Implementing an EHR system effectively is very important when it comes to major
healthcare facilities. We will be talking today about Healthcare organization Alpha, which
consists of many facilities in one company. For organizations like this we will need to look into
the considerations that should be taken into account when recommending applications to be used
in this EHR.
Organization
Alpha is a healthcare organization that expands into multiple different facilities. This
means they will need a bigger, more complex EHR that will accommodate for the many
specialties they have. The potential aspects that will need to be considered is the broad variety of
facilities and patient to bed ratio. With there being so many facilities and beds they will need
more staff, more equipment and more safety precautions going into the EHR to protect the
patients as well as staff. Based on the information provided, this healthcare organization has a
broad horizon of services they provide. Such as surgery, lab testing, family and internal
medicine, cardiology, neurology, orthopedic and child care. This scope of services will require a
lot of services within the EHR. The key stakeholders in the EHR consists of clinicians,
administration, billing, IT and leaderships. These play critical roles to ensure the system meets
the facilities needs.
