Read the first 7 EHR Implementation and Project Management flashcards as text

  1. During EHR implementation, a 'super user' is best described as:

    Answer: A highly trained end-user who supports colleagues during go-live

    Super users are staff members with advanced EHR training who serve as first-line support for their peers during and after go-live.

  2. Which risk mitigation strategy involves maintaining the legacy system operational while the new EHR runs in parallel?

    Answer: Parallel operation

    Parallel operation runs both the old and new systems simultaneously to reduce risk, allowing staff to cross-verify data before full cutover.

  3. A gap analysis during EHR implementation is used to:

    Answer: Identify differences between current workflows and the new system's capabilities

    Gap analysis compares existing workflows and processes against what the new EHR system offers, revealing areas that need configuration, training, or workflow redesign.

  4. Which document formally authorizes a project manager to use organizational resources for an EHR implementation?

    Answer: Project charter

    The project charter is the formal document that authorizes the project and grants the project manager authority to allocate resources.

  5. In EHR project management, 'scope creep' refers to:

    Answer: Unauthorized expansion of project requirements beyond original specifications

    Scope creep occurs when new features or requirements are added without formal change control, threatening timelines and budgets.

  6. Which federal program provided financial incentives to encourage eligible providers to adopt certified EHR technology?

    Answer: Meaningful Use / Promoting Interoperability

    The Meaningful Use program (later renamed Promoting Interoperability) under HITECH provided Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments for adopting and demonstrating meaningful use of certified EHR technology.

  7. A Gantt chart is primarily used in EHR project management to:

    Answer: Visualize project tasks and their scheduled durations over time

    A Gantt chart is a horizontal bar chart that displays project tasks along a timeline, showing start dates, durations, dependencies, and milestones.
