Subsequent to a health care organization acquiring a new information system, is the system implementation process, the third of four stages in the systems development lifecycle. A significant amount of support and dedication is needed from senior executives and should take precedence within the organization. Adequate resources should be available to all individuals involved in the execution of the new system. User training, installing new networks, converting data, new procedures, and various other changes must be properly coordinated to avoid political, cultural and behavioral issues (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2009, Chapter 6, System Acquisition).…
First, we need to select a team, and each team member should carry out their own duties and responsibilities of what is expected of them to do. We all need to determine an overall goal for each person. As a team, we all should determine ways we can make it work, and once we figure it out we can start with the indication of the system. Our health care system grows into new areas daily as well as technology advices so fast; a need for this system is very decisive. We need to come up with the system not only for our own benefits, but also to benefit other organizations as well. Each organization goals is to exceed to Excellency. For example if they served three hundred patients last years or the year before. The goal for this year is to double the amount or even triple it the best way they can (Deng, X 2012).…
Phase implementation on the clinical side of the enterprise. Implementing first within hospital and then moving to external clinics (where paper records were still in use) would allow for the least disruption. The phased implementation allows for tinkering of the product to meet unforeseen needs and will improve buy-in from the powerful hospital staff groups, notably physicians in key clinical areas. Obtaining buy-in is a huge issue with physicians who tend to have a culture of slow adoption and resistance to change. In addition the hospital physicians also had some resentment around the previous implementation of CPOE (which did not go well) so developing early buy-in through the MIDWIG group would aid in successful implementation. In addition, phased implementation allows customization and works well in a decentralized system, allowing individual testing of sub-units before integrating the whole system.…

Thinking back a hundred years ago the history of health care has evolved and has become one of the most demanding fields to work in. The ultimate goal of health care is to treat, prevent or to intervene for those who are ill. Technology is also a major evolution that is now a vital role in the health care system. It allows patients to become more involved with their healthcare. They can follow up on test results, make appointments, and contact their doctors with the progression of technology. Not only has technology evolved but medication is another area that has improved the lives of many, back a hundred years ago the various medication was not…

Geographically defined communities (Rubin, 2008). Many participating communities, however, struggled with securing cost-effective technology, interoperable data sources, stakeholder trust, and strong political support. (Vest & Gamm, 2010) Following the 1999 Institute of Medicine Report, “To Err is Human,” which identified medical errors as a significant threat to the health of Americans that could be addressed, a new generation of federal efforts emerged to address these concerns, in part through the effective use of information technology. These, largely bipartisan, initiatives included the 2004 creation of the ONC within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the administration of President George W. Bush. Also in 2004, the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research (AHRQ) Health Information Technology Portfolio funded $166 million in grants and contracts to improve healthcare decision making, support patient-centered care and to improve quality and safety. (Health Information Technology Portfolio Program Overview) In addition to these federally funded initiatives, HIE developed organically in several markets and academic settings. The most well-known examples are Health Bridge in Cincinnati and the Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE). Another important, but often overlooked, setting for information exchange besides exchange between affiliated providers, is within closed systems such as large integrated delivery networks. (Dullabh, Moiduddin, Nye, & Virost, 2011). As you can see health information exchange is familiar within the government, health…
Managing in a healthcare environment can often be hectic and present many challenges due to a constant change of policies and procedures. In order for any organization to be successful, the organization must identify goals and a plan to reach that goal set. To ensure that the organization is able to work effectively and provide quality care there are several processes available to produce quality care. These processes are strategic planning, performance improvement, and information systems. Each processes feeds directly into the next, when used correctly and simultaneously. These processes can greatly increase the quality of healthcare in an organization.…

In order for an institution to be in violation of Title IX, the school must have authority over the harasser and over the environment in which the harassment took or takes place, its response to harassment is “clearly unreasonable in light of known circumstances,” (Marshal 2014) failing to respond to hostile educational environment, and if the victim can show that the school purposely ignored reported acts of violence and harassment occurring in school programs and activities (Edwards 2015). Noncompliance puts the school at risk of losing federal funding. In the case of before the fact indifference, a school had previous knowledge of an admitted student being a possible threat to other students and does not take the proper steps to ensure other…
In 1990 Hartford Foundation funds, “Community Health Management Information Systems.” They gave grants to seven states and cities to develop those early prototype HIE’s. HIE focuses on quality assessments and cost reduction by streamlining patient eligibility information for billing. The problems of HIE are immature technology including slow internet connections and data integration. By the mid 1990’s Community Health Information Networks focused on cost savings associated with moving data between providers, decentralized architecture to address privacy concerns. Most CHIN’s failed at this. Between 1990-2001 the Institute of Medicine reports on patient safety and quality. In 2005 HIE Networks’ principals Dr. Dan Kaelin and Allen Byington establish the Big Bend Regional Healthcare Information Organization and form a board of directors comprised of industry leaders in the North Florida healthcare field. BBRHIO is awarded $810,375 in grant funding from the Agency for Health Care Administration FHIN Grants Program, plus stakeholders donate over $1 million of in-kind products and services to develop a community health information exchange in 2006. Also in 2006 the BBRHIO board completes an extensive RFP process to find a local-provider-driven HIE solution. The subsequent national vendor search produced no viable off-the-self products and Avocare is contracted to develop customized software for the HIE infrastructure. The following year 2007, BBRHIO launches BigBendHealth.com, a secure website with live data feeds from physicians and hospitals to be used by credentialed health care providers to share patient records and communicate electronically.…
