Question

Now, let's work our vision and the goals of our practice.

• To be successful, you have to have a vision of what you want your practice to look like after the EHR is implemented. Describe what you think the goals could be for your practice. Keep in mind that any time a new system is implemented, a somewhat painful transition period can be expected. Be sure to address the following prompts in your response:

• Is your practice adopting an EHR to improve patient flow throughout the office?
• What "vision" do you get from the physician leaders?
• What specific problems do you think the EHR can help them with?
• What do you think the staff are most concerned about during this transition?
• Are there any issues that would be deal-breakers?

Answer 1

Answer:

For success we need to have a vision of what we want our practice to look like after the EHR is implemented. Our goals would be to have the system that can support the need of data capturing and transferring adequately at the hospital like EHR applications. We know that that at any time a new system like EHR application is implemented; a somewhat painful transition period is seen/ expected.

• This is not the case that the practice of adopting an EHR is to improve patient flow throughout the office. But the practice of using EHR is to improve the patient information capturing adequately and this information can be used by the care unit as per their needs. This will help in developing quality data for patient information and it is compatible with many other applications.
• The "vision" we do get from the physician leaders is to get the right quality of data from patients so that physicians can work adequately and they are supported with high quality data for their clinical work.
• We do think that specific problems the EHR can help them with are to get the quality patient data and information which they can use for their effective clinical purposes. This will avoid the time wastage in data search and data quality by the physicians.

• We think that the staff are most concerned about during this transition because this is a change and it ask for larger time and commitment from the staff so staff are not willing to take forward this change. They may be showing resistance with this introduction.
• No we do not think that there any issues that would be deal-breakers. We do not have any major issue and the EHR is in the process smooth implementation. The staff and physician will be OK with the new proposed application.
