Abstract

Although electronic health record optimization programs are common in healthcare organizations, a dearth of published evaluations of these programs exists. Little is known about the ability of optimization programs to handle flooding requests for change and achieve their objectives of cost savings, value, quality of care, and efficiency. This program evaluation reviewed one organization's electronic health record clinical optimization program. The evaluation examines the implementation of the insulin dosing calculator project at five hospitals within a large nonprofit healthcare organization using interviews, project documents, reported insulin dosing errors, and workflow observation to determine if the program provides sufficient structure and processes to successfully implement large optimization projects and achieve the project's desired outcomes. This evaluation finds that the optimization program processes support the implementation of large projects. The program can improve the planning of human resources to increase productivity and reduce waste. A clearer definition of meaningful project outcomes at the onset would allow the program to measure and communicate its accomplishments across the organization.

优化与发展:电子病历优化计划案例研究。
尽管电子病历优化项目在医疗机构中很常见,但已发表的对这些项目的评估却很少。人们对优化项目是否有能力处理大量的变更请求,并实现节约成本、提高价值、改善医疗质量和效率的目标知之甚少。本项目评估回顾了一家机构的电子病历临床优化项目。评估通过访谈、项目文件、胰岛素剂量错误报告和工作流程观察,对一家大型非营利性医疗机构的五家医院实施胰岛素剂量计算器项目的情况进行了检查,以确定该项目是否提供了足够的结构和流程来成功实施大型优化项目并实现项目的预期成果。评估发现,优化计划流程支持大型项目的实施。该计划可以改善人力资源规划,提高生产率,减少浪费。在一开始就对有意义的项目成果进行更明确的定义,将使该计划能够在整个组织范围内衡量和交流其成就。

期刊介绍: For over 30 years, CIN: Computers, Informatics, Nursing has been at the interface of the science of information and the art of nursing, publishing articles on the latest developments in nursing informatics, research, education and administrative of health information technology. CIN connects you with colleagues as they share knowledge on implementation of electronic health records systems, design decision-support systems, incorporate evidence-based healthcare in practice, explore point-of-care computing in practice and education, and conceptually integrate nursing languages and standard data sets. Continuing education contact hours are available in every issue.
