Once care systems have successfully hurdled the initial EMR implementation, providers begin to objectively assess their EMR systems and identify problem areas that cause daily headaches. HealthBPM can work with your care delivery teams and IT to identify opportunities for improvement. We will then develop a plan to address challenges and create additional value for your patients and providers.
Are your physicians feeling EMR fatigue? Do your patients complain about your EMR system?
We commonly see several reasons why EMR systems get a bad rap and cause frustrations for users.
- EMR implementation was too fast without depth of workflow process requirements
- Inefficiencies between the care delivery process on the floor and the EMR system design
- Highly-skilled physicians and clinicians are required to spend significant time performing administrative tasks
- EMR system built for IT professional and not the care delivery professional
- Physicians working longer, harder hours to ensure document accuracy within the EMR system
- Patients expect ease of use that coincides with the rest of their easy to use applications
