Smart documentation forms ......ANSWER........forms that are
tailored based on patient data to emphasize data elements
pertinent to the patient's conditions and healthcare needs.
Order sets, care plans and protocols ......ANSWER........Structured
approaches to encourage correct and efficient ordering,
promote evidence-based best practices, and provide different
management recommendations for different patient situations.
Parameter guideline ......ANSWER........algorithms to promote
correct entry of orders and documentation.
Critiques and "immediate warnings" ......ANSWER........Alerts that
are presented just after a user has entered an order, a
prescription or a documentation item, to show a potential hazard
or a recommendation for further information.
Relevant data summaries ......ANSWER........A single-patient view
that summarizes, organizes and filters a patient's information to
highlight important management issues.
Multiple monitors ......ANSWER........a display of activity among
all patients on a care unit, which helps providers prioritize tasks
and ensures that important activities are not omitted while
providers are multitasking among patients.
Predictive and retrospective analytics: ......ANSWER........Analytic
methods that combine multiple factors using statistical and

artificial intelligence techniques to provide risk predictions,
stratify patients and measure progress on broad initiatives.
"Info" buttons ......ANSWER........filtered reference information and
knowledge resources within fields or "buttons" where info is
provided to the end user in the context of the current data
display also referred to as metadata, or "data about data".
Expert workup and management advisers
......ANSWER........Diagnostic and expert systems that track and
advise a patient workup and management of the patient based
on evidence-based protocols.
Event-triggered alerts ......ANSWER........Warnings triggered
within the system based on data that alert the clinical user to a
new event occurring asynchronously, such as an abnormal lab
result.
Reminders ......ANSWER........Time-triggered events within the
system reminding the clinical user of a task needed to be based
on predetermined time within the system.
clinical transformation ......ANSWER........relative to workflow
redesign; it is a complete alteration of the clinical environment
and should be used cautiously to describe redesign efforts;
transformation is defined as "a radical change approach that
produces a more responsive organization that is more capable
of performing in unstable and changing environments that
organizations continue to be faced with";
- this would imply that the manner in which work is carried out
and the outcomes achieved are completely different from the
, Page 3 of 28
prior state. which is not always true when the change involves
implementing technology
- technology can be used to launch or in conjunction with a clinical
transformation initiative but the implementation of technology
alone is not considered transformational.
-
Optimization ......ANSWER........- when workflow analysis occurs
post implementation, it is often referred to as
________________
- it is the process of moving conditions past their current states
and into more efficient and effective methods of performing
tasks.
-it is considered to be the act, process, or methodology of
making something (as a design, system or decision) as fully
perfect, functional, and effective as possible.
Process Analysis ......ANSWER........breaking down the work
process into a sequential series of steps that can be examined
and assessed to improve effectiveness and efficiency; explains
how work takes place, gets done, or how it can be done.
Workflow analysis ......ANSWER........observation and
documentation of workflow to better understand what is
happening in the current environment and how it can be altered
is referred to as this process.
- it requires careful attention to detail and the ability to
moderate group discussions, organize concepts, and generate
solutions.
- this is part of every functional area the INS engages in.
