Problem: Bright Road is currently operating with an outdated EHR system. Issues include: a lack of accessibility of patient information from the main clinic's sister facilities, clinical staff are facing double workloads by reentering patient information from paper into the HER, administration continues to use manual entry of information that is tedious and lacks intuitiveness, creating more work for the department's employees. Healthcare leaders must ensure proper communication channels from seeking input to evaluating the implemented system. This means open lines of communication must be created so that issues discovered can be reported and corrected.
1. Describe strategies for open communication with staff.
2. Describe how you would gather staff input critical to the success of implementing this new system.
3. Describe how these findings can benefit future HIT implementation projects
