  30. Implementation Sample Schedule

  31. Implementation Sample Schedule

  32. Document Plans • Assess risk and effects of initial changes in productivity • Develop contingency plan • Provide area office with a copy of implementation plan

  33. Productivity Expectations • 50% of EHR users felt that they experienced a decrease in productivity after using EHR. • Only 2 users felt that they were unable to see as many patients in a day as they could previously. • Members of the medical staff report seeing about 16-20 patients per day depending upon the clinic they are working in. • One respondent pointed out that they see the same number of patients each day, but must spend an additional hour to do so.

  34. Productivity Long Term Short Term

  35. Our Ambulatory Clinic’s caseload has steadily increase over the past 2 years.

  36. Most of this growth is concentrated in our largest / busiest clinics- hitting record high volumes on EHR.

  37. EHR EHR EHR EHR EHR

  38. What Happens to Clinics When They Get On the EHR ??? It appears that clinics experience a drop in productivity for 1-3 months and then experience a rebound in productivity. Usually the clinics return to volumes above pre-EHR volumes.

  39. Optometry, Pediatrics and Physical Therapy seeing more patients on EHR. Podiatry experiencing decreased demand. Internal Medicine just starting on EHR- experiencing a drop in productivity. OB/Gyn seeing about 10% fewer patients per provider on EHR.

  40. Productivity • Factors that assist EHR users in taking care of patients include: • Medication lists • Historical visit information • POVs • Allergy warnings • Legibility of visit information • Lab history • Graphs • Improved nursing efficiency • Improved patient screening • Quick-orders

  41. Prepare for Installs • Review CAC and User Guides • Coordinate with consultants • Prepare a plan for providing staff with training on new RPMS packages
