Redesign Specialist Competencies
  • Document the workflow and information management
    models of the practice.
  • Conduct user requirements analysis to facilitate
    workflow design.
  • Develop revised workflow and information
    management models for the practice, based on

    Revised models will anticipate implementation of
  • General practice automation (e.g. appointment
    scheduling) to the extent not yet implemented
  • Electronic documentation and results review
  • Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE)
  • Clinical decision support (CDS)
  • Health information exchange to include
  • Sending of lab orders and receipt of results
    using CPOE
  • Quality improvement and reporting
  • E-Prescribing
  • Other EHR functionalities as required by the
    Stage 1 Meaningful Use definition for 2011 and
    its evolution into Stage 2 in 2013 and Stage 3 in
    2015.

  • As the practice implements the EHR, work directly
    with practice personnel to implement the revised
    workflow and information management model.
  • Working with practice staff, develop a set of
    plans to keep the practice running if the EHR
    system fails.
  • Working with practice staff, evaluate the new
    processes as implemented, identify problems and
    changes that are needed, and implement these
    changes.
  • Design processes and information flows for the
    practice that accommodate quality improvement and
    reporting

Technical and Software Requirements
  • Your computer's operating system should have
    Microsoft Windows (XP or above works best) or
    Macintosh (OS X or above works best)
  • Any computer with a Pentium, Pentium clone, or
    PowerPC should work. Of course, the faster your
    processor speed (300 MHz or above), the better
    the performance
  • RAM - 64 MB is probably the minimum, 128 MB is
    better, and 256 MB or higher is preferred  
  • Web browser Microsoft Internet Explorer and
    Mozilla Firefox work best with Blackboard. If you
    are using Windows XP, IE 7 or 8 will work. If you
    are a Mac user, you should use Firefox

18
Technical and Software Requirements
  • Internet Service Provider It doesn't matter
    which ISP you use just make sure it's reliable.
    If you use AOL, minimize it after launching, then
    open Internet Explorer or Firefox to use
    Blackboard
  • Plugins In order to view certain multimedia
    elements and documents on the Web, you need
    specific plugins. Your instructor will tell you
    exactly which plugins you need for your course.
    The most popular are Windows Media, QuickTime,
    RealPlayer, Flash, Shockwave, and Acrobat Reader,
    and they are all freely downloadable.
  • Multimedia DVD-ROM drive with speakers

19
Technical and Software Requirements
  • Lab assignments are required for this course
  • Working with Health IT Systems in Session 1 and
    other classes in Session 3
  • A DVD with VistA CPRS will be sent to your when
    you are enrolled in classes requiring this
    specific software. You must be able to run this
    software on your own PC. The following technical
    requirements apply
  • The installation DVD contains approximately 2
    gigabytes of data.  In order for the VistA system
    to install and run properly on a PC, the PC must
    have 5 gigabytes of available space on its hard
    drive.  The VistA application will run under
    Windows 2000, XP Pro, Vista, or 7. The VA CPRS
    has been reported to run smoothly on XP Home as
    long as it is not used in a networked
    environment.  Users are advised however that XP
    Home is not a supported operating system for the
    VistA CPRS.  The system will not run under MacOS
    but we have preliminary evidence that it will run
    on a Mac using a Windows XP virtual machine.
