1. Consider an opportunity for tracking perioperative 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. (For example: In the tracking of perioperative nursing improvement, the three main stages are centered around “preoperative preparation – intraoperative cooperation – postoperative recovery”. In these processes, it is mainly necessary to design key information modules in combination with “patient individual differences – nursing intervention implementation – quality evaluation – improvement verification)
2. Describe the role informatics plays in the ability to capture these data. What type of project management strategies and methodologies can be implemented to support informatics initiatives to help improve quality within the perioperative care? (please focus on perioperative care)
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? (Please answer the question based on my role as a Perioperative Nurse Educator.)
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). (Please answer the question based on my role as a Perioperative Nurse Educator.)
5. Discuss what professional, ethical, and regulatory standards must be incorporated into the design and implementation of the system. (For example: Fairness of nursing care, data classification and safety control, and perioperative nursing operation standards, HIPPA…)
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? (Please answer the question based on my role as a Perioperative Nurse Educator.)
7. Explain what leadership skills and theories would be needed to facilitate collaboration with the interprofessional team and provide evidence-based, patient-centered care? (For example: Transformational Leadership – A theory that inspires innovation in nursing teams + Evidence-Based Skills).
The post Informatics can be especially valuable is in capturing data to inspire improvements and quality change in practice. If you are working within a practice setting to implement a NEW electronic health record (EHR) system, what’s your plan? first appeared on Ehomeworker.
