“make them use it” is not a valid EMR adoption strategy



"Of course we are all aware that a traditional EMR rollout is a huge financial commitment (thus raising the financial risk considerably, in addition to the operational risk of upending the healthcare organisation for a minimum of two years while the project is implemented). In many cases, those risks are well flagged and whilst typically underestimated, they have at least been given strong consideration. However the biggest risk to such a project is usually one that doesn’t receive much attention – user adoption"

EMR Implementation – Big Bang or Phased Approach?



"One question that we have come across with clients time and time again is “How should we implement an EMR?” This usually refers to whether a hospital should take a Big Bang approach to the implementation of Electronic Medical Records or phase it in over time. One of the largest concerns with hospital management during the implementation of an EMR are..."

Why healthcare integration is like midwifery

Why healthcare integration is like midwifery

Dominic Green - Global Technical Sales Manager UK, Sláinte Healthcare

Two conversations recently made me ponder this question, which, initially, seems a strange comparison to draw. The first was a talk with one of our contacts from Interfaceware, the Canadian company responsible for writing the integration engine we use, Iguana. While still a relatively new name to the UK healthcare IT sector, Iguana is an established name across North America and in a recent US survey, 17.1% of CIOs and CTOs predicted that Iguana would be the market leader over the next 2-5 years. We agreed that at least in part, this was due to the manner in which Iguana doesn’t try to hide the complexity of systems integration behind complicated UIs, trying to allow everything to be accomplished by “drag ‘n’ drop” – a mechanism which inevitably falls short at some point, leaving the integration engineer building the interface needing to write some code. Interfaceware took the view that rather than forcing someone to switch between environments, they would present the user with the tools required to write code quickly and efficiently. In this manner, the skills inherent in building interfaces aren’t lost to a well-meaning but badly executed attempt to simplify a complex, important task.

I had just come off this conversation when I arrived home to meet with the midwife who will be delivering our new baby this summer. She is from a service who provide private midwifery care through the NHS’s 'Any Willing Provider' scheme. Predominantly, they support home birthing. The discussion I walked into was around breech births and what would happen in this situation. The majority of, if not all, maternity units in the UK have a policy that a breech baby, if it can’t be turned, will be delivered by emergency Caesarean section. Undiagnosed breech babies in home birthing situations, however, must be delivered naturally, with the midwife’s skills, knowledge and experience coming to the fore. This, apparently, is a fairly frequent occurrence and not something the midwives of the One2One service are at all perplexed by, but there are now hospital midwives who have never even seen a breech delivery. Managed properly, a breech delivery leaves the mother able to move around almost immediately, with a recovery plan identical to a standard delivery.

Admittedly, this comparison only holds to a point. There are complex reasons that hospitals have the C-section policy. However, the basic point remains; in both areas, vital skills are being lost which, if nurtured and developed, could lead to a better overall service. Instead, though, in many hospitals worldwide, people are being employed in integration without the necessary skills to take two systems and truly make them interact. Sure, they can use a nice UI to do 80% of the work, but edge cases are just as important when considering the sharing of clinical data. The 20% simply can’t be ignored or treated differently. It is my view that recognition of this is one of the main reasons that Iguana is viewed as the future US market leader.
