Insight Into

This chapter introduces a multi-level, multi-dimensional meta-framework for successful implementations of EHR in healthcare organizations. Existing implementation frameworks do not explain many features experienced and reported by implementers and have not helped to make health information technology implementation any more successful. To close this gap, we have developed an EHR implementation framework that integrates multiple conceptual frameworks in an overarching, yet pragmatic meta-framework to explain factors which lead to successful EHR implementation, in order to provide more quantitative insight into EHR implementations. Our meta-framework captures the dynamic nature of an EHR implementation through their function, interactivity with other factors and phases, and iterative nature.

ABSTRACT Introduction The Military Health System (MHS) overhauled its previous Electronic Health Records (EHRs) system. The MHS is in need of modernizing its healthcare system to improve patient safety and coordination of care between the MHS and Veterans Affairs. In 2015, the DoD awarded Cerner, Leidos, and Accenture a $4.3 billion EHR contract for a commercialized off-the-shelf system model to be used by more than 146,000 end users. This exploratory case study looked to access socio-technical barriers and facilitators to EHR implementation specifically in the military. Materials and Methods A document review served as the data source: implementation plans, evaluation reports, congressional reports, news articles, and relevant peer-reviewed literature. A series of a priori codes were developed, and emergent codes arose out of the thematic analysis process. Results There were several constructs that emerged from the analysis, placing emphasis on the uniqueness of EHR implementation in the MHS. The constructs of people, communication, and hardware and technical factors were strongly tied to EHR implementation. Additionally, medical readiness was identified in the analysis as a unique factor specific to the EHR implementation in the MHS. Conclusion This research identified three strategic recommendations for the MHS to consider: hire clinical informaticists, parallel EHR implementation, and enhance EHR training. This research also informed a Socio-Technical Leadership Framework for EHR Implementation to guide MHS leaders during health information technology implementation. Although significant health information technology changes may occur only once every few years, having issues during implementation impacts mission success, overall threatening the vital role that the MHS provides to national defense.
