Critique of an article on evidence-based practice in nursing and health care
CTU Health Care Systems operates five clinics that serve a population of almost 2 million people in a vast metropolitan area and handle more than 500,000 patients each year. Now that the main hospital’s electronic health record (EHR) has been successfully established, it’s time to integrate the clinic’s information technology (IT) with the main hospital’s EHR. The health care system implemented an electronic document (ED) and content management (CM) system to handle the imaging, indexing, and storage of selected hard copy documents from active patient paper medical records in preparation for the implementation of an EHR system for the five clinics, so that key documents could be retrieved in the future to support continuity of care needs. However, because the health care system lacked the internal IT and health information services staff resources needed to oversee the hardware and software needed to execute the actual paper conversion process, these components of the project were outsourced.
Consider the following:
What types of information should the health care system obtain from each vendor under consideration as it prepares to select an outsourcing company as its vendor for this project?
What are the advantages of adopting a document imaging and management project before establishing an EHR system for a health care institution?
