Discussion Thread: Case Study: The Electronic Health Record and Precision Care Although your facility has a state-of-the art electronic health record (EHR), it lacks specific functionality to address the needs of emergency care. In the interest of patient safety and to integrate activities into the EHR your team has been tasked to explore the following three options: (1) implement and integrate a triage system; (2) incorporate clinical vocabularies in the EHR to support nursing and physician documentation requirements; and (3) implement RFID technology for patient tracking. Discussion Questions: What are the advantages and disadvantages of each option? Which option would you recommend implementing first and why? Your team and the Vice President of Patient Care Services are working together to address the needs of the Emergency Department. Who would you identify as stakeholders in the implementation of each solution and why? What steps would you take to minimize user resistance? The EHR is not fail-proof, and human error is an issue. Discuss potential decision support tools and functionality that could be implemented to increase patient safety.
