EHR adoption in an European environment and public management hospital
Publication . Sousa, C
After 13 years under private management, Hospital Prof. Fernando da Fonseca (HFF) committed to invest a solid EHR strategic approach aligned with best practices, due to management shift as public management hospital within the NHS network. HFF focused on creating a Clinical Commission for information that could support and lead the change on workflow and mindset of the hospital culture. This team combines the knowledge and experience of multidisciplinary roles, designing a EHR model that fully responds to the needs. Thus ensuring a successful phased implementation which started in the emergency department and was then deployed throughout the rest of the hospital. After three years of project, the hospital has achieved a high level (superior to 85%) of EHR adoption and has proven outcomes in the delivery of quality of care and Social ROI (e.g. direct data interoperability with medical emergency before hospital admission, algorithm implementation to improve organ donor and collection, integration with private clinics for outsourcing auxiliary services, including Lab and radiology prescriptions and results/reports). HFF continues to strongly work on this project and are dedicated to implementing their roadmap with the short term aim of achieving HIMSS Stage 6.
