Where we started Mapping the data flow Focus on outcome indicators Device & usability assessment 18
Agile and responsive development iOS design driving clear, standard documentation Free-text to synoptic Function (Human Factors) vs. flash Multidisciplinary lens – enable the breakdown of care silos 20
Workflow: Before & After Early results: Summary report allows time at end of day to be used for other purposes The problem: Back to back assessments resulted in charting being stockpiled until the end of day ~30 minutes saved per clinician per day! 23
Measuring Success: An Outcomes Approach • Baseline surveys and observations • Post-implementation surveys and observations Improving the ability to monitor and report on: Pre-Surgery Post-Surgery Health Status Time to Care Patient Errors Health Sustainability Patient & Clinician Satisfaction Data Collection & Access Cost Measures 24
