COLIN HUNG’S FOLLOW UP:
- For both IT and clinical leaders, there are too many projects than resources/time available. You have to prioritize. Using patient experience as a deciding factor can be very effective.
Remember that IT projects have both DIRECT and INDIRECT impact on patient experience. Don’t forget the latter.
- Develop a consistent scorecard/methodology for evaluating Health IT projects and use it determine relative priorities of project.
Healthcare IT, Patient Experience Reference materials:
- The Beryl Institute describes their mission as “Changing healthcare by advancing an unwavering commitment to the human experience.” On this site you will find many resources, from videos to case studies to blogs, you can review to enhance patient experience.
- In one of the webinar’s follow up questions Colin was asked if there is a framework for how IT moves forward on patient experience projects. This is a link to an abstract for “Measuring and improving patient safety through health information technology: The Health IT Safety Framework” from BMJ Journals who publish high-quality content for researchers, clinicians and healthcare professionals.
- Another link Colin promised during the webinar was this health IT evaluation tool kit: Health Information Technology Evaluation Toolkit 2009 Update Prepared for: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
MURRAY IZENWASSER’S FOLLOW UP/TAKEAWAYS:
- IT shouldn’t shy away from being strategic – and pushing through Patient Experience initiatives.
- Patient experience initiative can start either on the business side, or the IT side, but to be most successful it needs to be a true partnership between the two.
Per Murray, The most successful Patient Experience initiatives are those that have looked beyond the initiative, and have an idea of how the information that the project will give can be used to both continuously improve the patient experience, and also help make other patient experience and organizational decisions.
