Healthcare Value Through Technology Deployment:
Your organization is going to make a major investment of both capital and resources to implement a Clinical Informatics Enterprise Systems, including the Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) application. This is a significant milestone in your organization’s clinical strategy and has a real live impact on patient care and financial performance. The investment must be successful in its implementation and show value while achieving benefit realization. How do you define Value? Is it a live system that came up within budget and scope? Is it technology that is being utilized by a high percent of clinicians and departments? Is it more global as defined to improve patient outcomes? Or is it something that gets checked off as another IT task? At 3DCI, we believe value is based not in departmental corridors but across an entire enterprise. Value is defined as:
♦ Bringing the system up on time and within budget
♦ Making it useful so that physicians and clinicians are satisfied and utilize the latest technology, and
♦ Patient outcomes and satisfaction are improved as clinicians are working more effectively and shorten clinical Process times.
All of these makes the organization realize its full potential, including financial reimbursement and improvements.
Our System Services: Advanced clinical system technology Implementations are usually
viewed as IT projects and are always fraught with land mines and risk. Lack of appropriate resources, delays in decision making, development of processes that don’t quite work, and the challenges with system usage are just a couple of critical pitfalls. How do you avoid these and others? 3DCI, believes that successful implementations require four critical components:
♦ Right Technology: does the technology meet or exceed the organization’s requirements for its business and clinical objectives?
♦ Right Resources: does the project team have the appropriate skills, experience and management to be successful?
♦ Right Methods: does the project have tried–and–true methods, approaches and tools that allow the team to leverage these assets vs. creating new?
♦ Right Culture: does the organization have a culture that is ready for change and can it adopt/embrace the new technology so that true value is realized?
Our approach is unique: in the healthcare industry in that we believe that technology implementations are much more than just technical projects. We believe that an organization must address the business problem – how to get the technology deployed so that Clinicians(physicians,nurses,pharmacist) and management use the Epic Suite of products to meet the defined organizational objectives. Critical to this is extensive planning and innovative thought in order to establish the bench marks and processes to be successful. Our approach is delivered in two phases:
♦ Solution Planning
♦ Solution Deployment
Approach and Timing
Our Implementation Plan consists of a 5 step approach with the objective to define the actual project scope, engage all stakeholders (including clinicians) immediately, identify all necessary project management processes, identify the project total cost of ownership, set realistic staffing levels and develop the value/benefits that the organization will be measured against:
Our Deployment approach may not appear different from other consulting firms, but 3DCI believes that there are several key components that are critical to any implementation success. Incorporated throughout our approach is the evaluation of an organization’s aptitude for change and adoption of technology.
In addition, is the evaluation on the development and usage of clinical content (i.e. order sets) by an organization. These two components drive success or failure of any implementation and are highly complex, interdisciplinary processes that require skilled clinicians, knowledgeable project managers, and a sophisticated project director to orchestrate the tasks and activities. With these critical components as the main stays of any Deployment, our clients are able to achieve their
return on technology investments and show real value to their organizations.
Our Deployment Approach
With the planning foundation laid in the Implementation Planning Phase,
Deployment becomes a step by step execution of the project charter.
The Deployment approach:
- Post Go- Live Optimization
3DCI is a professional services organization that partners with Other Health Care Organizations to maximize the return on their investments in major technology systems. ACI focuses on bridging the gap between the highly technical world of information systems development and the deployment of real‐world applications that are user acceptable in clinical care settings. In addition to Deployment expertise, we have in‐depth knowledge and experience in Clinician Adoption, Program Management Office (PMO) development, Strategic IT planning, process/workflow redesign, benefit realization and project management.
