Case Study “Investment in a Health IT Infrastructure, the Future Quality Imperative”
Steven Anderman
Chief Operating Officer & SVP, Operations
Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center
Final Project Implementation Assessment of Electronic Health .docxtjane3
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.
EACH PAPER SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
1.
Introduction (5 points / 25%)
Offer an abstract that provide a brief outlook of the proposal and explaining in your own words what is meant by a Electronic H.
Similar to EHR Transitions Webinar: Legacy Support & Staff Augmentation (20)
Application Management & Support Best PracticesJulie Champagne
In today’s healthcare IT environment, it takes a lot of support and coordination – of highly skilled and experienced technical staff – to keep a modern healthcare organization running smoothly. When a HCO considers outsourcing any portion of their IT operation, there are many unknowns and considerations to assess. This webcast will present best practices and processes in both exploring an application management support solution or partner and rollout, transition and implementation. Whether supporting a legacy or production application, the solution or partner should take complex and time-consuming tasks off of the organizations plate, allowing focus on more productive, strategic, operation improving and patient experience enhancing activities.
Business Continuity Planning: Documentation During EMR Downtime WebcastJulie Champagne
The headlines jump off the page: “Network Glitch Brings Down EMR,” “Nurses Want Probe Into EMR Failure,” “Setback After EMR Crashes,” “What to Do When IT Disaster Strikes,” and “Lessons Learned From an Extended EHR Outage.” When the EMR goes down what happens next is as important as what happened moments before, including a potential transition to manual documentation.
With patient care being intertwined, EMR technology is indispensable at many facilities. Unexpected downtime is rare, but when the EMR does go down, processes must be in place that enable staff to quickly access an alternative. This presentation will cover approaches to EMR business continuity including definition and documentation of workflows both within and between systems and workflows in a downtime situation. Further, most business continuity solutions will provide a copy of the patient’s chart, and the good ones will also allow for basic documentation that flows back into the patient’s electronic chart once the EMR is available again. Join us as we survey industry business continuity approaches and present best practices.
Optimizing a Data Migration with an AssessmentJulie Champagne
Performing an assessment of the legacy system(s) before embarking on a data migration project may not always be a part of the project plans, but an assessment is extremely valuable in refining the scope of the project, as well as setting up the project for success.
Please join us to review how taking the time to perform a thorough assessment of your legacy data may benefit your organization, both in the short-term and long-term, in helping to address the different nuances of multiple systems.
Learn how an assessment may be the right choice for sending your next data migration down the path to success!

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
