Final Project:
Implementation Assessment of Electronic Health Record.
Objective
:
For this assignment, you will create the assessment to implement the new HER in a Health care setting. The assessment phase is foundational to all other EHR implementation steps, and involves determining if the practice is ready to make the change from paper records to electronic (EHRs), or to upgrade their current system to a new certified version. You will be encourage to choose a Community Health Center or a Doctor’s Office. The Assessment is designed because our world has been radically transformed by digital technology – smart phones, tablets, and web-enabled devices have transformed our daily lives and the way we communicate. Medicine is an information-rich enterprise. A greater and more seamless flow of information within a digital health care infrastructure, created by electronic health records (EHRs), encompasses and leverages digital progress and can transform the way care is delivered and compensated. With EHRs, information is available whenever and wherever it is needed.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, a component of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, represents the Nation’s first substantial commitment of Federal resources to support the widespread adoption of EHRs. As of August 2012, 54 percent of the Medicare- and Medicaid-eligible professionals had registered for the
meaningful use incentive program
.
The paper will be 8 pages long. More information and due date will provide in the assignments link.
ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES (2 points /10%):
The
assessment
should look at the current state of the practice:
Are administrative processes organized, efficient, and well documented?
Are clinical workflows efficient, clearly mapped out, and understood by all staff?
Are data collection and reporting processes well established and documented?
Are staff members computer literate and comfortable with information technology?
Does the practice have access to
high-speed internet connectivity
?
Does the practice have access to the financial capital required to purchase new or additional hardware?
Are there clinical priorities or needs that should be addressed?
Does the practice have specialty specific requirements?
Through the Regional Extension Centers (RECs), we’ve learned that these questions and assessment tools provide a good understanding of the current state of the practice and can help identify key goals for improvement. Often, these goals relate to patient quality, patient satisfaction, practice productivity and efficiency, improved quality of work environment, and most important to the overall goal – improved health care.

Develop a 5-7 page implementation plan addressing the various factors critical to the successful deployment of the new or upgraded telehealth technology that was the focus of the previous two assessments. Introduction Technology continues to move at an accelerated pace, and the delivery of health care is shifting from office-based environments to the home. For this reason, health care organizations must be at technology's cutting edge in order to remain competitive in today's environment. Integrating the daily activities of patients into the health care continuum will improve the quality of care that is provided and enable more holistic care. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop an implementation plan that addresses the various factors critical to the successful deployment of the new or upgraded telehealth technology that was the focus of your previous assessments. Preparation Based on the positive reactions and feedback from stakeholders with regard to the proposed telehealth technology, executive leaders have decided to move forward with implementation of this telehealth solution and have asked you to develop the implementation plan. To prepare for the assessment, you are encouraged to reflect on the factors critical to the successful deployment of the new or upgraded telehealth technology and on how such technology would be implemented in your organization or practice setting. In addition, you are encouraged to become familiar with the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process for successfully implementing information systems or a change model for technology use that you think best supports your technology implementation ideas. Refer to the suggested readings, supplemented, as desired, by your own research. You may also wish to:

This document discusses planning for successful implementation of electronic health records (EHRs). It notes that EHR implementation projects often fail, with failure rates as high as 70%. To achieve success, the document recommends: 1) establishing an effective implementation team, 2) finalizing goals and priorities, 3) developing an implementation strategy and scope, 4) creating a detailed implementation plan and timeline, 5) emphasizing communication, and 6) establishing benchmarks to measure success. By following these steps, practices can keep EHR implementations on track to realize the benefits of digitization.
How to Navigate an EHR Implementation LifecycleLarry Kaiser
An EHR system is a lifetime investment, and it requires planning, budget, resources, and tools for long-term success. At Optimum Healthcare IT, we believe that the EHR Implementation Lifecycle consists of six stages: Strategic Planning, Design, Build & Test, Interoperability, Training & Activation, and Post Go-Live. Do you know how to navigate this lifecycle? Where does your organization fit into this lifecycle?

8 Electronic Health Record (EHR) Downstream ChallengesCitiusTech
The document discusses challenges faced by healthcare organizations during electronic health record (EHR) transitions and standardization. It outlines eight common challenges, including shortage of trained resources, complex data mapping between systems, lack of test data, over-reliance on new EHR features, differing requirements across multiple sites, issues with data migration, deciding whether to retrofit old or build new dashboards, and establishing common foundational measures. For each challenge, it provides mitigation steps such as contracting new resources, detailed data mapping, using rapid prototyping, evaluating EHR and dashboard integration options, standardizing processes and involving key stakeholders. The conclusion emphasizes the need for organizations to anticipate obstacles and avoid disruptions during an EHR transition.
1) IT planning is an essential management competency for organizations to ensure their technology capabilities are well-positioned to support operations. The IT life cycle includes elements like planning, selection, implementation, support and eventual retirement of systems.
2) Effective IT planning follows a structured process and considers the organization's strategy, generates ideas for initiatives, prioritizes projects, and ensures necessary infrastructure. Planning horizons vary but are often 3-5 years with annual refreshers.
3) When implementing an electronic health record (EHR), a multi-year plan is necessary since components build upon each other incrementally to enhance clinical capabilities over time, as reflected in models like HIMSS Analytics' EMR Adoption Model
UoA Health Informatics Stakeholder Register.docxwrite4
This document provides instructions and resources for a healthcare informatics project. Students will choose a health outcome and develop a plan to improve it through the use of information systems or technology. They will conduct interviews and complete a series of assignments culminating in a presentation proposing their project. Assignments include a project proposal, stakeholder register, work breakdown structure, evaluation plan, interview report, and final presentation. The goal is to apply informatics knowledge to program management and leadership.
Total Quality Management (TQM) is a management approach focused on customer satisfaction through processes involving all employees. The key principles of TQM include being customer-focused, using a process-centered and integrated systems approach, strategic planning, continual improvement, and fact-based decision making. Achieving TQM requires training all employees, removing barriers to quality work, and instituting leadership to help employees improve.
This document provides an overview of the FOCUS-PDCA continuous improvement strategy. It describes each step in the process: Find a Process to Improve, Organize a Team, Clarify the Current Process, Understand Variation, Select an Improvement Strategy, Plan the Improvement, Do the Plan, Check the Results, and Act to Hold the Gains. For each step, it explains the objectives and provides examples of tools that can be used, such as flowcharts, check sheets, control charts, and surveys. The overall purpose of FOCUS-PDCA is to establish a structured process for problem solving and continuously improving processes.
The document summarizes an industrial engineering project at Cermak Health Services, which provides healthcare to detainees at Cook County Jail. The project aimed to improve the medication administration process, which was not meeting requirements to deliver medications within 24 hours. Using Six Sigma methodology, the industrial engineers mapped current processes, identified inefficiencies, and are implementing improvements such as standardizing processes, reducing non-value-added steps, and leveraging a new computer system. The project demonstrates how industrial engineering techniques can be applied in healthcare to improve quality and efficiency.
The document describes a standardized improvement framework called the Value Summary 2.0. It provides guidance on using the framework to define an improvement project, conduct a baseline analysis, design and implement changes, and monitor outcomes. The framework includes 5 sections - project definition, baseline analysis and investigation, improvement design and implementation, and monitoring and impact. Each section contains elements to address such as defining SMART goals, examining current processes, identifying root causes, designing reliable new processes, and continuously measuring metrics. The framework is intended to promote structured, evidence-based process improvement work.
A practical guide to service improvement in healthcare.Jonathan Popoola
This document provides guidance on improving organizational services through process improvement methodologies. It discusses two improvement approaches: the five step approach involving preparation, launch, diagnosis, implementation, and evaluation; and the model for improvement involving defining goals, metrics, and potential changes using PDSA cycles. Additional tools covered include process mapping, overcoming resistance to change, and calculating return on investment. The overall aim is to help organizations continuously improve performance, reduce costs, and increase effectiveness through developing logical business processes.
The document provides guidance on developing goals and desired outcomes for teen pregnancy prevention programs using a Behavior-Determinants-Interventions (BDI) logic model. It explains that the BDI model clearly links a program's health goal, behaviors to be changed, determinants that influence behaviors, and interventions. It then outlines the 4-step process to complete the BDI model: 1) select a health goal, 2) identify behaviors affecting the goal, 3) select determinants linked to the behaviors, and 4) develop measurable outcome statements. The fictional FYN program then works through this process to create a BDI logic model for their teen pregnancy prevention program with the goal of reducing teen pregnancy rates.
The document discusses best practices for healthcare project management. It outlines a typical project management plan consisting of four phases (P0-P3): project initiation, project planning, project execution, and project closure. Each phase has key tasks and mandatory/recommended documentation. Challenges are analyzed for each phase regarding technology, organization, timing and finances. Change management and six sigma approaches are also summarized. The overall goal is to ensure project success by meeting objectives, timelines and budgets through professional planning and management.
This document discusses health IT project management and implementation. It notes that 50-80% of electronic health record projects fail, especially larger projects. Reasons for failure include poorly defined goals, lack of stakeholder support, and lack of incentives. Standards-based project management is recommended, including defining goals and resources, analyzing workflows, and establishing a project plan and timeline. Measuring return on investment through defined metrics is important for determining success.

Process Improvement –
Reduction in Wait Time for
Patients in a Doctor Office
Executive Summary
Dr. Deasley is a popular Doctor in Tampa, Florida specializing in primary care. He spends a great deal of
time with each of his patients, typically, 45 minutes to one (1) hour. As a result, there are many other
patients waiting in the waiting room who become impatient at the long wait time. The Doctor has hours
every day except Wednesdays. He has Hospital Clinic on Wednesdays and does not have office hours.
Dr. Deasley’s office hours are 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM (patients can be scheduled up until 5:30 PM) on
Tuesdays and Thursdays and 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM (patients can be scheduled up until 7:30 PM) on
Mondays and Fridays. He does Hospital Rounds from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM. He conducts patient call
backs between patients, during his lunch hour and after office hours. We triage the calls so he gets back
to more seriously sick patients first. However, sometimes he doesn’t call back non-emergencies until the
next AM. Dr. Deasley is becomes overbooked because he likes to have 10 patients scheduled per day.
However, due to time constraints he frequently needs to rebook patients he is unable to see due to time
constraints.
Dr. Deasley’s patients and staff love him for his patience and attention. But, several long term patients
have left his practice because of this issue. This has resulted in a decrease in revenue for the office. In
addition, his office is experiencing a rather high rate of staff turnover. S ...

Workflow Continuity—Moving Beyond Business Continuity

Published online: 6 July 2012
# Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine 2012
Abstract As hospitals move towards providing in-house
24×7 services, there is an increasing need for information
systems to be available around the clock. This study inves-
tigates one organization’s need for a workflow continuity
solution that provides around the clock availability for in-
formation systems that do not provide highly available
services. The organization investigated is a large multifacil-
ity healthcare organization that consists of 20 hospitals and
more than 30 imaging centers. A case analysis approach was
used to investigate the organization’s efforts. The results
show an overall reduction in downtimes where radiologists
could not continue their normal workflow on the integrated
Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS)
solution by 94 % from 2008 to 2011. The impact of un-
planned downtimes was reduced by 72 % while the impact
of planned downtimes was reduced by 99.66 % over the
same period. Additionally more than 98 h of radiologist
impact due to a PACS upgrade in 2008 was entirely elimi-
nated in 2011 utilizing the system created by the workflow
continuity approach. Workflow continuity differs from high
availability and business continuity in its design process and
available services. Workflow continuity only ensures that
critical workflows are available when the production system
is unavailable due to scheduled or unscheduled downtimes.
Workflow continuity works in conjunction with business
continuity and highly available system designs. The results
of this investigation revealed that this approach can add
significant value to organizations because impact on users
is minimized if not eliminated entirely.

Background
Recently, the US government mandated the use of health
information technology for healthcare providers [1]. The
legislation outlines financial penalties for providers that
choose not to adopt technologies as well as benefits for
those that do adopt the technologies. As the adoption of
health information technology increases, so will the need for
information systems that allow critical organizational work-
flows to continue when those systems are unavailable due to
either scheduled or unscheduled system downtimes.
This paper is a case analysis of one organization’s solu-
tion to a need for a system that provides workflow continu-
ity around the clock. Workflow continuity moves beyond.

Health care business analyses
Health Care Business Operations and Performance
Introduction
In this module, you will explore the relationship and potential synergy created by consistent vision, mission, goals, and strategic plan. Health care strategy can be formed in one of two ways: it is intended and deliberate, which is created by plans, or it emerges through a pattern of uncoordinated decisions and actions (it just happens). Plans help to create a deliberate strategy. This is a discovery process in which health care organizations define their markets and assess internal operations. Plans move the organization forward toward the realization of a vision. The strategic plan or plan of action is necessary to achieve certain goals and objectives. The plan helps to create alignment and consensus around the organization's intentions. Key managers help to organize efforts and garner momentum for these strategies.
The Strategic Plan
The strategic plan changes or creates additional service lines, clinical procedures, and geographic locations of new clinics, rooms, or other facilities. The plan helps decide where to allocate resources for the high-level initiatives such as new medical technologies. The plan also identifies potential partners for an integrated delivery network or expanded system. When assessing a health care organization, ask what evidence you see of them attempting to work towards a certain vision. What services are they providing? How do they implement the strategy? How are they different from other clinical organizations in the community? How do they remain competitive?
Operations Internal Assessment and Improvement
Introduction
In this module, you will learn to identify methods of assessing and improving the quality of a health care organization. Developing processes is critical in assessing and improving quality since a process is how work gets accomplished. Until processes are fully documented, the interactions and steps cannot be appreciated. The "as-is process" documents what is actually occurring, versus what is supposed to occur. The "to-be process" documents the vision and the proposed process once improvements have been made. By fixing the process, you improve performance. The business process is a set of activities and tasks that are performed in sequence to achieve a specific outcome. The strategy of process improvement increases the throughput (capacity or volume) of a process; eliminates choke points or bottlenecks; and reduces costs, steps, waste, and resources. Look for steps that add value and eliminate those that do not. Reduce the variation in performance over time, remembering that variability causes resource inefficiency.
Analyzing Performance
Methods for analyzing performance include trend analysis and benchmarking. Trend analysis helps health care organizations answer the question, "How are we performing over time?" Benchmarking asks how we compare to our competition. Benchmarking is th ...

1)The Steps for Data to ImplimentationPlanning for ChangeChange.pdfssuserd6ce341
1)The Steps for Data to Implimentation:
Planning for Change
Change is complex and dynamic. It involves moving or transforming from something familiar to
something new. Change can be broad, affecting multiple practices or aspects of the program, or it
might be narrow, affecting fewer practices. Regardless of the scale, change is a dynamic active
and on-going process, rather than a single event.
There are many reasons for programs or agencies to engage in a change process. Some of these
may include:
• A newly defined vision or direction
• A crisis
• A new mandate
• Data that supports a change is needed
It is important that program and agency leaders first examine the current organizational and
political climate to assess readiness to both begin and sustain implementation and scaling up (or
expansion) of new practices or an innovation. It is important to recognize that, planning and
engaging in the implementation of any new innovation, evidence-based practice, or cluster of
practices takes time, energy and resources. The change process can be understood and organized
using defined steps and subsequent activities that are needed to move a concept into reality.
These steps and activities are outlined in the following document, \"A Guide to the
Implementation Process: Stages, Steps and Activities\".
Stage 1: Exploration
The State Leadership Team (SLT) should include cross- sector representation of agencies and
programs impacted by the proposed initiative. The composition, vision and mission of this initial
team may change over time as they go through the stages and steps.
The SLT ensures that the perspectives of key stakeholders from every level of the service system
are included as a part of a needs assessment of the current service delivery system. All available
data describing current challenges and need for change should be gathered and shared with
stakeholders. Stakeholders help build a common understanding of the current status and the
desired changes in practices and outcomes.During the exploration stage, an important
consideration for the State Leadership Team is whether they can commit to a multi-year
implementation process.
example of Exploration
• A State Leadership Team has been established to oversee the initiative.
• A stakeholder group has explored the need for change and the fit of potential new practices or
innovation.
• An innovation or set of practices was selected which addresses the need and is likely to result
in desired example.
• The service system and current practices were analyzed to determine necessary changes in
infrastructure, and training, technical assistance and coaching.
• The decision was made to proceed with the implementation initiative and move into
installation.
• Necessary agency or cross agency leadership has committed to supporting the implementation
of selected practices over multiple years.
Stage 2: Installation
The goal of the installation stage is to build system capacity which will support the
implemen.

Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, it is recommended that you complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
Knowing the best practice for our patients is very important in providing safe and effective care. Understanding best practices can help nurses identify areas of care that need to be improved. To identify areas of need, nurses must use evidence from various sources, such as the literature, clinical practice guidelines (CPG), professional organization practice alerts or position papers, and protocols. These sources of evidence can also be used to set goals for improvement and best practices with an eye toward improving the care experience or outcomes for patients.
The challenge facing many care environments and health care practitioners is how to plan for change and implement changes. For if we cannot effectively implement changes in practice or procedure, then our goals of improving care will likely amount to nothing. This assessment focuses on allowing you to practice locating, assessing, analyzing, and implementing change strategies in order to improve patient outcomes related to one or more clinical goals.
This assessment will take the form of a data table to identify areas for improvement and to set one or more outcome goals, as well as a narrative describing a change plan that would help you to achieve the goals you have set.
Professional Context
One area in health care that it is necessary to consider is the environment in which nurses work. It is important that this environment evolves and changes so that all patients are adequately supported. For this assessment, you will develop a change strategy to improve the health care environment. These changes can be rooted in a desire to improve clinical outcomes and data related to assessment accuracy, drug administration, or disease recovery rates. A key skill for master's-level nurses is to be able to evaluate clinical data and create a change plan to help drive improvements in the data to reach set goals.
Scenario
Consider a current environment. This could be your current care setting, the care setting presented in the scenario Vila Health: Using Concept Maps for Diagnosis, or a care setting in which you are interested in working. For the setting that you choose you will need to have a data set that depicts sub-optimal outcomes related to a clinical issue. This data could be from existing sources in the course, a relevant data set that already exists (a data set from the case study you used as a basis for your previous Concept Map assessment or from your current place of practice), or an appropriate data set that you have created yourself. (Note: if you choose to create your own data set, check with your instructor first .

8 Electronic Health Record (EHR) Downstream ChallengesCitiusTech
The document discusses challenges faced by healthcare organizations during electronic health record (EHR) transitions and standardization. It outlines eight common challenges, including shortage of trained resources, complex data mapping between systems, lack of test data, over-reliance on new EHR features, differing requirements across multiple sites, issues with data migration, deciding whether to retrofit old or build new dashboards, and establishing common foundational measures. For each challenge, it provides mitigation steps such as contracting new resources, detailed data mapping, using rapid prototyping, evaluating EHR and dashboard integration options, standardizing processes and involving key stakeholders. The conclusion emphasizes the need for organizations to anticipate obstacles and avoid disruptions during an EHR transition.
1) IT planning is an essential management competency for organizations to ensure their technology capabilities are well-positioned to support operations. The IT life cycle includes elements like planning, selection, implementation, support and eventual retirement of systems.
2) Effective IT planning follows a structured process and considers the organization's strategy, generates ideas for initiatives, prioritizes projects, and ensures necessary infrastructure. Planning horizons vary but are often 3-5 years with annual refreshers.
3) When implementing an electronic health record (EHR), a multi-year plan is necessary since components build upon each other incrementally to enhance clinical capabilities over time, as reflected in models like HIMSS Analytics' EMR Adoption Model

The document summarizes an industrial engineering project at Cermak Health Services, which provides healthcare to detainees at Cook County Jail. The project aimed to improve the medication administration process, which was not meeting requirements to deliver medications within 24 hours. Using Six Sigma methodology, the industrial engineers mapped current processes, identified inefficiencies, and are implementing improvements such as standardizing processes, reducing non-value-added steps, and leveraging a new computer system. The project demonstrates how industrial engineering techniques can be applied in healthcare to improve quality and efficiency.
The document describes a standardized improvement framework called the Value Summary 2.0. It provides guidance on using the framework to define an improvement project, conduct a baseline analysis, design and implement changes, and monitor outcomes. The framework includes 5 sections - project definition, baseline analysis and investigation, improvement design and implementation, and monitoring and impact. Each section contains elements to address such as defining SMART goals, examining current processes, identifying root causes, designing reliable new processes, and continuously measuring metrics. The framework is intended to promote structured, evidence-based process improvement work.
A practical guide to service improvement in healthcare.Jonathan Popoola
This document provides guidance on improving organizational services through process improvement methodologies. It discusses two improvement approaches: the five step approach involving preparation, launch, diagnosis, implementation, and evaluation; and the model for improvement involving defining goals, metrics, and potential changes using PDSA cycles. Additional tools covered include process mapping, overcoming resistance to change, and calculating return on investment. The overall aim is to help organizations continuously improve performance, reduce costs, and increase effectiveness through developing logical business processes.
The document provides guidance on developing goals and desired outcomes for teen pregnancy prevention programs using a Behavior-Determinants-Interventions (BDI) logic model. It explains that the BDI model clearly links a program's health goal, behaviors to be changed, determinants that influence behaviors, and interventions. It then outlines the 4-step process to complete the BDI model: 1) select a health goal, 2) identify behaviors affecting the goal, 3) select determinants linked to the behaviors, and 4) develop measurable outcome statements. The fictional FYN program then works through this process to create a BDI logic model for their teen pregnancy prevention program with the goal of reducing teen pregnancy rates.
The document discusses best practices for healthcare project management. It outlines a typical project management plan consisting of four phases (P0-P3): project initiation, project planning, project execution, and project closure. Each phase has key tasks and mandatory/recommended documentation. Challenges are analyzed for each phase regarding technology, organization, timing and finances. Change management and six sigma approaches are also summarized. The overall goal is to ensure project success by meeting objectives, timelines and budgets through professional planning and management.
This document discusses health IT project management and implementation. It notes that 50-80% of electronic health record projects fail, especially larger projects. Reasons for failure include poorly defined goals, lack of stakeholder support, and lack of incentives. Standards-based project management is recommended, including defining goals and resources, analyzing workflows, and establishing a project plan and timeline. Measuring return on investment through defined metrics is important for determining success.

Reduction in Wait Time for
Patients in a Doctor Office
Executive Summary
Dr. Deasley is a popular Doctor in Tampa, Florida specializing in primary care. He spends a great deal of
time with each of his patients, typically, 45 minutes to one (1) hour. As a result, there are many other
patients waiting in the waiting room who become impatient at the long wait time. The Doctor has hours
every day except Wednesdays. He has Hospital Clinic on Wednesdays and does not have office hours.
Dr. Deasley’s office hours are 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM (patients can be scheduled up until 5:30 PM) on
Tuesdays and Thursdays and 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM (patients can be scheduled up until 7:30 PM) on
Mondays and Fridays. He does Hospital Rounds from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM. He conducts patient call
backs between patients, during his lunch hour and after office hours. We triage the calls so he gets back
to more seriously sick patients first. However, sometimes he doesn’t call back non-emergencies until the
next AM. Dr. Deasley is becomes overbooked because he likes to have 10 patients scheduled per day.
However, due to time constraints he frequently needs to rebook patients he is unable to see due to time
constraints.
Dr. Deasley’s patients and staff love him for his patience and attention. But, several long term patients
have left his practice because of this issue. This has resulted in a decrease in revenue for the office. In
addition, his office is experiencing a rather high rate of staff turnover. S ...

# Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine 2012
Abstract As hospitals move towards providing in-house
24×7 services, there is an increasing need for information
systems to be available around the clock. This study inves-
tigates one organization’s need for a workflow continuity
solution that provides around the clock availability for in-
formation systems that do not provide highly available
services. The organization investigated is a large multifacil-
ity healthcare organization that consists of 20 hospitals and
more than 30 imaging centers. A case analysis approach was
used to investigate the organization’s efforts. The results
show an overall reduction in downtimes where radiologists
could not continue their normal workflow on the integrated
Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS)
solution by 94 % from 2008 to 2011. The impact of un-
planned downtimes was reduced by 72 % while the impact
of planned downtimes was reduced by 99.66 % over the
same period. Additionally more than 98 h of radiologist
impact due to a PACS upgrade in 2008 was entirely elimi-
nated in 2011 utilizing the system created by the workflow
continuity approach. Workflow continuity differs from high
availability and business continuity in its design process and
available services. Workflow continuity only ensures that
critical workflows are available when the production system
is unavailable due to scheduled or unscheduled downtimes.
Workflow continuity works in conjunction with business
continuity and highly available system designs. The results
of this investigation revealed that this approach can add
significant value to organizations because impact on users
is minimized if not eliminated entirely.

Background
Recently, the US government mandated the use of health
information technology for healthcare providers [1]. The
legislation outlines financial penalties for providers that
choose not to adopt technologies as well as benefits for
those that do adopt the technologies. As the adoption of
health information technology increases, so will the need for
information systems that allow critical organizational work-
flows to continue when those systems are unavailable due to
either scheduled or unscheduled system downtimes.
This paper is a case analysis of one organization’s solu-
tion to a need for a system that provides workflow continu-
ity around the clock. Workflow continuity moves beyond.

Health Care Business Operations and Performance
Introduction
In this module, you will explore the relationship and potential synergy created by consistent vision, mission, goals, and strategic plan. Health care strategy can be formed in one of two ways: it is intended and deliberate, which is created by plans, or it emerges through a pattern of uncoordinated decisions and actions (it just happens). Plans help to create a deliberate strategy. This is a discovery process in which health care organizations define their markets and assess internal operations. Plans move the organization forward toward the realization of a vision. The strategic plan or plan of action is necessary to achieve certain goals and objectives. The plan helps to create alignment and consensus around the organization's intentions. Key managers help to organize efforts and garner momentum for these strategies.
The Strategic Plan
The strategic plan changes or creates additional service lines, clinical procedures, and geographic locations of new clinics, rooms, or other facilities. The plan helps decide where to allocate resources for the high-level initiatives such as new medical technologies. The plan also identifies potential partners for an integrated delivery network or expanded system. When assessing a health care organization, ask what evidence you see of them attempting to work towards a certain vision. What services are they providing? How do they implement the strategy? How are they different from other clinical organizations in the community? How do they remain competitive?
Operations Internal Assessment and Improvement
Introduction
In this module, you will learn to identify methods of assessing and improving the quality of a health care organization. Developing processes is critical in assessing and improving quality since a process is how work gets accomplished. Until processes are fully documented, the interactions and steps cannot be appreciated. The "as-is process" documents what is actually occurring, versus what is supposed to occur. The "to-be process" documents the vision and the proposed process once improvements have been made. By fixing the process, you improve performance. The business process is a set of activities and tasks that are performed in sequence to achieve a specific outcome. The strategy of process improvement increases the throughput (capacity or volume) of a process; eliminates choke points or bottlenecks; and reduces costs, steps, waste, and resources. Look for steps that add value and eliminate those that do not. Reduce the variation in performance over time, remembering that variability causes resource inefficiency.
Analyzing Performance
Methods for analyzing performance include trend analysis and benchmarking. Trend analysis helps health care organizations answer the question, "How are we performing over time?" Benchmarking asks how we compare to our competition. Benchmarking is th ...

1)The Steps for Data to Implimentation:
Planning for Change
Change is complex and dynamic. It involves moving or transforming from something familiar to
something new. Change can be broad, affecting multiple practices or aspects of the program, or it
might be narrow, affecting fewer practices. Regardless of the scale, change is a dynamic active
and on-going process, rather than a single event.
There are many reasons for programs or agencies to engage in a change process. Some of these
may include:
• A newly defined vision or direction
• A crisis
• A new mandate
• Data that supports a change is needed
It is important that program and agency leaders first examine the current organizational and
political climate to assess readiness to both begin and sustain implementation and scaling up (or
expansion) of new practices or an innovation. It is important to recognize that, planning and
engaging in the implementation of any new innovation, evidence-based practice, or cluster of
practices takes time, energy and resources. The change process can be understood and organized
using defined steps and subsequent activities that are needed to move a concept into reality.
These steps and activities are outlined in the following document, \"A Guide to the
Implementation Process: Stages, Steps and Activities\".
Stage 1: Exploration
The State Leadership Team (SLT) should include cross- sector representation of agencies and
programs impacted by the proposed initiative. The composition, vision and mission of this initial
team may change over time as they go through the stages and steps.
The SLT ensures that the perspectives of key stakeholders from every level of the service system
are included as a part of a needs assessment of the current service delivery system. All available
data describing current challenges and need for change should be gathered and shared with
stakeholders. Stakeholders help build a common understanding of the current status and the
desired changes in practices and outcomes.During the exploration stage, an important
consideration for the State Leadership Team is whether they can commit to a multi-year
implementation process.
example of Exploration
• A State Leadership Team has been established to oversee the initiative.
• A stakeholder group has explored the need for change and the fit of potential new practices or
innovation.
• An innovation or set of practices was selected which addresses the need and is likely to result
in desired example.
• The service system and current practices were analyzed to determine necessary changes in
infrastructure, and training, technical assistance and coaching.
• The decision was made to proceed with the implementation initiative and move into
installation.
• Necessary agency or cross agency leadership has committed to supporting the implementation
of selected practices over multiple years.
Stage 2: Installation
The goal of the installation stage is to build system capacity which will support the

Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, it is recommended that you complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
Knowing the best practice for our patients is very important in providing safe and effective care. Understanding best practices can help nurses identify areas of care that need to be improved. To identify areas of need, nurses must use evidence from various sources, such as the literature, clinical practice guidelines (CPG), professional organization practice alerts or position papers, and protocols. These sources of evidence can also be used to set goals for improvement and best practices with an eye toward improving the care experience or outcomes for patients.
The challenge facing many care environments and health care practitioners is how to plan for change and implement changes. For if we cannot effectively implement changes in practice or procedure, then our goals of improving care will likely amount to nothing. This assessment focuses on allowing you to practice locating, assessing, analyzing, and implementing change strategies in order to improve patient outcomes related to one or more clinical goals.
This assessment will take the form of a data table to identify areas for improvement and to set one or more outcome goals, as well as a narrative describing a change plan that would help you to achieve the goals you have set.
Professional Context
One area in health care that it is necessary to consider is the environment in which nurses work. It is important that this environment evolves and changes so that all patients are adequately supported. For this assessment, you will develop a change strategy to improve the health care environment. These changes can be rooted in a desire to improve clinical outcomes and data related to assessment accuracy, drug administration, or disease recovery rates. A key skill for master's-level nurses is to be able to evaluate clinical data and create a change plan to help drive improvements in the data to reach set goals.
Scenario
Consider a current environment. This could be your current care setting, the care setting presented in the scenario Vila Health: Using Concept Maps for Diagnosis, or a care setting in which you are interested in working. For the setting that you choose you will need to have a data set that depicts sub-optimal outcomes related to a clinical issue. This data could be from existing sources in the course, a relevant data set that already exists (a data set from the case study you used as a basis for your previous Concept Map assessment or from your current place of practice), or an appropriate data set that you have created yourself. (Note: if you choose to create your own data set, check with your instructor first .

-xxxxd, unfortunately there isn’t any Ethical Code of Conduct that all countries follow to the letter. “When in Rome, you act as the Romans does.” Therefore, Chiquita did what they thought was right under the circumstances. Rather it was for profit or to save the lives of its employees. Their decision may have been considered unethical by the United States standards. But, to them it was the right thing to do to eliminate human causality. A lot of these atrocities stem from the wide gap in wealth distribution, corruption, and greed at the highest level in the government infrastructure. Not too long ago in the distant past in the United States, the government, politicians, influential business men and part of society partake in various atrocities as well against several groups of people all in the name of greed, profit, and racism. At the time, they felt their actions was justified, and continued the course without deviation.

Even if they went to the authorities they would probably have been found out and then they would end up still tortured and killed.

HSA-6197 Health Information System And Electronic Health
Record
Final Project
Final Project: Implementation Assessment of Electronic Health
Record.
Objective:
For this assignment, you will create the assessment to
implement the new HER in a Health care setting. The
assessment phase is foundational to all other EHR
implementation steps, and involves determining if the practice
is ready to make the change from paper records to
electronic (EHRs), or to upgrade their current system to a new
certified version. You will be encourage to choose a Community
Health Center or a Doctor’s Office. The Assessment is designed
because our world has been radically transformed by digital
technology – smart phones, tablets, and web-enabled devices
have transformed our daily lives and the way we communicate.
Medicine is an information-rich enterprise. A greater and more
seamless flow of information within a digital health care
infrastructure, created by electronic health records (EHRs),
encompasses and leverages digital progress and can transform
the way care is delivered and compensated. With EHRs,
information is available whenever and wherever it is needed.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical
Health (HITECH) Act, a component of the American Recovery
6. and Reinvestment Act of 2009, represents the Nation’s first
substantial commitment of Federal resources to support the
widespread adoption of EHRs. As of August 2012, 54 percent of
the Medicare- and Medicaid-eligible professionals had
registered for the meaningful use incentive program.
The paper will be 8-10 pages long. More information and due
date will provide in the assignments link.
ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES (10%):
The assessment should look at the current state of the practice:
· Are administrative processes organized, efficient, and well
documented?
· Are clinical workflows efficient, clearly mapped out, and
understood by all staff?
· Are data collection and reporting processes well established
and documented?
· Are staff members computer literate and comfortable with
information technology?
· Does the practice have access to high-speed internet
connectivity?
· Does the practice have access to the financial capital required
to purchase new or additional hardware?
· Are there clinical priorities or needs that should be addressed?
· Does the practice have specialty specific requirements?
Through the Regional Extension Centers (RECs), we’ve learned
that these questions and assessment tools provide a good
understanding of the current state of the practice and can help
identify key goals for improvement. Often, these goals relate to
patient quality, patient satisfaction, practice productivity and
efficiency, improved quality of work environment, and most
important to the overall goal – improved health care.
EACH PAPER SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
7. 1. Introduction (25%) Offer an abstract that provide a brief
outlook of the proposal and explaining in your own words what
is meant by a Electronic Health Record for a Health care
Facility.
2. Your Implementation Assessment of Electronic Health

b. Envision the Future
The next EHR implementation step is to envision the future
state of the practice. What would the practice leadership like to
see different in the future? More specifically:
· What will be different for the patients?
· What will be different for the providers?
· What will be different for the staff?c.Set Goals
Goals and needs should be documented to help guide decision-
making throughout the implementation process. And they may
need to be re-assessed throughout the EHR implementation
steps to ensure a smooth transition for the practice and all staff.
We recommend that you set goals in areas that are important
and meaningful to your practice. These may be clinical goals,
revenue goals, or goals around work environment. Goals in all
three areas will help assure balanced processes after the
implementation. Goals that are important to you will help you
and your staff through the change process. We recommend you
follow the “SMART” goals process. This process includes
setting objectives and goals that meet the following criteria:
8. · Specific – Achieving the goal would make a difference for our
patients and our practice
· Measureable – We can quantify the current level and the target
goal
· Attainable – Although the goal may be a stretch, we can
achieve it
· Relevant – This is worth the effort
· Time bound – There are deadlines and opportunities to
celebrate success!
These goals become the guide posts for an EHR implementation
project, and achieving these goals will motivate providers and
practice staff to make necessary changes and attain new skills.d.
Plan Your ApproachClarify and Prioritize
Building an EHR implementation plan becomes critical for
identifying the right tasks to perform, the order of those tasks,
and clear communication of tasks to the entire team involved
with the change process. One effective first step in the planning
process is for the team to segment tasks into three categories:
· What new work tasks/process are we going to start doing?
· What work tasks/process are we going to stop doing?
· What work tasks/process are we going to sustain?
The start/stop/sustain exercise helps clarify what the new work
environment will be like after the change and help the team
prioritize tasks in the overall EHR implementation plan.Steps in
the Planning Phase
Here are some tactical steps that typically occur during the EHR
implementation planning phase. You may collaborate and use
tools provided by your Regional Extension Center (REC), IT
vendor, and/or EHR vendor (if you already have an existing
EHR product) to complete these activities.
1. Analyze and map out the practice’s current workflow and
processes of how the practice currently gets work done (the
current state).
2. Map out how EHRs will enable desired workflows and
processes, creating new workflow patterns to improve
inefficiency or duplicative processes (the future state).
9. 3. Create a contingency plan – or back-up plan – to combat
issues that may arise throughout the implementation process.
4. Create a project plan for transitioning from paper to EHRs,
and appoint someone to manage the project plan.
5. Establish a chart abstraction plan, a means to convert or
transform, information from paper charts to electronic charts.
Identify specific data elements that will need to be entered into
the new EHR and if there are items that will be scanned.
6. Understand what data elements may be migrated from your
old system to your new one, such as patient demographics or
provider schedule information. Sometimes, being selective with
which data or how much data you want to migrate can influence
the ease of transition.
7. Identify concerns and obstacles regarding privacy and
security and create a plan to address them. It is essential to
emphasize the importance of privacy and security when
transitioning to EHRs.
e. Achieve Meaningful Use
The Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs provide a
financial incentive for achieving "meaningful use", which is the
use of certified EHR technology to achieve health and
efficiency goals. This section provides an overview of the Stage
1 and Stage 2 EHR meaningful use core and menu objectives for
eligible professionals (EPs) as outlined by CMS – which are
intended to set a baseline for electronic data capture and
information sharing.
The meaningful use objectives are grouped into five patient-
driven domains that relate to health outcomes policy priorities.
As depicted in the dashboards below, each core and menu
10. objective is aligned to one of the following domains:
· Improve Quality, Safety, Efficiency
· Engage Patients & Families
· Improve Care Coordination
· Improve Public and Population Health
· Ensure Privacy and Security for Personal Health Information

HAS-6197 Health Information System and Electronic Health
Record: Week 5
Administrative and Structural Analysis of an Electronic Health
Claim Management: Chapters 9 &10
Objective: In this assignment you are request to you will
describe, analyze and apply process of creating claims, locating
specific claim, methods used to submit electronic claims, and
the claim determination process used by health plans.
ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES (10%):
Students will judgmentally evaluate the readings from Chapter 9
and 10 on your textbook and from the article assigned for week
13. 5. The Purpose of this Administrative and Structural Analysis of
an Electronic Health Claim Management is to describes the
potential benefits of EHRs that include clinical outcomes (eg,
improved quality, reduced medical errors), organizational
outcomes (eg, financial and operational benefits), and societal
outcomes (eg, improved ability to conduct research, improved
population health, reduced costs). Despite these benefits,
studies in the literature highlight drawbacks associated with
EHRs, which include the high upfront acquisition costs, ongoing
maintenance costs, and disruptions to workflows that contribute
to temporary losses in productivity that are the result of
learning a new system. Moreover, EHRs are associated with
potential perceived privacy concerns among patients, which are
further addressed legislatively in the HITECH Act. Overall,
experts and policymakers believe that significant benefits to
patients and society can be realized when EHRs are widely
adopted and used in a “meaningful” way.
You need to develop a 4-5-page paper long including title page
and references page reproducing your understanding and
capability to relate the readings to claim management. Each
paper must be typewritten with 12-point font and double-spaced
with standard margins. Follow APA style 7th format when
referring to the selected articles and include a reference page.
EACH PAPER SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Introduction (25%) Provide a brief synopsis of the meaning
