Wildcat Hospital just learned that their current EHR will no longer be supported by the IS vendor starting in 2 years. In the hospital's rush to select an EHR IS system, it has decided to take some shortcuts. These short cuts include:
- Creating a committee of only three people to select the system
-Not going on a site visit
-Not performing system analysis
- Deferring planning until the contract is signed.
This was the
recommendation of the chief executive officer of the healthcare
facility. The logic behind his recommendation to defer planning was
that there will be some time after the contract is signed but
before the software is available, so the planning can fill in this
time period. The contact was signed yesterday so the planning is
ready to commence.
Use your professional knowledge and understanding of project planning and implementation of IS system to make a judgment about the CEO's decision.
Do you agree with his/her decision about the shortcuts? Explain your response.
Now that the contract is signed, what are your recommendations for planning the implementation
As per professional knowledge and understanding of the project
and implementation of EHR, it is a multidisciplinary approach to
create a new system it needs design practice workflow, team
training, privacy, and security compliance. This process
implementation benefits the entire organization including patients.
It needs significant resources and staff support and needs close
attention to make process and awareness about different functions.
In many organization, CEO make shortcuts to improve functionality
with additional training. Template needs to meet meaningful use the
physician quality reporting system standards by federal
regulations.
I do not agree with the CEO decision about the shortcuts. Because
shortcuts can make catastrophic issues later it can damage the
revenue cycle for months and reduce patient confidence and harm
relations with other health care providers. shortcut make penalties
from the federal government when it doesn't meet the regulatory
standards. This plan should be changed to the best benefit for EHR
implementation with IS vendor support. the contract should be
signed carefully before planning the project.
