Current Situation
Accelerated innovation and technological advancements in EHRs, VNAs, and AICAs see new emerging ecosystems and platforms collectively forming to shift the industry from “clinical applications with a data focus” to “platform plays with an outcome focus.” This is notably seen in the next-generation of EHR solutions (EHR 2.0) where workflows and capabilities must be well suited to support new models of care delivery, integrated pathways, and value-based reimbursement. In addition, new use cases are emerging with technologies such as AI, blockchain, and chatbots increasingly having a role to play in delivering better digital patient experiences and personalized medicine.
Goals and Objectives
Shift clinical documentation from a focus on data to outcomes through personalization, integration, and value-based workflows.
Alleviate “by design” current deficiencies in human-machine interaction.
Improve professional satisfaction in data entry, documentation, and workflow.
Reduce work and information overload through intelligent applications of embedded technologies and judicious use of notifications and alerts.
Technology Deployed
EHRs, EHR integrations; VNA; AICA; Cloud-based digital health platforms; Big Data and AI; Blockchain
Use Case Summary
Next-generation clinical documentation combines a range of factors, from appropriate design choices to the embedding of innovative technologies, to the openness of systems and intelligence contained in them to respond to the needs of healthcare providers and positively impact clinical productivity, experiences, care delivery, and outcomes.
