Use these 5 steps on your quality care journey. “These accomplishments are huge for us, especially in the midst of a financial struggle,” says CIO and Vice President of I.T. Jebashini Jesurasa. Although limited resources may have extended their journey, the 350-bed teaching hospital recently received $4.9 million in stimulus funds for their successful attestation. Below, we trace Wyckoff Heights’ journey to Stage 6 and Meaningful Use, including recommendations for other hospitals that are following their lead. 1.)

One of the most important benefits of MUSE membership is your access to similar facilities (Client Server, Magic and 6.0) that are embarking on the same journeys. The MUSE 500 Club is a networking group specifically designed for hospitals or health systems that have an operational bed-count of more than 400 (500 Club sounds better than 400 Club!). One of the easiest ways to solve unique issues is to be able to work together with sites of similar size and complexity, which are all willing to share and maintain data.

The idea of being acquired by a health system — especially one as large as Sentara Health — can be daunting for a CIO. But Mike Rozmus viewed it as an opportunity to work closely with Sentara CIO Bert Reece and to try to emulate some of the success the 11-hospital organization has had in its advanced use of IT. In fact, since the merger last year, Rozmus has already incorporated one of Sentara’s best practices by leveraging physician advisory groups to get buy-in on projects. In this interview, Rozmus talks about other changes he has made since the acquisition, what he’s doing to bridge the inpatient and practice environments, the lessons he’s learned being a Meditech 5.6 beta site, and the challenges of dealing with a heavy workload.

A 54-year old female presents with acute upper left quadrant abdominal pain, radiating to her back and is worse immediately after eating. Initial physical examination reveals the patient has a fever, low blood pressure, rapid heart and has been nauseated for 12 hours. The patient has been on a tapering dose of prednisone over the last two weeks for treatment of asthma. What kind of clinical decision support can you offer the doctor who will perform CPOE for this patient? In the past, perhaps a link to a website with reference materials, but physicians have told us that trying to do research during CPOE is too time-consuming to be of any real use. Now we spend lots of time building standard order sets that are certainly a big step above online reference materials. But wouldn’t it be nice to present a doctor with an evidence-based order set that’s generated real-time and takes into account a patient’s actual circumstances? For example, an order set that considers the patient’s:
If you’re an Old Faithful MAGIC User, you may be happy to hear that Iatric Systems’ latest development, Clinical Decision Support Services (CDSS), does just that. It presents your physician with an order set that takes into consideration the patient’s actual problems, diagnoses, medications, clinical results and demographics. CDSS is a new feature of OrderEase, a CPOE solution that was designed by physicians to fit their workflow. Together, OrderEase and CDSS help physicians practice evidence-based medicine and provide quality care to patients in less time. So, clinical decision support during CPOE isn’t just a dream; with OrderEase and CDSS, it’s a reality today. OrderEase with CDSS is currently available only to Old Faithful MAGIC Users. If you would like to learn more about CPOE with evidence-based clinical decision support or see OrderEase with CDSS in action, please join us via webcast demonstration at 2:00pm Eastern on Thursday 5/3, Thursday 5/10 or Tuesday 5/15/2012.

Many healthcare CIOs have argued for ages that Meditech’s large market-share has caused them to be a bit less than responsive to customer needs and somewhat rigid in their delivery of service, along with being more focused on their internal business drivers than their customer’s desires. I must admit to having been one of those CIOs, but a recent meeting with Meditech senior leadership has given me much cause for hope. And it seems that Meditech may truly be more interested in their customers than they have previously exhibited — at least from my perspective. Read more at healthsystemCIO.com.

I just wrapped up my first session of the new Clinical Leadership Preparedness Program (CLPP) this week. We had a great group and I’m looking forward to next month’s class! The Clinical Project Leadership Program is a new educational series to prepare healthcare organizations for an upcoming MEDITECH Advanced Clinical System (ACS) implementation. I developed this program exclusively for the clinical executive team, to provide the tools necessary to successfully implement an ACS and lead change in your organization.
