New Technology to Enhance Patient Outcomes and Organizational Effectiveness

The introduction of the EHR system will aim to improve patient health outcomes by providing patient-centered, safe, and quality care. Improved patient satisfaction and reduced readmission rates will lead to the improved social, financial, and economic standing of Vila Health. 

Goals of the Plan

The SMART (Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) goals of the plan include the following:

• After 30 days of implementing the EHR system (time-bound), there will be a decline in medication error rate and 30-day readmission rates of patients (specific, measurable). 
• The quality and safety of the care provided to the patients will increase (achievable, relevant) due to the inbuilt warning and alarm system in the EHR system. It will prevent adverse events and near-miss events (specific, measurable). 
• The patient satisfaction rate will increase (achievable) as cost-effective, patient-centered, and safe healthcare services will be provided (specific, measurable).

Capabilities of Technology

EHR system is significantly capable of addressing the critical outcomes of the agenda. The system can provide quality and safe care based on the inbuilt updated Artificial Intelligence system that aims to assess and evaluate the type of interaction just by analyzing the patient’s medical history and present condition/ prescribed drugs. The EHR system can analyze the data trends and predict the healthcare disparities in the patient population. Along with this, the alarm system is sensitive to adverse events or emergencies which may occur. Thus, it can prevent harm to the patient by initiating a series of warnings alerting the healthcare providers. This way, the technology aims to increase the quality and safety that is offered to the patients (Adane et al., 2019). 

Criteria for Evaluating Organizational Effectiveness 

The PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) cycle can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the EHR system in the organization. The data can be analyzed through the EHR system to assess and evaluate the reduction in medication errors, adverse events, near-miss events, patient readmission rates, and a decrease in the mortality and morbidity rates of the patients. The data will indicate the EHR system’s effectiveness, the healthcare providers’ ability to use the technology effectively, integrate healthcare services with it, and the health benefits provided to the patients. If data deviates from the expected results, changes will be made to improve the effectiveness of the EHR system. It aims to improve organizational effectiveness by making the EHR system easy for healthcare providers (McNicholas et al., 2019).
