Key checkpoints are vital to ensure success when implementing a new EHR or optimizing your current system. Ensuring that the following have been discussed and agreed upon with key stakeholders is critical for success: – Scope is clearly defined – Timeline is realistic – WHO are your champions – Change impact assessments – Readiness – Training – Activation – Optimization –> Continuous Improvement –> Efficiency Communication is critical at all levels and phases. With consistent, robust, clear communication from the highest levels of your organization, adoption is enhanced, minimizing impacts on patient/family satisfaction, as well as co-worker satisfaction.
