Benchmark – Electronic Health Record Implementation Paper

One way informatics can be especially valuable is in capturing data to inspire improvements and quality change in practice. The Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) collects data related to adverse events and safety concerns. If you are working within a practice setting to implement a new
electronic health record (EHR) system, this is just one of the many considerations your team would need to plan for during the rollout process.
In a paper of 1,600 words, discuss the following:

  1. Consider an opportunity for tracking care improvement. What key information would be needed in the database? Example: Time lapse from medication
    order documented in the EHR to delivery of medication to the patient for the cardiology service.
  2. Describe the role informatics plays in the ability to capture this data. What type of project management strategies and methodologies can be implemented
    to support informatics initiatives to help improve quality within the clinical practice?
  3. Discuss which systems and staff members would need to be involved in the design and implementation process. What is the role of the advanced
    registered nurse in promoting evidence-based practice and leading quality and performance improvement initiatives within this setting?
  4. Outline strategies for implementing the new EHR proposal. Consider communication changes, transitioning to the new EHR, and managing resources
    (human, fiscal, and health care resources).
  5. Discuss what professional, ethical, and regulatory standards must be incorporated into the design and implementation of the system.
  6. Describe the measures and steps you would take to evaluate the success of the EHR implementation from a staff, setting, and patient perspective to
    measure effectiveness and ensure continuous quality improvement in practice?
  7. Explain what leadership skills and theories would be needed to facilitate collaboration with the interprofessional team and provide evidence-based, patientcentered care?
