For decades, healthcare has relied on manual distribution of paper-based documentation to manage clinical data for orders, results, health summaries, etc. Transitioning to electronic management of this data involves many strategic and operational considerations. In considering paperless solutions, hospitals and health systems must take into account the impact on existing systems and infrastructure—for both their facilities as well as those of affiliated providers. Any solution must minimize the disruption to existing workflows and processes in order to facilitate a smooth transition. Issues such as patient identity management and formatting differences across providers must also be addressed before creating an automated electronic flow of documentation.
A paperless solution should be easily implemented to enable providers to maintain current operations. It should also position providers to leverage existing systems and staffing workflows to encourage adoption. Another key incentive to reinforce community support is ensuring your paperless solution is certified to assist providers with demonstrating Meaningful Use to qualify for ARRA incentives. Meeting these criteria will ensure the transition to paperless documentation achieves your operational and strategic goals.
