    HIT Breakdown 43 - Creating and leveraging a Super User program after Go-Live

    Super User programs are a common piece of the implementation puzzle, but what is their purpose after go-live? Many organizations drop their Super User programs just after their EHR system is implemented. Leveraging your super users post-live can be a significant benefit to long-term behavioral change and system adoption. The key is tailoring the program to your organization’s specific needs and culture. Sarah Rosebrock, Nordic Training Solutions Manager, sits down with Georgianna Kelly, Jerrie Rankin, and Kaitlin Kalina from Baylor Scott & White Health to discuss their system-wide program and how it supports post-live efforts.

    HIT Breakdown 42 - Automating submission of data to registries

    Before COVID-19, healthcare organizations already had an overwhelming amount of work around reporting and quality measures. Add COVID-19, and now you have an even heavier reporting load. Nordic recently introduced a way to automate the submission of data to registries with an application called Registry Direct. We sat down with Scott Rossignol, director of interoperability here at Nordic, to have him explain the solution and the main applications for healthcare organizations. If you want to learn more about Registry Direct, we have a brief overview video available. We'd also enjoy a chance to explore your registry or other data submission needs.

    HIT Breakdown 41 - Rise in telehealth sessions alone won't create great patient experiences

    Given the COVID-19 crisis, many organizations have been abruptly pulled into the world of telehealth and the broader world of virtual care before they were fully prepared. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? You may recall go-lives and how you needed to “just get it live” and worry about optimizing later. This is even more true right now with telehealth. There are many opportunities to optimize and fully harness the power of virtual care. It’s so much more than just the technology that enables the encounter. To explain how we might finish what we started with virtual care, we sat down with Dr. Laura Copeland, who is both chief medical information officer at Healthtech Consultants (a Nordic subsidiary) and a practicing physician. We talked about how her private practice has changed and what changes she still sees necessary to make virtual care truly deliver on its promise. Enjoy the conversation and if you have questions, remember to write us at AskNordic@nordicwi.com or AskHealthtech@healthtech.ca if you are in Canada. Thanks for listening!

    HIT Breakdown 40 - How to avoid the most common pitfalls of an affiliate extension program

    Picture this scenario: It’s Monday morning and you’re driving into work. Cars are typically bumper to bumper at this hour, but not today. Traffic’s flowing so well, you’ll have enough time to stop and get Starbucks before your 8 a.m. meeting. Then, WHAM! You hit a pothole. It came out of nowhere. The next thing you know your car’s making a loud thumping sound. You pull over to the side of the road and, sure enough – you’ve got a flat. To make matters worse, you don’t have a spare tire. In an instant, your morning commute went from smooth to stressful. It’s time to call a tow truck. Oh, and never mind Starbucks, you’re not even going to make it to that 8 a.m. meeting. Wouldn’t it have been nice if you had a little warning about that pothole? A simple road sign or barrier would have helped you avoid a morning of chaos.   Warnings signs are helpful for many scenarios in life – especially as you develop your Affiliate extension strategy.

    HIT Breakdown 39 - How to drive efficiencies between your ERP and EHR in OR and beyond

    Odds are, while you spent the past decade focused on enhancing the critical functions of your EHR, you may have had little time (or money) to spend on your organization’s other important “E” system. Your ERP. Now you’re left trying to reconcile your state-of-the-art EHR with a lack-luster, legacy ERP. Which, in many ways, can be like trying to connect your iPhone with a walkie-talkie. If you want these systems to operate cohesively, it’s time to turn your attention toward updating, upgrading, or replacing your legacy ERP system. And while you may be in the initial phases of planning your ERP update and integration with your EHR, we’re here to tell you it’s worth it. We recently sat down with a few of our performance improvement experts who’ve witnessed these benefits first hand. They just completed a project where they helped an organization enhance its EHR and ERP integration in the perioperative areas. By pinpointing and resolving the EHR/ERP integration issues surrounding the organization’s OR supply chain, the team helped the organization increase time savings and cost reduction – enhancements that have already added millions of dollars to its bottom line. Listen in as our experts make a compelling case for driving functionality between your systems to realize these improvements in the OR and beyond. Also, if your organization is looking to upgrade your ERP system in the future, they outline a few steps you can take right now to make the transition easier in the long-run. If you’d like to discuss this topic further, or if you’re looking for additional advice on your ERP migration strategy, please schedule a give us a call.
