transforming internal communications with a state of-the-art intranet
DESCRIPTION
This Case Study was presented by Henry County Health Center CEO Robb Gardner at National Rural Health Association's Critical Access Conference in October, 2013 then as a webinar for NRHA members in December, 2013. By all accounts, Henry County Health Center is an innovative CAH. Pioneering vision has led to several state, national, and international awards, which include being named a Gold Intranet Innovation Award recipient, 7-time Most Wired Hospital, Top 100 Hospital of Choice, Web Health Award recipient, HFMA MAP Award Winner, and Baldridge Leadership rating recipient. Join CEO Robb Gardner to learn firsthand how their intranet has supported and encouraged innovation. Key improvements include process improvement using their Census Board; Policy, Contract, and Forms Management; electronic Board communication; electronic benefits enrollment; and clinician quick links. During his healthcare career as a clinician and administrator, Robb’s core emphasis has consistently been focused on a patient-centric approach. As the CEO of Henry County Health Center, his role is to remove barriers and provide the necessary tools for associates and providers to succeed in their roles at the health center. Robb has found technology to be essential in achieving these goals. Through the health center’s portal, associates have access to one central location to find the resources they need. This technology is one example of how HCHC has incorporated the philosophies of Baldrige and LEAN to provide more efficient and effective work processes to help meet the needs of associates and medical staff. Robb’s emphasis on quality patient care and process improvement is the foundation to achieving HCHC’s mission, and the health center’s portal plays a significant role in accomplishing this objective.TRANSCRIPT

Clinical Forms Project
A total of 728 forms were submitted. The forms were organized and assignments were made for Print Shop, dept/multi, category, status, and moderator. The category definitions are:
• Consent: Agreement to a course of action. to permit, approve, or comply; agree, as to an expressed wish or a proposed action.
• Form: Documentation of one-time or single data entry. Example: Screenings, Summaries.
• Flowsheet: Documentation of multiple time entries. Example: Vital Signs Sheet,Blood Glucose Monitoring, Code Blue Flowsheet.

Clinical Forms Project
Forms Committee Findings: • Multiple versions of same forms exist. Example: Progress Note. • Inconsistent use of font, style and logos. • Moderator roles (ownership) needed to be established. • Departments submitted forms that were not consistent with current posted Print Shop forms and will need to
compare to the Print Shop to determine status of current posted forms.• Need to get electronic version for paper submissions. Next Steps
• Moderators were assigned for all forms except Consents and forms used in multiple departments with no clear owner. Consents are being reviewed by the CNO and Risk Manager.
• The Forms Committee recommended all forms to be reviewed. HCHC is currently conducting a “Last Call” for forms
• Once all forms have been provided electronically, the forms will be imported and set up in a Forms Management Module. Moderators will be then assigned, and an annual review schedule will be developed.
• The Forms Committee has developed a standard layout. The standard layout will become required for forms as part of their first annual review. The Forms Committee is developing a Forms Policy and Procedure.
