2024/2025
Smart documenta-on forms
Forms that are tailored based on pa-ent data to emphasize data elements
per-nent to the pa-ent's condi-ons and healthcare needs.
Order sets, care plans and protocols
Structured approaches to encourage correct and efficient ordering, promote
evidence-based best prac-ces, and provide different management
recommenda-ons for different pa-ent situa-ons.
Parameter guideline
Algorithms to promote correct entry of orders and documenta-on.
Cri-ques and "immediate warnings"
Alerts that are presented just aHer a user has entered an order, a prescrip-on
or a documenta-on item, to show a poten-al hazard or a recommenda-on for
further informa-on.
Relevant data summaries
A single-pa-ent view that summarizes, organizes and filters a pa-ent's
informa-on to highlight important management issues.
Mul-ple monitors
A display of ac-vity among all pa-ents on a care unit, which helps providers
priori-ze tasks and ensures that important ac-vi-es are not omiMed while
providers are mul-tasking among pa-ents.
Predic-ve and retrospec-ve analy-cs:
,Analy-c methods that combine mul-ple factors using sta-s-cal and ar-ficial
intelligence techniques to provide risk predic-ons, stra-fy pa-ents and
measure progress on broad ini-a-ves.
"Info" buMons
Filtered reference informa-on and knowledge resources within fields or
"buMons" where info is provided to the end user in the context of the current
data display also referred to as metadata, or "data about data".
Expert workup and management advisers
Diagnos-c and expert systems that track and advise a pa-ent workup and
management of the pa-ent based on evidence-based protocols.
Event-triggered alerts
Warnings triggered within the system based on data that alert the clinical user
to a new event occurring asynchronously, such as an abnormal lab result.
Reminders
Time-triggered events within the system reminding the clinical user of a task
needed to be based on predetermined -me within the system.
Clinical transforma-on
Rela-ve to workflow redesign; it is a complete altera-on of the clinical
environment and should be used cau-ously to describe redesign efforts;
transforma-on is defined as "a radical change approach that produces a more
responsive organiza-on that is more capable of performing in unstable and
changing environments that organiza-ons con-nue to be faced with";
- this would imply that the manner in which work is carried out and the
outcomes achieved are completely different from the prior state. Which is not
always true when the change involves implemen-ng technology
- technology can be used to launch or in conjunc-on with a clinical
transforma-on ini-a-ve but the implementa-on of technology alone is not
, considered transforma-onal.
-
Op-miza-on
- when workflow analysis occurs post implementa-on, it is oHen referred to as
________________
- it is the process of moving condi-ons past their current states and into more
efficient and effec-ve methods of performing tasks.
-it is considered to be the act, process, or methodology of making something
(as a design, system or decision) as fully perfect, func-onal, and effec-ve as
possible.
Process Analysis
Breaking down the work process into a sequen-al series of steps that can be
examined and assessed to improve effec-veness and efficiency; explains how
work takes place, gets done, or how it can be done.
Workflow analysis
Observa-on and documenta-on of workflow to beMer understand what is
happening in the current environment and how it can be altered is referred to
as this process.
- it requires careful aMen-on to detail and the ability to moderate group
discussions, organize concepts, and generate solu-ons.
- this is part of every func-onal area the INS engages in.
Process Map
A typical output of workflow analysis is a visual depic-on of the process called
a ______ ________; this provides an excellent tool to iden-fy specific steps in
the workflow analysis process.
- it also provides a vehicle for communica-on and a tool upon which to build
