Christiana Care improved nursing admissions by redesigning its electronic health record process. This streamlined documentation, enhanced care coordination, and increased patient satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Informatics
  • Health Information Systems
  • Clinical Process Redesign

Background:

  • Nurses in acute care face challenges including duplicate documentation, complex care coordination rules, and pressure for faster patient discharge.
  • Existing processes often lack a centralized source for patient assessment information, leading to inefficiencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To redesign the nursing admissions process at Christiana Care to address documentation duplication and care coordination challenges.
  • To leverage electronic health record (EHR) capabilities for a more efficient and integrated admissions workflow.

Main Methods:

  • An interdisciplinary team redesigned the nursing admissions process, utilizing EHR clinical documentation, decision support, and workflow tools.
  • Nurses utilized wireless devices for bedside data entry, with decision-support rules automating referrals to ancillary departments.

  • Electronic documentation of interventions by ancillary departments provided closed-loop communication with nursing.

    • Main Results:

    • The redesigned process simplified nursing tasks and improved the appropriateness of referrals to ancillary departments.
    • Over 25% of patients benefited from imported information from previous encounters, reducing duplicate documentation and enhancing patient satisfaction.
    • The new system facilitated the monitoring and support of quality initiatives, including core measures.

    Conclusions:

    • The redesigned nursing admissions process effectively addressed challenges in acute care settings by centralizing information and leveraging EHR technology.
    • Implementation of decision support and closed-loop communication improved efficiency, accuracy, and patient care quality.
