Week 3 discussion Discussion Prompt 1 You are the NI assigned to manage the implementation of an EHR. Discuss the common short- and long-term goals you will include in your plan. What are some of the approaches that can be used to coordinate care during an incremental go-live as patients are transferred from units that have gone live to units still waiting to go live? Discussion Prompt 2 Discuss the reasons why some institutions experience significantly more satisfaction or dissatisfaction during an implementation than do others. Describe why script testing is important to the EHR adoption process.
Care coordination is “the deliberate organization of patient care activities between two or more participants involved in a patient’s care to facilitate the appropriate delivery of health care services.” In this definition, all providers working with a particular patient share important clinical information and have clear, shared expectations about their roles. Equally important, they work together to keep patients and their families informed and to ensure that effective referrals and transitions take place.
“Reducing Care Fragmentation: A Toolkit for Coordinating Care” was designed for clinics, practices, and health systems focused on improving care coordination by transforming the way they manage patient referrals and transitions. Providing coordinated care is an essential feature of any patient-centered medical home (PCMH)— and one that can be challenging to implement. This toolkit was created to make it easier.Care coordination is “the deliberate organization of patient care activities between two or more participants involved in a patient’s care to facilitate the appropriate delivery of health care services.”
