Chapter 19 Case Study Questions
This activity contains 5 questions.
EMR/EHR: Can It Improve Care and Work?
Your hospital implemented an electronic medical record (EMR) six months ago. An
interprofessional task force has been formed including representatives and management
from nursing, medicine, informatics, hospital administration, finance, quality
improvement, admissions, case management, and the policy and procedure committee.
The purpose of the task force is to assess the current status of the project and to determine
interventions that might be needed at this point. A nursing staff survey indicates that 60%
are satisfied, and a physician survey indicates that 48% are satisfied. These percentages
need to increase. CQI reports indicate that documentation is still not complete, the alert
systems are not always effective, staff are keeping backup hard copies with no oversight
on these copies, and there are an insufficient number of computers on some units. The
nursing staff, physicians, and other staff do not feel that they are prepared to use the
system. The “talk” in the hallways is that this project will fail.
