Clinician Adoption of IT

As the healthcare industry becomes more computerized, providers must find ways to incorporate information technology (IT) in the most effective, patient-centered manner. While integrating IT holds the promise of improvements in patient outcomes and operational efficiency, many providers confront a variety of clinical, operational, and technical hurdles before realizing these benefits.  

How can organizations use IT to measurably improve care?

Zynx solutions provide tools to create evidence-based order sets, plans of care, reminders, and alerts to standardize care around best practices.

What challenges face organizations looking to improve care with IT?

One of the major challenges for an organization is ensuring adoption among all of its stakeholders. Healthcare professionals can resist technology initiatives, such as electronic medical records (EMR), because of legitimate concerns about the quality of clinical information, the reliability of information technology solutions, the confidentiality of patient information, and the ability to control treatment decisions, among other issues.

How can organizations facilitate IT transitions?

The strength of the clinical synopses underlying all the Zynx solutions helps drive physician consensus and adoption, helping clinicians feel secure with the evidence-based nature of their order sets, plans of care, reminders and alerts. Additionally, Zynx tools can reduce the time required to create and maintain evidence-based order sets and plans of care from weeks or months to hours.

"One of Zynx Health's greatest assets is its professionals who are experienced clinicians with highly developed people skills. They are always accessible and bring critical insights into every aspect of using their evidence-based products as catalysts for improving healthcare delivery."
