A Go-Live checklist is a critical tool for ensuring the success of any project. The checklist provides a framework to ensure that all critical elements are addressed prior an implementation (especially EHR implementations). For this module’s assignment, you will be creating a Go-Live checklist for your EHR implementation. As a first step in understanding the creation of your checklist please review the following materials:
- AMA web site: Electronic Health Record Implementation Module.
- Read the following article: Electronic Health Record (EHR) Implementation GO-LIVE Planning Checklist.
Directions
Based upon the readings and supplied checklist templates, create your own one-page Go-Live checklist that addresses the following areas: - Staff
- Hardware
- Down Time Procedures
In your checklist make sure you list the sequence of how you would like your “Go Live” to occur. For example: - Two weeks prior to “Go Live”: Ensure all staff have met training requirements
- One week prior to “Go Live”: All equipment has been tested and meets specification for operating with the EHR.
Feel free to be creative and use the supplied resources or others you might locate to assist in drafting your “Go live” checklist. Remember to ask your instructor for additional information to bridge any gaps that might exist.
