Case 5: Planning an EHR Implementation Pg. 606-608

Questions to be used as a basis for your solution or recommendation

  •  What is your assessment of this situation? What are the physician group’s possible reasons for deciding to proceed on an independent path?
  • If you were the CEO, what steps would you take to bring the hospital and physician group IT plans back into alignment? Should the EHR effort proceed or wait until the CPOE initiative is complete? Should you require that both systems come from the same vendor? Explain your rationale.
  • The LWMC board is concerned that the physicians are being naive about the challenges of EHR implementation, have established no measurable goals for the system, and have only weak incentives to make the implementation successful. How would you address these concerns?
