The U.S

There is little guidance in the literature on how health information technology (HIT) interfaces should be designed to inform clinicians of data availability. As the industry focuses on interoperability between systems and devices, and as more HIT products aggregate data from external sources, it becomes increasingly critical to identify methods to alert clinicians of the availability of data without negatively impacting clinician workflow or contributing to alert fatigue. This paper reports on a case study of a usability study done on the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) Joint Legacy Viewer (JLV) to provide guidance to developers on communication of connection errors and interface status. The issue, process to explore the issue, and findings are discussed. As publicly developed software, the efforts behind VA’s JLV design choices and images of design solutions can be shared to further the field’s understanding.

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.

Strategic Implementation

This chapter presents a case study highlighting development of a Web-based wiki-driven collaboration portal that is being used by a distributed group of community health organizations engaged in developing a strategic implementation plan for health information technology (HIT) at the point of care. The transdisciplinary approach to software development incorporates the perspectives, skill-set, and interests of a diverse group of stakeholders, including staff from the community health organizations, academic researchers, and software developers. The case study describes a select set of the challenges and strategies that have emerged in the planning and development process, including issues surrounding communication, training and development, and infrastructure. Prospects for future development are also explored.
