How do you work with stakeholders when implementing health informatics solutions?
Implementing health informatics solutions can be a complex and challenging process that requires collaboration and communication with various stakeholders, especially physicians. Physicians are key users and influencers of health informatics systems, and their input and feedback are essential for ensuring the quality, usability, and adoption of the solutions. However, working with physicians can also pose some difficulties, such as different expectations, preferences, and perspectives, as well as time and resource constraints. In this article, we will discuss some strategies and best practices for working with physicians when implementing health informatics solutions, based on the following steps:
-
Engage interdisciplinary teams:Include nurses, techs, and other care members. Their insights ensure the informatics tool supports all aspects of patient care, reducing burnout and enhancing workflow.### *Draft a clear engagement plan:Determine appropriate levels of stakeholder involvement. This ensures smooth processes and keeps everyone aligned, fostering transparent communication throughout implementation.
