Abstract:
Significant challenges surround CPOE systems in community hospital. Our strategies focused on key physicians, representing a majority of inpatient activity, targeting them with specific support to maximize their readiness and understanding of the upcoming change environment. Key among these was assigning to meet all their educational, technical and support needs. A broad enterprise-wide physician steering group was involved with all physician design decisions and charged with aggressively communicating these decisions. We believe our success to date is directly attributable to the early and aggressive use of such engagement strategies.
