person first health care process- technology integration September 14, 2009 | James Hereford

story line Our story did not start with a vision that was followed by a neat, linear and sequential set of actions that put in place that vision. It started with an idea, that people want something from the health care system that they are not getting. A focus on them as people. Not as a patient, or a number, or a disease, but as people. And the way we met those needs must be integrated. That is core to who we are. We started with the web, and built our web portal. We saw that it could not meet the needs unless we had an EMR, so we implemented EPIC. That created both a problem and an opportunity. The technology wasn’t fully integrated into the care processes of the clinical teams, which led to the work of the medical home. It also created opportunities for new capabilities, so we integrated a health profile into both the web and the emr. This is a story that continues to unfold, but the focus on people and meeting their needs in an integrated way has remained constant.
