EMR and Enterprise Transformation

• Implementation of an EMR starts with the planning
  and a meticulous execution.
• While, every Hospital has its uniqueness in terms
  of a business process, there are a few standard
  issues that always need to be factored to ensure
  a successful implementation.
• The techniques used in planning should bear in
  mind the impact that they could have on
  operational, clinical and financial excellence of
  the hospital enterprise.
• The goal of the EMR implementation is to maximize
  the efficiency and minimize the cost of the
  implementation.

Sizing the Team

• Size the team
• the luxury of a large team is worth the comfort
• Ownership
• YES , its all about you and you are the center of
  the universe .but remember the universe is an
  integrated entity and coexists in harmony

Process is key to EMR

• Process Specialists
• HR enablers
• Is your role changing and can you handle it?
• Its just change GET OVER IT

Process is key to EMR

• Check for downstream impact
• DONOT design in silos
• Remember this is an enterprise system not a
  departmental system
• Understand the current process
• It will educate you on why something was done the
  way it is
• Its not to justify but to educate on how to
  meander through the change
