We have been working with computerized provider order entry (CPOE) at Royal Jubilee Hospital (RJH) for just over three weeks now. Your dedication to quality patient care and the support and encouragement you have provided to each other is noted and appreciated every day.
We will continue to make necessary adjustments to the electronic health record (EHR) system and associated workflows while we adapt to this new way of working over the coming months. As planned, this week we begin the transition to the next phase of stabilization and sustainment and existing governance processes for prioritization and decision-making with regard to requested EHR fixes, changes and enhancements. Enhancement requests should flow through IHealth Subject Matter Expert (SME) Groups and Working Groups.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Calls for support have dropped in number. This is a sign that many of our clinical team members are adapting to the new CPOE functions and workflows.
