Connect Care - Giving Direction
For clinical improvement to follow Connect Care (CC) implementation, it is vitally important that physicians integrate new informational tools into daily workflows in a meaningful way. For this to happen, they must also be directly involved in decisions about how the CC Clinical Information System (CIS) is designed and configured. A system adapted to Alberta’s front-line opportunities and constraints has the best chance of success.
A key first opportunity for input comes during “Direction-Setting” sessions scheduled for early 2018. These tap into clinician perspectives to guide basic choices about how common workflows will be supported by Connect Care. Physicians participating in Direction-Setting will:
review groundwork information about common workflows and practices;
guide translation of optimized processes into Connect Care workflows;
ensure that proposed workflows align with AHS goals and policies.
