CPOE, Clinical Informatics, and Physician Adoption

Adoption of new technologies used in the delivery of care by physicians, nurses, and other clinicians is critical to successfully achieving an organization’s objectives.

This is true especially in today's healthcare landscape increasingly reliant on electronic medical records to help drive decisions, quality indicators, and adherence to regulatory and patient safety guidelines. While an EMR captures and presents comprehensive data, clinicians must learn how to integrate the use of this technology to help deliver more effective, safe, and evidence-based patient care. To adequately adapt new clinical technology to existing processes, those processes must be evaluated and enhanced to ensure the technology doesn’t overshadow or even negatively impact the delivery of patient care.

Aspen can help you craft and communicate a clinical strategy and future state vision, define an approach for standardization across facilities, define an implementation roadmap, and establish a change management and adoption process and approach. Over 25% of our staff are clinicians. They have implemented governance and decision-making structures, taken multi-disciplinary organizational workgroups through the design of future state process models, developed evidence-based clinical content, deployed complex EMRs using new technology platforms and approaches, and enhanced workflow processes to realize EMR value while maintaining a high level of patient care quality, ensuring stakeholder adoption, and driving technology and clinical informatics maturity.
