ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Adoption. Answer: refers to the state of EHR where every
intended user is using the basic functionality of the
system. Frequently adoption requires a period of
acclimation where users need time to work through
how they are going to use the system and what further
configuration may be desired. Adoption may also
require retraining, (further) redesign of workflows
and processes, reinforcement (of changes), and even
a system of rewards. Unfortunately, some users may
never reach full adoption, in which case counseling,
workarounds, sanctions, terminating employment, or
other strategies may be necessary to achieve the results
needed by all.
⩥ Optimization. Answer: includes activities that extend use of
EHRs beyond the basic functionality. Optimization
includes changes in the clinical practice of medicine.
,Such a profound change often is referred to as a clinical
transformation (Pryor 2006). For example, if a
physician has always prescribed a certain medication
for a given condition, the physician who has optimized
use of the EHR will follow evidence-based medicine
guidelines in selecting the appropriate medication.
Optimization often leads to acquisition of additional
technology, such as more sophisticated CDS, different
input devices, medical device integration, data analytics,
or additional applications as they become available
on the market. It could be said that optimization is an
ongoing state.The process of thoroughly reviewing the health record to
