Key takeaways:
1. Embracing EHR workflows
Electronic health record (EHR) systems typically provide a variety of capabilities for workflow automation. At their best, these capabilities not only promote the efficient completion of tasks, but also transform how work is done, resulting in better outcomes.
2. Personalized documentation templates
Documentation templates for a particular type of presenting problem or procedure are enormously powerful workflow tools. They address one of the most time-consuming clinical tasks – the creation of a provider note for a given patient encounter.
3. Customization of clinical decision support (CDS) features
Point-of-care CDS features include various types of alerts and reminders that appear to clinicians while working in the EHR. CDS alerts compare the patient’s data to some underlying logic that reflects a standard of care, and then present this information to the clinician.
