EHR Initiative
Project Background
A project to develop a deployment model leveraging the pilot experience was undertaken.
This model is the source material for the rollout of the EHR solution across the
enterprise.
The implementation of the Vitalized Electronic Practice Management (vEPM) solution
was completed in 2008 across all facilities.
Early in 2010 the pilot deployment of the Vitalized Electronic Health Records (vEHR)
solution was completed at three practices.
Project Scope
The enterprise deployment of the HER solutions is being accomplished in three phases.
Each phase is partitioned into three waves. Each wave includes a defined function of the
vEHR software.
The Scope of Phase I, Wave I, is to deploy the ePrescribe module set of the
VitalizedEHRsolution.
Wave II is to deploy Tasking, Orders & Results, and the Provider Approval Queue (PAQ)
modules. Wave II is defined in a separate project plan.
Wave III is to deploy the Point of Care (POC) modules. Wave III is defined in a separate
project plan.
Project Timeline
The project is scheduled to run for 25 days and will culminate with the successful
implementation of the ePrescribe module set in full use at the practice.
The foldout illustrates the timeline and activities required for the endeavor.

6. vEHRePrescribe Initiative
These are the major events associated with the implementation of the ePrescribe module set in the vEHR application. The deployment team will coordinate these activities with
the practice administrator and staff to ensure implementation success.This time pipe in inter-coordinated with the other practices going live at the same time.

The start of the ePrescribe module deployment is July 22, 2010. The second module set is
scheduled to begin three weeks later on August 12th, 2010. The third module set is
scheduled to begin one week later on August 19th, 2010.
Each implementation team (shown is grey numbers to the right of each group) be
responsible for the deployment activities for the same practices, for all module sets. This
leverages a deeper understanding of the specific workflow and operating details of the
practice and its staff. Team one will be responsible for groups one and two. Team two will
be responsible for groups three and four. Team three will be responsible for groups five
and six.
Due to the complexity of the development of templates for the Cardiology practices, they
are placed at the bottom of the second and third module sets to provide for adequate time
for development.

Staff Preparedness
Staff training plan
A training plan has been established to provide for the proper skills assessment and
knowledge transfer to each ePrescribe user. The Practice administrators and office
managers should collaborate to enroll all practice staff in this mandatory training class.
Supplemental tutoring and coaching is available prior to the go-live upon request.
Figure 16 - ePrescribe training plan document
There are three stages of training for the ePrescribe module.
1. Training system setup and access setup
2. Classroom training on the features and functions of the ePrescribe module set
3. One-on-One tutoring and refresher prior to the go-live.
Based on the staff role assignments, each practice employee will be given access to the
training systems. The state of the data base will be reset to a base condition. The
curricula will be distributed electronically and in hard copy. Everybody is encouraged to
visit the site, log in, navigate through the screens and functions, and complete as many
transactions as possible. End of Day transactions should be exercised as well.
The training materials should be studied in advance and questions compiled as the
materials are being reviewed. The FAQ ledger should be studied.
All training will take place in a classroom. For those facilities that are located a
considerable distance from the IT general office, a suitable remote classroom may be
established. The deployment lead or practice administrator will notify you of the location
of the classroom.
Training is mandatory and strict. Please attend all classes you are requested to, and arrive
ready as the start time indicates. Cell phone, pager, and laptops are permissible but all
efforts should be made to keep distributions to a minimum. The knowledge obtained
here is key to the success of the rollout.
The ePrescribe module set is a ½ day (4 hour) class.

Go Live
Day -1
The day prior to the go-live, the deployment team and practice administrator will visit the
practice site for a run through.
The technology will be reviewed to ensure all workstations, printers, and scanners are
performing to specification. The application module set will be exercised to ensure that it
is available to the site. The user community will log in, navigate to the appropriate
ePrescribe screens and functions depending on the users role and access configuration.
A final go, no go decision is required to proceed. If all systems are go, the application
will proceed to go the next day. If there are issues that would prevent a go-live, the
deployment team will review the corrective actions and advise the stakeholders on steps
required to neutralize the obstacle.

Day 0
Command and Control
The on-site team is comprised of the project lead and two application coaches. They will
coordinate all go live activities with the Practice Administrator and Office Manager.
Figure 18 - Command and Control structure
The physician and support staff are pivotal to the success of the implementation of the
ePrescribe module set. In-office operations are the primary focus of the go-live. All staff
will have sign-on identification, password assignments, and permission to access the
required functions within the ePrescribe module set.
The off site team is comprised of the helpdesk as well as key technology contributors -
Desktop support, Local Area Network support, Wide Area Network support, and Data
Center support. To keep corrective time to its bare minimum, the helpdesk will be
instructed to collect issue information and immediately dispatch it to the on-site team
members for resolution.

Day +1
The day after the go live is structured the same as the go-live days from a coverage point
of view. If all goes according to plan on day 0, some of the on-site personal may be
recalled to the IT office.
Response time to issues will remain at its highest level.
Performance monitoring of the technology landscape will be done at the IT office. The
performance of the Local Area Network, Wide Area Network, Application Server(S),
Data Base systems, and storage performance will continue through the go live week.
Statistics on capacity and performance will be review daily to avert user response
problems. Metrics will be provided to the IT and ASP groups to reinforce quality
objectives.
End of Day debriefings will review the day’s transactions, workflow review, and
refinements needed to meet quality objectives. Best practice business process review will
be documented and added to the projects archives.

Week 1
The operations of the ePrescribe module set will continue for the remainder of the week.
Documentation will be compiled to transition the support of the module to the sustaining
support group.
Recommendations on Help Desk knowledge transfer will be documented and review with
Help Desk team members and management. Ticket triaging scripts will be developed and
provided to the call center personal. The information collection and knowledge transfer
documentation will follow the enclosed questioning guidelines.
1. Issue encountered by user.
2. Application the user is running
3. Function the user is running
4. Is the system slow, or not working at all
5. Specific actions being taken (save, exit, tab, enter, etc.)
6. Specific patient or transaction being worked on
7. Specific computer being worked on
8. Specific document being printed or reviewed
9. Is the transaction missing data or contains invalid data
10. Has user tried to perform this function on other computers
11. Have other users experiences this issue
12. When did this issue arise – Has it been misbehaving all day
The formal turnover from the project team to the sustaining support team will close the
project.
The expected service levels of the practice will be documented by the deployment team
and IT management.

Transition to Production
Once the module implementation stabilizes, it is transferred to the sustaining support
teams within the organization, and at the application service provider – Siemens. The
knowledge of how to take helpdesk calls, add new staff, and diagnose operating issues
with the solution is embodied in the Transition To Productions (TTP) documentation.
The sustaining support of the ePrescribe module set is one of many information
technologies utilized at the Practice. The responsibility matrix provides a coverage map
for each component or process.
