As the manager of the CTU Health Care Information Systems Department, you recognize that change management is critical to the success of the implementation of the electronic health record (EHR) or electronic medical record (EMR). You also recognize that change management requires cultivating and managing realistic expectations of all of the departments involved when evaluating health records, including federal, state, and ethical guidelines.

• Who are the stakeholders?
• Who are the users?

• In evaluating ethical guidelines of health records, how will you achieve security and confidentiality of patient medical information?
• How will you address low computer literacy levels among physicians and employees?

 

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) formed its no-pay policy based on the growing work of National Quality Forum (NQF) of “never events.” Meaning, CMS will no longer pay for certain conditions that result from what might be termed poor practice or events that should never have occurred while a patient was under the care of a healthcare professional.

• Discuss specific examples of “never events” and their impact in your workplace.
• What issues are you considering for your clinical project and why?
•  Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources.
