Clinical Process Improvement

​

The truth is that while most health systems have now implemented an electronic health record (EHR), a large percentage of organizations have failed to realize the expected benefits from their EHRs. In the new payment paradigm there will be financial winners and losers based on the organization’s ability to succeed in meeting the quadruple aim. Organizational survival is at stake.

Successful organizations focus clinical optimization efforts on high-value areas and implement a process that proactively identifies benefits, plans for their realization, and tracks achievement versus the plan.

​
