Modelling workflow processes for clinical information systems: impact on deci...Phil Gooch
This document summarizes a seminar on modeling clinical workflow processes and their impact on decision support and healthcare outcomes. It defines key concepts like workflows, guidelines, pathways and decision support systems. It reviews evidence that integrating these components into process-oriented systems can improve practitioner performance and the process of care, but more research is needed on their impact on patient outcomes. Challenges include adapting idealized workflows to actual practice and providing dynamic support within collaborative clinical work.
At Phase2, we do things a little differently when it comes to design. While many teams are stuck in the “design first, develop second, theme last” way of doing things, we link our multidisciplinary teams together by a common vehicle: design systems. Each piece of the system, including our prototyping tools, live within the platform, allowing us to integrate processes like creative design, prototyping, front-end methodology, and implementation. We call this “The New Design Workflow.”
This session will feature a panel of Phase2’s most experienced designers and front-end devs for an inside look at our best practices, tips and tricks. Plus, hear us weigh in how Drupal 8 will interface with your favorite front-end tools like PatternLab.

Successful EHR Implementation - Strategy & TipsJames Muir
Implementing an EHR is a complex project that requires extensive planning and involvement from all stakeholders. Key steps include defining goals and metrics, analyzing workflows, selecting an appropriate vendor, and providing comprehensive training for end users. A successful implementation follows best practices such as establishing executive support, implementing in increments, thoroughly testing the system, and providing ongoing support and feedback after going live. Shadowing providers during training and post go-live periods is critical to ensure adoption and maximize benefits of the new EHR system.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

14. Templates = Tools to help create a standardized document
14. THE INGREDIENTS
15. Wikis= Tools to organize information / links for a department
16. Committee Charters = Tools to assign a committee duties and
responsibilities
17. Committee Minutes = Tools to document committee activities
18. Glossary of Terms = Tool to learn organizational definitions for
common terms
19. Budgets = Tools used to plan for future resources
15. THE INGREDIENTS
Standardized templates need to be developed from these archetypes!
Documents need to be built from these standardized templates!
Why is this important?
• Effectiveness of these tools will depend on their clarity!
• Good project planning will depend on good understanding of the
development of these tools!
• Timing of projects will depend on processes used to develop, review, approve,
and publish these tools!
• Good opportunity to streamline governance and development!
16. THE INGREDIENTS
Q : Why are archetypes and documents important in developing
workflows? A : Archetypes Templates Documents Workflows
17. THE INGREDIENTS
Why are archetypes and documents important in developing
workflows? Archetypes Documents Workflows
18. THE INGREDIENTS
Common paper workflow issue : The “Frankenform”
E.g. Part order, part order set, part guideline, part documentation,
part policy, etc.
Creates extra maintenance costs and delays
Often masks workflow issues (The “Frankenflow”)
Symptoms : Unusually long documents / order sets, clunky
workflows, or paper forms that are difficult to “make electronic”
Commonly seen in complex clinical workflows, e.g. Medication
reconciliation, Medication titration, chemotherapy, etc.
Solution : Workflow redesign!
20. THE KITCHEN
The archetype management
• Need to manage centrally, with organizational buy-in, easily accessible to everyone in
the organization
The document management
• Need to manage centrally, with organizational buy-in, easily accessible to everyone in
the organization
The project management
• Need to manage in a standardized fashion, with standardized templates and
organizational buy-in
The staff participation
• Need to identify stakeholders and SMEs effectively, and budget time/resources
properly
• Familiarity comes from working on projects together (to understand roles)
21. THE KITCHEN
The governance
• The stakeholder development, teambuilding, resource allocation, and project
timelines will all depend on the organizational governance
• Tip : This is a good opportunity to streamline governance!
• OLD : Order set committee? Policy committee? Forms Committee?
• NEW : Project prioritization committee, Resource allocation committee, Go-Live
Committee, Project Management Office
23. THE RECIPE
To develop a good recipe, a skilled chef needs good communication :
• What does the customer want? Mac & cheese? Filet mignon? Beef Wellington?
To develop a good project plan, a skilled informaticist also needs good
communication :
What is the goal, and how does the order relate to the goal? Maintenance
request? Change request? Large-scale project? Before deciding, will need to
know regulations, stakeholders, evidence/literature, current state, future
state, cost data
24. THE RECIPE
After thoroughly understanding regulations, goals, needs, and costs -
will need to build a good project plan :
1. PREPARATION
1. Literature / regulatory search
2. Current / Future workflow mapping
3. Project planning, stakeholder development, securing resources
2. DRAFTING (with low-level end-user buy-in)
3. BUILDING (both electronic and paper downtime!)
4. TESTING (Unit, Functional, Integrated, and End-user acceptance)
5. TRAINING
6. DEPLOYMENT
7. MONITORING
26. THE TIME
Set realistic expectations - Important to follow good project planning!
1. PREPARATION :
• Regulatory / Literature Search (including cost data)
• Indexing of needs
• Development of List of Stakeholders
• Development of Project Team
• Mapping of CURRENT state workflows (Hint : See procedures!)
• Development of FUTURE State workflows
• Development of Project Plan and Timelines
• Securing stakeholder buy-in
• Securing time/resources for project
27. THE TIME
2. DRAFTING BLUEPRINTS – Future state workflow(s) with supporting tools
a. Low-level testing with end-users for clinical validation (user acceptance testing)
b. Securing stakeholder buy-in
3. BUILDING :
a. electronic tools and supporting documents
b. paper downtime processes (order sets AND documentation!)
4. TESTING :
a. Unit testing
b. Functional and Integrated Testing
c. End-User Testing
5. SECURING APPROVAL :
a. Governance is important!
28. THE TIME
8. EDUCATION :
a. Adequate education for go-live – What is audience? How much is enough?
b. Big question : Does this need to be added to ongoing educational effort?
(For onboarding of new employees?)
c. FUTURE : Likely 16+ hours of computer training per new employee
9. GO-LIVE :
a. Adequate support? Superusers? Do superusers still have patient assignments?
Other elbow-to-elbow support?
b. List of showstoppers for patient safety?
10. MONITORING :
a. Issues Log
b. Standard way to communicate changes and issues with end-users (2-way
communication)
29. DESSERT
Good meals come from :
• A good chef (Informaticist(s))
• Great ingredients (standards, archetypes, templates, and
documents)
• A good kitchen (archetype management, document
management, project management, project team, effective
governance, and resources)
• A good recipe (identifying stakeholders, current state,
future state, project plan development)
• Adequate time (execution of project plan)
