1 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication Lecture c This material (Comp12_Unit7c) was developed by Johns Hopkins University, funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology under Award Number IU24OC000013.

2 HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication Learning Objective ─ Lecture c Describe ways in which HIT design can enhance communication and care coordination. 2 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c

3 Communication Failure A major contributor to adverse events in health care! 3 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c

4 Communication Tools 4 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c

5 Communication Tools Whiteboards 5 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c

6 Communication Tools Whiteboards Manual Single, visible display Data manually entered by identified individuals Must be erased and replaced as data changes Can use color as flags Manually move patient from one location to another Only accessible at a single location Electronic Single, legible, highly visible, user-friendly display Data extracted real-time from interfaced clinical information system Able to key in variable data, such as patient assignments Can use color & symbols as flags Hands-free patient tracking Accessible from anywhere 6 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c

7 Communication Tools “Clipboard” Tools Paper based May be entirely manual or print-out from EHR Single data source Multiple data sources Printouts may require someone to white out or cross out nonessential items Manual forms may entail bundling (organizing pieces of information and taping them together) Both can require annotating 7 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c

8 Communication Tools Clinical Summary Tools Electronic; designed to be viewed online Facilitate communication, discussion, planning Provider–Provider Team–Team Facility–Facility Pull clinical data into one view Vital signs (high, low, most current, ranges) Significant events, problems, allergies, medications Daily goals, progress toward outcomes Other patient-specific information 8 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c

9 Communication Tools Automated Notifications Facilitate human-computer interaction: examples Electronic referral requests (criteria-based) Electronic communication of abnormal diagnostic test results (alert notifications) Prescription transmission (provider-to-pharmacy transmission) through provider order entry Researchers use multiple qualitative methods to analyze tasks Are new error sources introduced by these tools? Maintenance of critical information in longitudinal record with automatic data transfer to latest encounter record Automatic flag and link sent to latest encounter record to indicate presence of patient information in longitudinal record (Hysong, S. J.,2009) 9 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c

10 Communication Tools Hand-Off Notes Provide structured content and process for all types of hand-offs Shift-to-shift Cross-coverage Lunch/break coverage Can pull relevant data to a summary note, and add to-do section for immediate needs. 10 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c

11 Communication Tools Discharge Summaries Provide structured content & process for discharges Electronic summaries can be automatically faxed to post-discharge providers/agencies Discharge worksheets can be designed to populate patient discharge instructions in patient-friendly language, including the new home medication list 11 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c

12 Multidisciplinary Rounds Tools 12 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c

13 Multidisciplinary Rounds Evaluating Usefulness of HIT Tools Look at communication processes Content, frequency Time, noise, & interruptions Assess effectiveness of communication Situation awareness Decisions, goals, needs Assess impact on care processes Frequency of adverse events Variations from clinical pathways Identification of safety risks Follow through on discharge needs (Gurses & Xiao, 2006) 13 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c

14 HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication Summary ─ Lecture b Effective communication is a necessary pre- requisite to improving care coordination Highest risk of ineffective communication occurs during hand-off & transitions of care Health IT can both enhance & hinder effective communication & care coordination HIT professionals are instrumental in implementing information & communication technologies to support interdisciplinary care coordination 14 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture c
