Clinician Adoption and Governance
As the Electronic Health Record (EHR) goals set forth in the stimulus plan become reality, clinician participation and adoption are essential steps towards a successful implementation. By leveraging the benefits of high-efficiency application solutions, a carefully phased implementation approach can help facilitate acceptance and engage healthcare providers in optimizing system functionality. A disciplined methodology should address critical elements, such as:
- Project management
- Technology requirements
- Change management
- Application training
- Benefit realization
Developing an effective and standardized EHR system also requires a high level of collaboration, planning, and governance. Executive sponsorship and clear levels of accountability are paramount to ensure alignment, build support, overcome obstacles, and achieve success.
The planning must begin early and include several critical success factors, such as:
- Project scope
- Project costs and timelines
- Resource allocation
- Deployment strategy
