Muse Matters - Spring 2009 - (Page 44) next, meaning was it custom in Magic and will it correctly repoint in Focus? What time allocation is necessary to work with the third party vendors to seamlessly migrate? One must consider options such as outsourcing, where industry experts handle the interface/integration maintenance or hiring additional sta to support this task. It’s important to ensure the migration of your interfaces and integration is seamless not only for the happiness of your sta but patient care and data integrity depend on it. Lastly, let’s look at future state. Where in your implementation plan do advanced clinicals t? Oh, and by the way … advanced clinicals are no longer de ned by the nursing units electronically documenting and bar-coding medications, advanced clinicals are departments such as OR, ED, and Cardiology. These departments will depend on connectivity to complex technology and the move toward a comprehensive medical record will require this integration. This integration includes interfacing multiple patient monitor systems such as PACS Systems, Cardiology PACS Systems, Smart Pumps, OR Anesthesia systems and ED Monitoring systems back to the MEDITECH HIS. Can you imagine what your point-to-point interface diagram will look like with these additional departments now interfacing? If your hospital is like most others you are working with multiple third party vendors, with di erent interface speci cations and capabilities; imagine the management around this. As the clinical transformation is taking place patient safety depends on real-time, accurate data to be delivered to all care givers. Interfaces can’t go down; it just becomes unacceptable. When migrating to 6.0, now is the time to map and build a tactical and strategic integration strategy to ensure you have the right technology and proper levels of sta in place while adhering to your 6.0 project budget. As your organization looks to make this commitment to achieve clinical transformation and deliver the highest patient care with 6.0, evaluating your integration strategy should be at the forefront, rather than an after thought. By making this a priority early on, your sta will be able to focus on the application aspects of building and maintaining the MEDITECH 6.0 system. The results will be a new system designed and implemented to improve patient safety, achieve end-user acceptance, with guaranteed cost savings along the way.
