As the leader of the EHR implementation team for your assigned departments, your first task is to identify the appropriate
people who should be involved in the implementation process and submit this information to the executive team.
For this assignment, you will do the following:
- Identify the appropriate department heads that you would select to be a part of the EHR implementation team, and
- explain what you expect these individuals to do related to the implementation process
Implementation of a health information technology is a large and expensive task. Having a strong and well-rounded implementation team is a great foundation.
For your week 4 discussion board, remember that you are graded on the quality and originality of their posts and responses, not the quantity. You need to identify the appropriate department heads that you would select to be a part of an EHR implementation team. You should also explain what you expect each of these individuals to do in the implementation process.
Students should identify department heads for the EHR implementation committee. Examples include health information management (HIM), information technology (IT), director of nursing, pharmacy, lab, radiology, and so on. Students should also discuss their roles in assisting with the implementation of an EHR system. Answers may vary.
There is an expectation that grammar, spelling, punctuation, and format are correct and professional.
