This article examines the role that clinical workflow plays in successful implementation and meaningful use of electronic health record (EHR) technology in ambulatory care. The benefits and barriers of implementing EHRs in ambulatory care settings are discussed. The researchers conclude that widespread adoption and meaningful use of EHR technology rely on the successful integration of health information technology (HIT) into clinical workflow. Without successful integration of HIT into clinical workflow, clinicians in today's ambulatory care settings will continue to resist adoption and implementation of EHR technology.
本文探讨了临床工作流程在门诊护理中成功实施和有效使用电子健康记录(EHR)技术所发挥的作用。讨论了在门诊护理环境中实施电子健康记录的益处和障碍。研究人员得出结论,电子健康记录技术的广泛采用和有效使用依赖于将健康信息技术(HIT)成功整合到临床工作流程中。如果不能将健康信息技术成功整合到临床工作流程中,当今门诊护理环境中的临床医生将继续抵制电子健康记录技术的采用和实施。
