Work on the EHR project is progressing. Dr. D and Tom Oakes, with assistance from Michelle and I are working on template customization. This is where we create screens in the EHR to make the EHR flow more in tune with our redesigned processes.
Dr. D., Sarah Dworak, Jeremy and I have also been working on our data preload processes and have been testing instructions and how long it takes to enter a chart into the EHR. This is going well. The financial counselors are using scanners at their desks to scan pay stubs rather than make copies. This is exciting as they are now as close to a paperless system as any area in the building.
Jeremy has completed collecting fingerprints from all of the nurses and providers and is rolling out the tablets through the end of November. He is working on setting up four days in December for a "tablet petting zoo" where people can come, ask questions, and play with the tablets.
Last but not least, our official go live is in May 2009. I know that we have had some other go live dates but this is the one we are sticking with.
I bet you thought this was a wellness challenge update. Ha ha, made you read an EHR update. I will post the wellness scores tomorrow.
