Getting Ready to Get Ready - PATH EHR

Description:
The purpose of this activity is to assist I/T/U sites in optimizing their RPMS EHR Systems. DHITMO has created the "Getting Ready to Get Ready" Guide. This guide outlines essential tasks across four categories – technical, staffing, security, and business processes. Additionally, the IHS National Council of Informatics (NCI) has identified Legacy RPMS EHR Optimization Activities to support the preparation process for Four Directions Warehouse (4DW) and PATH EHR Modernization Migration including: (a) RPMS EHR HIT Assessment (b) ATSP ONC Safer Guide (c) BCMA for Emergency Department, Day Surgery, Radiology, IV Infusion; (d) Aligning BCMA Effectiveness with PATH EHR / Oracle Health; (e) 24-Hour Pharmacy Support; (f) ADC Profiling; (g) RPMS EHR for Inpatient/ED Configuration' (h) Socializing WRAP BPM Workflows; (i) ED POCUS; (j) PAMPI (Problems – Allergies – Medications – Procedures – Immunizations); (k) STI/Syphilis Informatics Response; (l) ASQ Initiative; (m) SDOH – Social Drivers of Health; (n) RPMS EHR Standing Order Authentication; (o) Provider Accounts File Standardization; (p) Pharmacist Ordering Key; (q) Ejection Fraction Component for HRrEJ and (r) use of Institutional DEA# and Local Tenens NPI# in lieu of VA# for prescribing Controlled Substances.

RPMS EHR HIT ASSESSMENT - PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: As part of preparations for PATH EHR the National Council of Informatics (NCI) Is supporting the guidance from Division of Health Information Technology Modernization Office (DHITMO) to assess, monitor, and optimize RPMS EHR in part through the development and review of an HIT Systems Assessment Guide. The NCI will give an overview of this document and an update on progress towards a formalized, NCI approved version to share with the field. This guide will serve as a tool to assist in the assessment of local HIT systems with the intent to be able to evolve and encompass new HIT solutions as they become available. This guide will aid facilities in the important task of optimizing the current RPMS/EHR to support optimal patient care. In addition, this guide will help lay the foundation for the transition to the modernized system. The main objective of the guide is to achieve top performance using the system that we have, while we also prepare for the future.
