Yesterday Hans, Kris, Andrea, Celia, and I went to Denver to visit two community health centers, Metro Community Provider Network and Clinica Campesina. The purpose of the visits was to talk to the leadership teams about their experiences with both redesign and with implementing and EHR. We were also able to take a tour of one clinic site for each of these organizations. The tours are so useful because they give you a chance to see the redesign concepts that you heard them talking about in action. We saw a lot of new and exciting things and also were told to prepare for the amount of work that implementing an EHR represents. Each of these clinics were very generous with their time and we hope to be able to pass that gift on to other clinics in the future who may want to come here to see the great work that our staff does here every day.
On the kind of funny side, I locked my keys in my truck at the airport, left my Ipod in the rental car in Denver, and had to sit next to Hans for both lunch and dinner. All trying experiences but I got through them. They say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
