1. Clinical Transformation Utilizing Nursing Informatics
Many global and societal powers are
challenging change in health care today.
It is imperative all systems be able to
extract data values that are measurable;
improve quality, enhance services, and
reduce costs, thus bringing value to
healthcare services.
Clinical transformation brings a
comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach
to redesigning care delivery to achieve
excellence throughout the care continuum.
It brings together people and
management, technology and processes,
leadership and vision to achieve the
outcomes essential to meet government
regulations and Meaningful Use
requirements. This poster will assist you in
understanding these three areas, while
emphasizing the gains and benefits of
completing a successful clinical
transformation to meet the challenges of
change in healthcare today and foster
successful change and performance
improvements for the future.
Major change is dependent on the PEOPLE of the organization and all professional disciplines must be involved
in decision making and clinical transformation.
The people who must be included are the Organizational leaders, the C-Suite, Directors, Managers and assistant
managers .
The support of the people most affected by the potential change such as Physicians, nurses, ancillary staff,
housekeeping, transporters, and / or the volunteers must also be included.
Decisions surrounding the approach to a TECHNOLOGY deployment are a critical foundation for success.
Maintaining a patient focus as information is gathered and used across the healthcare enterprise creates a
system where quality and patient safety are enhanced through a patient-focused approach.
Organizations will need to deploy flexible and usable systems with the ability to easily move information across
functional and organizational boundaries with the objective of enhancing patient care.
Clinical Transformation creates lasting and far-reaching significances across your organization

PROCESS is often the most misaligned element of an Information technology deployment strategy. “Current
State” must be understood to ensure a clear vision of “Future State.”
Changes must be understood, discussed and refined. Important Process elements include: Effective process
redesign support, transparency related to the work of the organization, using measurements as a core driver for
evaluating results and the acceptance of standards throughout the organization.
This approach requires Discipline, Rigor, Focus and Clarity when it comes to the needed changes, timing and
communication of the changes, and methodology for the changes to occur.
