Successful EHR Implementation - Strategy & TipsJames Muir
Implementing an EHR is a complex project that requires extensive planning and involvement from all stakeholders. Key steps include defining goals and metrics, analyzing workflows, selecting an appropriate vendor, and providing comprehensive training for end users. A successful implementation follows best practices such as establishing executive support, implementing in increments, thoroughly testing the system, and providing ongoing support and feedback after going live. Shadowing providers during training and post go-live periods is critical to ensure adoption and maximize benefits of the new EHR system.
A good app is effective, cost-effective, feasible, profitable, user-friendly, safe, relevant, and usable. It also clearly shows any side effects and dose responses. However, many current health apps lack evidence on their effectiveness, safety, and how they were developed. Developing apps through a scientific process that involves users can help address these issues. This includes conceptualizing designs based on theory and user input, testing prototypes, and iterative development and field testing. The goal is to produce evidence-based, innovative health apps that can be safely implemented and improve outcomes.

Final results of the teleherence web-mobile-phone system to support client tr...husITa
Care or case management provides outreach and engagement, problem assessment and understanding, service planning of goals and objectives, advocacy and care coordination, referrals to resource, and monitoring plan progress and problem resolution. One major problem is clients’ adherence to service plans, with adherence failures ranging from about 24% to 90%. Recent technology has raised interest in using mobile smartphones to improve outcomes for clients receiving care management.
The goal of the Teleherence project was to improve client mental health outcomes including empowerment, self-efficacy, and clinician-client relationships by increasing their adherence to treatment and services using prediction technology and web-enabled telecommunications between clinicians, clients, and clients’ family and friends.
The Teleherence system allows clinicians to automatically provide voice or text communication with clients. The system could deliver a series of voice or text statements as well as questions that could accept responses from clients, and based on these responses, branch to additional statements or questions or perform other tasks such as playing an audio file.
Four applications of Teleherence found that while potential benefits can be had, many agencies have antiquated computing systems, are constantly threatened with budget cuts and reorganization, have non-standard interventions, and have high staff turnover making a sophisticated automated system difficulty to integrate into existing services. Adapting internet and mobile technology into services takes resources that agencies often prefer to devote to additional services, especially if no research establishes the effectiveness and cost savings of web-phone technologies. Finally, the security and privacy of client data is a constant struggle for agencies and researchers. All these concerns can derail service automation efforts.
This presentation suggests the road ahead in human services web-phone automation offers much potential, but is usually difficult, time consuming, and can substantially change how services are delivered.

This document discusses reliability in healthcare and strategies to improve it. It defines reliability as the consistency of achieving intended outcomes. Processes can be measured on a scale of reliability from 10-1 to 10-6. Strategies to improve reliability include preventing failures through standardization, identifying and mitigating failures through redundancy and decision aids, and redesigning systems based on understanding failure modes. Bundles, or groups of interventions that improve outcomes when implemented together, can also enhance reliability. The example of a diabetes care bundle includes various tests and education.
This document presents a literature review and proposed solution to implement mock code blue training programs at a rural hospital. The purpose is to determine if regular mock code training improves provider performance during actual code blue events, compared to no additional training between certification periods. The literature review found that simulation and mock code training generally increases participant skills, confidence, and team performance during codes. Several studies showed mock training led to better initial test scores and skill retention over 1 year, compared to traditional training alone. The proposed solution is to implement a structured mock code blue training program at the hospital to reinforce skills and maintain competency between certification periods. The program aims to improve patient outcomes and provider satisfaction.
1) The document describes a proposed model for integrating clinical decision support tools with an electronic medical record system.
2) In the proposed model, decision support would be provided by an external application that is invoked through a hyperlink in the electronic record and saves data to its own database.
3) This is presented as an alternative to building complex decision support directly within the electronic record system, as it could be implemented at lower cost and with less effort focused on user interfaces.

The emerging healthcare environment requires expanded patient access while delivering optimal outcomes and cost. As healthcare moves form a fee for service model to alternative delivery and payment models, there are opportunities for physical therapy to revolutionize the delivery of musculoskeletal medicine. Physical therapists are uniquely qualified to spearhead musculoskeletal care through direct access with the potential to improve patient satisfaction and outcomes while limiting unneeded medical care. While this model has been described in the military, there are few descriptions of this PT First approach in the private payer arena. This session will provide the attendee with a multifaceted perspective on the impact of physical therapy in emerging, collaborative healthcare models. Approaches to payers and employers with the business implications will be presented that influence these new models. Key strategies to implement a scalable, best practice model will be discussed including the logistical challenges and corollary solutions in the private arena. We will discus our experience implementing novel delivery models for management of neck, back, shoulder and knee pain. The session will deliver practical solutions to the challenges of implementing, assessing, and adapting a theoretical construct to a working viable program. Finally, the session will discuss how the use of a a large Patient Outcomes Registry and analysis of “big data” can drive best practice and inform development of the program.

1) The document discusses the steps of evidence-based practice (EBP) research and searching PubMed effectively to find evidence. It focuses on converting a clinical question into PICO format and using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms to plan and conduct searches.
2) It describes building search strategies in PubMed by identifying keywords from the PICO elements and finding corresponding MeSH terms to strengthen searches. Filters can then be applied to refine results.
3) Researchers are instructed to critically appraise search results by assessing the validity, results, and clinical applicability of studies to determine if evidence answers the original clinical question.
The document discusses evidence-based health services management and provides guidance on conducting literature searches to inform management decisions.

Future releases will add enhanced analytics and attribution models to help organizations scale the system over time.
Impact Of a Clinical Decision Support Tool on Asthma Patients with Current As...Yiscah Bracha
The document summarizes research on the effect of computerized decision support (CDS) on the percentage of asthma patients with asthma action plans. The research found:
1) Implementation of a CDS tool at clinics led to increases in the percentage of pediatric patients with current asthma action plans, especially at clinics that previously lacked paper templates.
2) For adults, clinics that emphasized asthma action plans and had physicians start using the CDS tool saw increases, while clinics without paper templates saw physicians begin using the tool.
3) Statistical analysis showed the CDS tool had an initial positive effect at one pediatric clinic that oscillated over time, while having no significant effect at other clinics, possibly due to pre-existing tendencies of physicians to
The document discusses different methods for querying patients about their race and ethnicity in a respectful and effective way. It tested various question orderings and response options at a hospital. Asking about Hispanic ethnicity first and then race with OMB categories worked best for US-born patients and Hispanic patients. An open-ended question about ethnicity worked better for foreign-born non-Hispanic patients. The document proposes a two-question method asking first how others perceive the patient's race and second how they self-identify.
Reasons for Disparities in Health and HealthCareYiscah Bracha
This document discusses population health disparities in the United States. It defines disparity and discusses how populations are differentiated by factors like race, ethnicity, income level, and geographic area. It provides examples of population health measures and measures of access to care. Research shows that low-income and minority populations in the US have lower measures of health, access to care, and quality of medical care. The document discusses various social, cultural, environmental, healthcare, and individual reasons for these disparities and outlines upstream, midstream, and downstream interventions to address them.
Race and Ethnicity Data During Different WorkflowsYiscah Bracha
This document discusses obtaining patient social identity data during clinical workflows in a respectful and efficient manner. It considers who should ask patients for this information, when it should be requested during a clinical encounter, and what system constraints like electronic records affect these decisions. Issues addressed include training staff to collect this data, reviewing data quality, and ensuring data obtained can be extracted and transformed to meet reporting requirements while respecting patients.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
