Week 1 discussion
Discussion Prompt 1
Review the seven critical success factors for healthcare
initiatives. Choose four of the seven and discuss their effects on the success
of implementing or upgrading an EHR. What might be potential areas of concern
for an EHR that heavily uses third-party services to supply critical clinical
functionality, such as decision support or medical reference links? In what
circumstances might a clinical infrastructure based on either third-party
service providers or mobile applications be desirable? What cautions should we
place on these technologies in the same circumstances?
Discussion Prompt 2
Describe a workflow issue you have encountered in practice
and explain how you could use a gap analysis to plan for change.
