Description
As you implement an HIE as a professional, you will need to consider workflow. After all, the workflow for a given entity impacts the overall change in workflow, as well as employee performance and behavior. Implementing HIE may result in new or improved existing workflows. There may be inefficiencies in health information in different areas within the healthcare organization. The implementation of HIE may improve these inefficiencies or change practices and policies. Non-clinical workflow may also change. For example, privacy policies may need to change. Would additional training be required? Would user roles need to change? In this assignment, you will write a short paper on workflows and their impact on change and employee performance and behavior.
Prompt
For this short paper, address the following questions:
What is a workflow?
How might the implementation of HIE impact current workflow and employee performance?
How will workflow tasks change and/or improve?
How do workflows and HIEs impact organizational change?
How will the process be better streamlined with the implementation of exchange?
How will you analyze and use the data in the HIE network to improve patient outcomes?
What to Submit
Your paper must be submitted as a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and cite any sources used in APA format.
