The IT Hospital will implement 110 evidence-based care plans into their Meditech Electronic Health Record including clinical summaries and links to the original source material. The ZynxCare Online Care Plans have demonstrated efficient documentation, measurable quality improvement, and improved regulatory compliance.
The project objectives after the kick off meeting on February 1, 2011 are to develop a project charter by February 9th. The Project will begin with an assessment of the current hardware systems, to determine if all units can run the ZynxCare software. Once all computers are updated, we will begin the planning on February 10th with an anticipated rollout by February 28th. Over the next three months, the team will coordinate unit based training, mandatory education classes and complete system installment by June 9, 2011. Also throughout this time, project team members will be developing unit based customization and weekly project team meetings. The final report to the stakeholders will be on June 29, 2011.
The ZynxCare project is a multiple department program, with each department dependent on communication and task completion. The IS department will be responsible for reviewing hardware capabilities, installing software, and making requested modifications. The nursing departments will work with the care plan templates to select those that apply toward their patient population and learn how to customize the screens to the individual patients. Nursing will be pivotal in providing feedback on changes to the system to make sure electronic care planning is meeting the needs of their patients and staff.
Some of our milestones along the way…but our main project success criteria will be the software must be thoroughly tested with minimal employee work disruption. Care plan documentation goal will be usage on over 90% of inpatients within six months of project completion date.
We anticipate that a majority of the budget will be allocated in the first two quarters. As we have begun to accomplish a few of the tasks, the actual work hours are reflected in graph.
Funding for the project will require a new financial allocation with the anticipation of improved quality of care and patient satisfaction. Operation and Maintenance are estimated at $210,000 in the first year. This includes the initial software purchase price of $140,000 and the $10,000 annual maintenance contract. The second quarter will begin mandatory staff training during the rollout period.
The project team represents several key departments at IT Hospital. Our approach will be to update network servers, develop detailed cost analysis, request necessary upgrades, begin training super users, nursing, and ancillary staff and conduct pilot test programs on the unit level.
Our CEO as one of the major stakeholder, will be the Project Sponsor and outline recommendations for the plan. There will also be a weekly update meeting in the form of a colorful bulletin presented to show the progress of the plan.
The CFO as another main stakeholder will be allocating the budget and present at the weekly status report meetings. He will also be a part of establishing the business requirements.
The Project Manager will be overseeing all the different aspects of the project with Information Systems, Nursing Education, Stakeholders and Human Resources. One of the main focuses is the communication between departments and keeping track of the system changes. We have an experienced and resourceful workforce that needs to stay on track to complete the system rollout in three months. We will be developing a Blog for the staff to post comments and suggestions. Weekly the Project Manager will create a blog summary to the department managers to present at staff meetings or posted in the nursing common room. We anticipate that suggestions brought up in one area of the hospital will benefit other departments as well.
Our database manager will be reassigned to work exclusively on this project in order to meet the milestones. She will be leading the weekly project team meetings and present the final project presentation.
We will also be assigning a full time analyst to help gather the departmental input and output needs, as well as work with the Nursing departments on setting up the prototype.
ZynxHealth will assign a systems analyst to help create sample screens and make changes based on nursing feedback.
The Director of IT will create the main screen and test database. He will also be part of the stakeholders and attend the weekly meetings.
Human resources will help organize the super users and contribute to the feedback from the different departments. As part of the Project Team, they will support both the information systems and nursing departments.
Nursing Education will be responsible for creating the mandatory class that all nursing staff must attend. They will create an online manual and manage the inquires related to education from the Blog.
We anticipate that within six months the ZynxCare Plan system will be a part of every patient chart within 24 hours of admission. The care plan will reduce the time required to develop customized paper care plans and encourage patients to participate in their plan of care. We will have consistent patient education between departments and shifts. There will also be seamless system integration and frequent updates to evidenced-based practice with online collaboration and links to references. The hospital will also improve regulatory compliance. All departments anticipate success with open communication and the project is within the anticipated budget. Thank you for your interest in our ZynxCare Online Care Plan Program.
