MODULE 03 PROJECT - STRATEGY

SWOT

Strengths	Weaknesses
-secure information sharing -speedy information sharing -provides cloud storage -end to end data encryption	-poor internet connectivity leads to poor service delivery -system breakdown -high cost of implementation
Opportunities	Threats
-Uses mobile applications -emergency contact that increases patient care - Extra costs of staff training, maintenance, and upgrades will be alleviated.	-implementation may compromise normal hospital proceedings. - Hospital operations would be put on hold if the system failed, unless the administration decided to go back to paper records while repairs were being completed.

Based on the results of the SWOT analysis, what should Barbara recommend as an overall strategy? 

As a consequence of the SWOT analysis, Barbara should recommend a system that can effectively and efficiently meet the expectations of the healthcare institution. The ultimate aim is to aim for speedy systems that can process information rapidly while providing high-quality patient care. A high level of functionality is also essential for all of a patient's data to be quickly analyzed, accessible, and saved for future use to be effective. In addition, the system should be easy to use so that the professionals and workers who will be utilizing it will be able to do so with little difficulty. Patients and physicians will enjoy the wide range of features offered by the system and the ease with which they can access their data if the system's developer considers this component. Finally, when the system has been put in place, medical professionals should be trained on how to use the system.

How will the selection of the chosen EHR system contribute to the strategy? Further, explain why it was the best choice. 

eClinical is one of the best choices for this strategy. The ability of the EHR to keep well-structured data is one of how it will assist with planning; it is also quick and has many amazing features. According to expectations, after the EHR system has been configured for the company, it will increase the effectiveness, efficiency, and overall quality of care offered to patients (Kapritsou, 2020). As a result of the system's design, health care practitioners may readily access patient information while simultaneously ensuring that data is kept secure to avoid unauthorized access. By delivering affordable and low-maintenance rates, as well as a low maintenance cost, the e-Clinical will contribute to the reduction of healthcare facility maintenance charges as part of this strategy. Aside from that, the system's extensive set of features makes it easy for patients and physicians to log in and connect via their portals. It is necessary to build a hybrid strategy that allows clinicians to write in a way that best suits their preferences while still capturing the required structured data pieces. Data reporting and exchange requirements are met while increasing physician use. Aside from that, healthcare companies should educate doctors on the advantages of collecting structured data pieces and maintaining flexibility inside an EHR so that progress notes and physician styles may be customized (Bishop, et al., 2019).

On what basis should she develop action items? What should the action items be, as they directly relate to the strategy? 

Making decisions on the action items should be done in line with how important they are to accomplishing the organization's goals are. The organization's mission is to implement an electronic health system that will help improve effectiveness, efficiency, and quality in the delivery of healthcare services. It is necessary to complete the following steps to implement an EHR successfully: the formation of an implementation team; software configuration; identification of hardware requirements; data transfer; workflow optimization; consideration of the room layout; selection of the approach to be used in the system's launch; and, finally, the start of the implementation process.

What should the recommended outcomes and/ or long-term goals be, based on the action items? 

In light of the action items, it is recommended that all medical workers and patients be taught how to utilize the system effectively. The patient must know how they may post their health information online and interact with their medical providers. To avoid service disruption if the system fails, it is advised that the hospital prepare to restore normal operations immediately. Finally, long-term training is required to ensure that everyone has the abilities necessary to communicate with medical practitioners via the internet (Katehakis,et al., 2018). All of these will contribute to enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare provision.
