various applications use by healthcare professionals to allow for communicate between pro-
vider to provider and provider to patient ○ The tools are all used to benefit patient outcome
Workflow analysis - ANSWER ○ Not an optional part of clinical implementations, but
rather a necessity for safe patient care fostered by technology. ○ The ultimate goal of work-
flow analysis is not to "pave the cow path," but rather to create a future-state solution that
maximizes the use of technology and eliminates non-value-added activities. ○ Although
many tools and methods can be used to accomplish workflow redesign, the best method is
the one that complements the organization and supports the work of clinicians. ○ needs to
be done as well as working in optimization (moving conditions past their current state into a
more effective method of performing.
