much easier for practices and I believe is a small but important milestone in Grays PCN development and for other practices in Thurrock who have Ardens templates."
