1 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication Lecture b This material (Comp12_Unit7b) was developed by Johns Hopkins University, funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology under Award Number IU24OC000013.

2 HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication Learning Objective ─ Lecture b Investigate ways in which HIT design can serve as a barrier to effective communication. 2 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture b

3 HIT and Communication 3 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture b

4 HIT and Communication Barriers to Communication 4 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture b

5 HIT and Communication Communication is characterized by social interactions and norms. Behavioral expectations Cues within a group. When information technology is introduced into the social group, we need to plan for potential changes in communication patterns. 5 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture b

6 HIT and Communication We don’t talk to each other the way we used to, and that has an impact on care. 6 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture b

7 HIT and Communication HIT alters the form and pattern of communication and information exchange. Design problems can interfere with the clarity of information communicated between providers. Patch-work systems that do not interact with each other, or that interact inefficiently, and lead to gaps in information, resulting in error. 7 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture b

8 HIT and Communication Social Network Analysis Study of interaction pattern among people, departments, organizations, social groups For example, physicians consult with one another in diagnosing a patient’s illness. They interact with nurses, pharmacists, and medical technicians in providing patient care. Physicians, clinics, hospitals, medical laboratories, home care agencies, and insurance companies may all share a common electronic medical record system.

11 HIT and Communication Workflow Support & System Design “The physician in this case study attempted to make three consultations by landline telephone as the first mode of contact. In the case of consult #3, the physician called, paged, and called a second time, finally leaving a message with the secretary. Each of the three attempts at contact resulted in deferment to an asynchronous mode of communication. Perhaps, had the physician been able to rely on a single, trusted, method of communication, he could have saved time by forgoing the follow-up page and phone call.” (Edwards,2009) 11 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture b

12 HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication Summary ─ Lecture b Communication within the healthcare system is poor. –HIT cannot make bad communication good. HIT can make good channels of communication more efficient. 12 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Quality Improvement HIT Design to Support Teamwork and Communication─Lecture b
