This webinar will explore the experiences of safety net providers who have gone live with a health information technology (IT) system in the last 18 months. Even with much preparation, it is difficult to prepare for all the unexpected bumps in the road. Speakers will present lessons learned and provide tips for successfully planning and triaging problems during the first weeks of going live. Topics include:
• The impact on a provider’s clinical and business workflow;
• Making critical changes with your health IT vendor;
• Meeting meaningful use stage 1 functionality; and
• Identifying useful resources and/or training.
Speakers will also provide advice on change management and how to ensure that this period does not affect patient care. The webinar will cover both primary and inpatient care for rural and urban safety net providers. Presenters include:
• Kirby Craft, Chief Information Officer, Magee General Hospital
• Francis Aframgyening, Executive Director, Care Alliance Health Centers
• Lynn Hudson, Consultant, South Carolina Regional Extension Center
