Clinical Transformation Utilizing Nursing Informatics

Many global and societal powers are

challenging change in health care today.

It is imperative all systems be able to

extract data values that are measurable;

improve quality, enhance services, and

comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach

to redesigning care delivery to achieve

excellence throughout the care continuum.

It brings together people and

management, technology and processes,

leadership and vision to achieve the

outcomes essential to meet government

regulations and Meaningful Use

requirements. This poster will assist you in

understanding these three areas, while

emphasizing the gains and benefits of

completing a successful clinical

transformation to meet the challenges of

change in healthcare today and foster

successful change and performance

improvements for the future.

Major change is dependent on the PEOPLE of the organization and all professional disciplines must be involved

in decision making and clinical transformation.

The people who must be included are the Organizational leaders, the C-Suite, Directors, Managers and assistant

managers .

The support of the people most affected by the potential change such as Physicians, nurses, ancillary staff,

housekeeping, transporters, and / or the volunteers must also be included.

Decisions surrounding the approach to a TECHNOLOGY deployment are a critical foundation for success.

Maintaining a patient focus as information is gathered and used across the healthcare enterprise creates a

system where quality and patient safety are enhanced through a patient-focused approach.

Organizations will need to deploy flexible and usable systems with the ability to easily move information across

functional and organizational boundaries with the objective of enhancing patient care.

PROCESS is often the most misaligned element of an Information technology deployment strategy. “Current

State” must be understood to ensure a clear vision of “Future State.”

Changes must be understood, discussed and refined. Important Process elements include: Effective process

redesign support, transparency related to the work of the organization, using measurements as a core driver for

evaluating results and the acceptance of standards throughout the organization.

This approach requires Discipline, Rigor, Focus and Clarity when it comes to the needed changes, timing and

communication of the changes, and methodology for the changes to occur.
