Enterprise Content Management

 Document management systems are used to store and maintain electronic documents or images of paper documents. These systems make it easier for healthcare providers and administrators to access and track patient and organizational data. Enterprise document management is touted as a key part of the effort to create an integrated and comprehensive view of both the patient and the continuum of care.

Making the transition from nursing care plans to evidence-based interdisciplinary plans of care is a challenge in the clinical setting, due in part to limited resources and lack of staff expertise. Coupled with the aggressive implementation of a new electronic health record (EHR), creation and implementation of evidence-based interdisciplinary plans of care seemed like a daunting task. This presentation describes how Akron Children’s Hospital used a boot camp model to successfully create and implement ZynxCare evidence-based interdisciplinary plans of care in less than 6 months. Best practices regarding project team development, boot camp schedules, and communication to hospital leaders and staff will be incorporated in the presentation. The session will also review metrics and outcomes after go-live.

The regulatory environment continues to become more stringent as HIPAA regulations require nearly every healthcare organization to maintain an easily accessible and complete archive of electronically stored information (ESI). Healthcare IT departments are pulled in many directions in order to stay aligned with federal requirements for access control, integrity, and transmission security for patient communications or implementing Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems. Managing communication systems is an unnecessary burden that ultimately distracts IT teams from contributing towards the improvement of patient care. Today, healthcare providers can turn to hosted services to more easily meet the security and privacy requirements for electronic Protected Health Information laid out in the HIPAA Security Rule, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’s HITECH requirements, and other federal regulations.
