  • Evaluating Success in Epic System Implementation

    874 Words  | 2 Pages

    As the trusted caregivers and patient advocates, nurses can influence patients to learn and use the electronic health information for their health management. ANA supports and encourages nurses to use personal electronic health record to manage and improve their own health. The nurses will then have the first-hand knowledge of the process and able to share such experience with their patients to promote the patients’ involvement in their health management. Nurses can serve as role models for patients and empower them with knowledge about the EMR and its benefits. The more patients know about the EMR, the more likely they will participate in the system and to take an active part in managing their own health. To determine the success of the implemented system with respect to this assumption, the number of enrolled nurses and their patients, who are also enrolled in the MyChart portal, are collected to establish a baseline data (group 1). The number of non-enrolled nurses and their patients who are enrolled in the system are collected as well (group 2). These two sets of data are then compared to the data sets collected over a three-month period to determine whether the nurses’ first-hand experience in the use of EMRs and role modeling help patients to accept and use EMR to improve their health management. If there are more patients enrolled and used the system in the first group than in the second group after the three-month period, then the system is successful in its strive to promote patients’ participation in their healthcare management. The system implementation and the nurse-to-patient education process need to be re-evaluated if the patient number of enrollment in the first group is lower than in the second group at the end of the three-month time

  • Standardized Terminologies: The Lingua Franca of Nursing

    1063 Words  | 3 Pages

    The standardize terminology fosters “better communication among nurse and other health care providers” with improved and enhanced communication of the care being implemented to a particular patient offering quality and consistent care to the patient (Rutherford, 2008). This process of standardize communication “increases visibility of nursing interventions” through exact documentation of what the nurse did for the patient during their shift instead of relying on “word-of-mouth” made at shift change (Rutherford, 2008). This type of verbal documentation of care from one nurse to another makes the work conducted by the nurse invisible if not documented appropriately. Through standardized terminology, documentation is easier and clearer making the work of the nurse known and easily accessed by all persons concerned in the patients care. “Enhanced data collection to evaluate nursing care outcomes” is also achieved through this form of terminology usage as well as “greater adherence to standards of care, and facilitated assessment of nursing competency” (Rutherford,
