A typical hospital in the United States has hundreds of inpatient measures to capture and report out of their electronic health record (EHR) to validate their clinical quality. The ability to spot trends and report accurately, however, relies on effective and efficient input of data into the EHR by the care team. But it takes time and may compete with other priorities in patient care. In fact, one study found that an average of 12.5 hours of physician and staff time is spent per week entering information into the medical record. So how can hospitals adopt more efficient processes to this necessary task?
Mayo Clinic, seeing the inefficiency and wastefulness of some of its processes, went on a journey to adopt a leaner, more efficient process to obtain and report quality measurement data more effectively.
