Background Information

Part A: Business Problem

The clinical system that I use at work is a large, complex system that is difficult to navigate and use. This can lead to delays in patient care, errors in documentation, and frustration among staff.

For example, it can be difficult to find the information that I need quickly and easily. I often have to search through multiple screens and menus to find the data that I need. This can be time-consuming and can lead to errors.

In addition, the system is not always user-friendly. The menus and instructions can be confusing, and the system does not always provide clear feedback. This can lead to frustration among staff and can make it difficult to learn how to use the system effectively.

Part B: Business Needs and Requirements Statement

The following business needs and requirements statement summarizes the business problem that I have identified:

The clinical system must be easy to navigate and use.

The system must provide clear and concise instructions.

The system must provide clear feedback on user actions.

The system must be able to support the needs of all users, including clinical staff, administrative staff, and patients.

The following are some specific improvement opportunities that could be implemented to address the business problem:

The system could be redesigned to make it easier to find information.

The system could be equipped with a better search function.

The system could provide more contextual help and instructions.

The system could provide more feedback on user actions.

more background information

When a new patient arrives at the hospital, they need to be registered into the EMR if it is the first visit. The first access point for the patient is admission so that the official chart can be created. Following that process, the patient is transferred to the appropriate department. At times, because of staffing issues or heavy workload, the admissions process is either not done or incomplete therefore delaying care and documentation. One way to solve this problem is by giving different users access to the interface so that they can complete the process without any delays and when it comes to searching the patient and the chart, users who need to access that specific interface will not be blocked because the chart is locked. After all, another user is viewing it. Another issue is going through multiple interfaces to access certain types of data. A solution is to have one dedicated search bar in the interface that connects the user to the necessary interface without having to go through hoops because doing so also increases workload and lessens patient care
