YUMA District Hospital and Clinic has successfully attested
for Meaningful Use; Congratulations YUMA! To share a different perspective, TSI
Healthcare asked Jason at YUMA for some tips for MU success. We also asked
Jason his thoughts about having TSI Healthcare as a partner in MU. Here is what
he said:
Tips for other clients:
1.
Make sure that you have the full support of your
Executive Leadership. From an Administrator to CEO/CFO/VP’s etc.
2.
Meaningful Use means change. Change in workflow
and thought processes. Change is hard. Be compassionate to those that cannot
handle change. Embrace and utilize those that thrive on it.
3.
Elect a physician champion. Usually someone that
embraces change and will be the driving force to encourage other physicians.
Usually the younger physicians find they cannot live without technology. Use
them…
4.
Meet often. Create a Meaningful Use Task Force
or Committee. Meet weekly to review current report levels and identify areas of
improvement. Make the meetings brief and assign action items for members to
follow up on.
5.
Give the committee structure. Elect a project
manager and make sure to have someone take notes. Make sure each person
realizes their role.
6.
Celebrate accomplishments. Go out to lunch or
throw a party. This process is grueling, frustrating at times, but rewarding
when you are helping transition health care into what it needs to be.
7.
Most of all, keep your family close. This
process can take you away from those you love. When that happens, celebrate
with them also…
TSI Healthcare as a partner:
"TSI Healthcare has been a HUGE asset and leader in Health Care Reform for Yuma.
Through numerous meetings, trainings, support sessions, webinars, phone calls,
upgrades and implementations, etc. TSI has been there every step of the way.
They have been the constant in this process. From day one, I felt reassured
that everyone had our back. If we ever had a question, they were there. If we
ever had an issue, they were there. Reliable is a good word to describe
everyone at TSI. With reliability comes respect. With respect comes integrity.
TSI embodies all of these. From the Front Desk to the President’s office,
everyone at TSI has played a role in us reaching Meaningful Use. We could not
of achieved this without their support and dedication to our success. Special
thanks to Christian, Amanda, Jeff, Natalie, Jason, Donnie, David for all your
support and everything you have done for Yuma District Hospital and Clinics.
Here’s to many more years of valued support…"
Thank you for the tips and encouraging words YUMA! Congrats
and keep up the good work!
