Speaker: Rebecca Zapatochny-Rufo
Key Take Away:
Define informatics terminology used in EHR implementation, identify instructional design and training issues that impact end user compliance and learn 3 new 2016 health IT trends to be aware of in clinical practice.
Overview:
As a result of the American Reinvestment & Recovery Act in 2009, the integration of the electronic health record system (EHR) revolutionized the documentation of patient care. The expectations of the EHR were tremendous and promised greater efficiency, accuracy and coordinated care.
Clinical errors, inaccuracies, complex workflows and compliance remain a reality following EHR integration. Although electronic documentation provides a massive repository for rapid communication of vital patient information and viewing of critical data questions remain related to patient safety training.
Electronic documentation is challenging to the legal team's interpretation of the medical record. The legal team may be unaware of many hidden aspects that impact the delivery of safe, quality care. In addition, factors such as workarounds, poor application design, incomplete testing procedures, instructional design barriers and lack of end user training may not be readily apparent to the legal team when reviewing the EHR. Both human and technical components of EHRs remain challenging in the clinical setting. The promise of the EHR being a solution to the complexity of healthcare is certainly challenging for clinicians.
The webinar is designed to assist the legal team with understanding behind the scenes of the EHR impacting patient safety, quality and hospital safety issues.
