What is one way you could become involved in designing, selecting, evaluating. or implementing an information system in your workplace?
I like to use my outlook express email at my workplace. I work for a state facility, so it is hard to implement change. We use the program AVATAR for documenting in patients' charts and transcribing doctors orders. It's not a user friendly program, but it improvement from paper documentation. Our system does include checking alerts on medication interactions which might cause problems for the patient. I don't think alerts about initiating actions for examinations, immunizations, patient education, and laboratory tests are implemented in our program, but it could be something I could check into and maybe we could implement this into our program.
