MU: Workflows, Workflows, Workflows – why is everyone talking about workflows?
June 20, 2016
Written by Patty Kosednar
Everyone is talking about workflows because they are a key factor in improving the use of your EHR! How data is being entered into your system affects the downstream functionality and quality reporting from your system. Entering data into the correct fields in your EHR ensures you will get the credit it for it on your MU reports, not to mention it allows the full functionality of your EHR to use the data for clinical guidance, recommendations, alerts and to populate your other quality measure reports (PQRS, UDS, etc).
Where do you start? Look at your meaningful use reports, including your CQMs. Which ones are low performers? Which ones have a huge swing in performance from provider to provider? Which workflows does the staff complain about? These are good places to start investigating. Contact me for help with workflow analysis, mapping and recommendations.
