Preparing for an EHR System
How does a Health Service start?
An EHR is a journey, not a destination
![Page 9: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

HOW?
![Page 19: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
HOW will you achieve this?
Think BIG …. Start Small
![Page 20: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
HOW will you achieve this?
What is available?• Scanning• Direct entry• Voice recognition• Archiving systems• e-Pens• In house or Out house
How will these support your WHAT & WHY?
![Page 21: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
HOW will you achieve this?
How will you get your chosen product to work?• Working party & steering committee of stakeholders:
- IT- HIMS- Clinicians- Project Team – Ownership and direction- Vendor
What are the expectations of your stakeholders?• Are they aligned, realistic and achievable?
![Page 22: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
HOW will you achieve this?
Process Redesign• Challenge everything you know about medical records management
Implementing into an existing site• Managing the dual world between paper and scanned records• Individual sites – transition “hump” but it is manageable• Networked records – messy and resource intensive
![Page 23: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
HOW will you achieve this?
How do we do it?• Ensure chosen solution reflects the look of the paper record
- Minimise the impact in the hospital- Consider containing the change to HIS for a short time- Scan on discharge- Decrease reliance on past paper history- Centralised and decentralised scanning areas
![Page 24: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
HOW will you achieve this?
Forms – Top Priority
• Forms inventory – Which stay and which go?
• Forms register – Standardise across your service
• Barcode all forms – Document mapping file
• Control forms in one central location
![Page 25: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Activity Two
• Medical Record Sample
• Analysis of Content
• Comparison with Scanned Record
![Page 26: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Activity Two
![Page 27: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Backscanning is a dirty word!
• Consider the pros and cons
• All or nothing or segmented approach?
• Pick a start date – “old” records then become static
• Consider impact on throughput of current records
• What is to be gained – what are current recall rates?

![Page 46: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
WHAT IF…?
![Page 47: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
WHAT IF….?
The most important question a Project Manager must ask hundreds of times each day is
WHAT IF…?
• Clinicians / stakeholders don’t buy in?
• The Unions get involved?
• The system goes down?
• You have poor organisational support?
Also need to confirm your state’s legal position on EHR
![Page 48: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The Project Life Cycle
EHR is in reality a project portfolio that is a
collection of projects that must be
co-managed simultaneously
DEFINE the Project
PLAN the Project
IMPLEMENT
MONITOR ADJUST
EVALUATE
CELEBRATE
![Page 49: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Laws of Project Management
No major project is ever installed on time, within budget and with the same staff that started it. Yours will not be the first.
When things are going well, something will go wrong. When things can’t get any worse, they will. When things appear to be going better you have overlooked something.
Project teams detest project reporting because it so vividly manifests the lack of progress.
A carelessly planned project will take three times longer to complete than expected. A carefully planned project will take only twice as long.
![Page 50: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Key Project Features
• Assess the EnvironmentWho are the key players, who has the power and impact?
• Identify the goals of the key players What are their professional goals or hidden agendas?
• Know yourself What are your own strengths and weaknesses? How are
you perceived by others?
• Define the problems What are all the relevant facts? What is the real situation?
![Page 51: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Key Project Features
• Develop solutions that work Avoid premature solutions that don’t consider the previous
four points
• Test and refine the solutionsInitial solutions are rough, they need testing and refining.
• Political Reality A solution that does not take political realities into account is
superficial and naïve.
• Failing to plan is planning to fail
![Page 52: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The Five Keys to Project Success
1. Don’t be an accidental Manager Project management is a discipline, understand the
process to achieve the goal.
2. Get it right the first timeDoing things right requires time and effort but it is much more expensive to do it again later.
3. Anticipate inevitable problems Conflict and problems are built into the concepts of
projects, plan ahead to improve your ability to cope.
![Page 53: PREPARING FOR AN EHR SYSTEM Carol Sainsbery Project Director Leanne Cox Medical Records Manager](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649d895503460f94a6f143/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
The Five Keys to Project Success
4. Dig deep to find the real solutionNever accept a project at face value, you must go beneath the surface to discover the real project objective.
5. Be flexibleProjects are full of surprises, an overly rigid system is bound to fail.
