1. What is the current system for your fictional organization?
Healthcare information systems (HIS) is an integration of systems that manage healthcare data.
These systems collect, store, and manage patient and staff data (Brook 2020). The healthcare
information system makes data available for utilization by the various departments such as
laboratories, pharmacies, doctors, nurses, and administrators. The system currently at QC
healthcare organization is an electronic health record (EHR) that collects and stores information
about the patent in the database and allows access to configured departments in the network. The
EHR system captures the patient’s bio data, medical history, diagnoses, medications, allergies,
laboratory results, and billing information.
The system ensures the security of the patient information, and every department can only access
relevant data. This means that a department like a laboratory department will only access the test
results data and not medication data. As a result, the system protects patient data from unrelated
departments. This system benefits the hospital because of easy modification and extraction of
data. It also removes the need for paperwork in recording patients’ information, thus improving
the organization’s efficiency.
2. What problems do you have with the current system?
The problem with our open-source EHR is that it is challenging to use as a result, the staff takes
a long time to key in or extract information. It is prone to cyber-attacks; therefore, the hospital
invests in costly security systems. In addition, customizing the interface to meet the physician’s
function is challenging. The standard health record system should have an inbuilt capacity that
customizes the interface in each environment provider. Further, the EHR system lacks the
required components through its practice-specific EHR systems. That is to say, our EHR system
does not fit into our doctor’s workflow. Disruption of workflow usually results in productivity
losses. The hardware that augments the system requires regular updates that are costly.
3. Yield of implementing a new system and its impact
Decker (2021) identifies Aarogya as the top hospital information system. Its in-built capacities
include inpatient and outpatient management, inventory management, diagnosis, invoice, and
billing. The new system is expected to save money in the long term and increase profitability and
efficiency in medical services. Additionally, the new system will lower record-keeping expenses
while improving data privacy, workflows, and billing. The system can connect more than 200
staff with a lot of ease. The departments of QC can generate tailor-made reports.
The new system is expected to impact QC hospital’s medical service delivery in several ways
(Soni 2020). These ways include:
 The company will be able to provide clinical data that are more comprehensive
and well structured.
 Data entry errors from legibility will be significantly reduced.
 The hospital administration will have improved decision-making through easy
predictive modeling and disease management tools.
 Its intuitive interface can be customized to meet the physician’s function.
In comparison, based on the requirements addressed above EHR requires cheaper hardware and
has more affordable installation costs when compared to Aarogya. Aarogya, on the other hand,
has additional built-in features that provide tailor-made intuitive environments which meet
physicians’ workflows. Another advantage of Aarogya over EHR is its ability to configure over
200 workstations in the database. In terms of eliminating data entry errors, Aarogya can
significantly eliminate legibility errors compared to EHR. The mission and vision of QC are
geared toward service efficiency and increased profitability that is provided for adequately by the
Aarogya system. Therefore, I will replace the existing software to improve service delivery.
4. Phase-out plan
Chaitan (2014) suggests that a poorly implemented phase-out plan can result in big losses to the
hospital. The first step will be to highlight the problems of EHR to the staff and management.
Training of the tech staff on the new system and its impact on patient satisfaction. The hardware
previously installed for the EHR system can be recycled in the new system and will be reused.
Generally, the phase-out will be in stages of implementation until it is phased out completely.
