Informatics & Technology Implementation
Informatics projects introduce or improve a technology, such as an EHR tool, alert, or app. Beyond whether the tool exists, they need to show whether people actually use it, whether it fits the workflow, and whether it changes care.
Common mistakes for this type
- Measuring whether the tool is available instead of whether it's used.
- Overlooking usability and workflow, which often decide whether a tool gets used.
- Relying on system-generated data without checking how each measure is defined and recorded.
