Speakers:
Annette L. Valenta, DrPH, Andrew D. Boyd, MD, Department of Biomedical and Health Information Sciences, College of Applied Health Sciences, and the Department of Medical Education, College of Education, University of Illinois at Chicago
Host: Peter Eckart, IPHI
Purpose: The expected outcome is for physicians to have a better
understanding of workflow within their current medical clinic and of what
and where changes will be required for implementation of an electronic
health record. Within the educational material, additional information from
the literature will be provided about paper-based practice styles of medicine
and how physicians with those different styles map to utilization of the
electronic medical record system. The goal is to ease their transition to the
use of electronic medical records and decrease the barriers to successful use
of electronic medical record systems.
Intended Audience: Primary Care Physicians, including Internal Medicine,
Pediatrics, Family Medicine, and Obstetrics and Gynecology
There is not a single EHR available on the market that can be deployed
without changing the communication and practice patterns in a physician's
office. Workflow analysis involves the study and documentation of practice
patterns with the goal of understanding how the EHR will influence
those patterns BEFORE it is implemented. By better understanding and
accommodating workflow modifications, physicians and their office staff
will be better prepared to insure the implementation of an EHR integrates
with work flow to increase office efficiency.
At the end of this webinar, physicians and their office staff will be better
prepared to:
• Initiate an assessment of work flow within your medical clinic.
• Reflect upon and identify changes in workflow to your own practice,
based on your assessment and the published literature.
• Choose from among the documented styles of using EHRs that which
best supports the work force culture of your practice.
