Functionalities by Work Processes
Results Retrieval
Clinical decisions commonly depend on the results of diagnostic testing. Such information needs to be pervasively available so that caregivers can make the most appropriate and expeditious decisions wherever they are physically located, unencumbered by competition for the physical asset(the chart), and with data presented in the way that optimizes understanding of the clinical problem. Data from prior encounters enhances understanding of the patient’s clinical trajectory, highlights potentially significant issues, and reduces duplicative evaluations.
Clinical Care Delivery and Documentation
Patient care is a Team activity. Consequently, sharing information among, and coordinating the activities of, the caregiver team is essential for clinical effectiveness. The information with the greatest impact is that which is used by the most people, unambiguous in its significance, and directly needed for the most important clinical decisions. Gathering all the data needed for a clinical judgement and presenting it optimally results in greater clinical effectiveness.
Inpatient Care Management
While primary caregivers focus on the patient in front of them, others look at a larger population, ensuring that the resources and needed attention are applied where most needed. Identifying those patients where there is likely to be a need for more help, more expertise, or there is an opportunity to improve the effectiveness of care is a key way to leverage data that has been gathered in the course of Clinical Care Delivery. Fundamentally, it is a way to make sure no one “falls through the cracks” and that resources are focused on those in greatest need.
Departmental Operations
Bedside patient care depends on the support of many people and systems outside the patient room. These departments are “high transaction volume” environments where high service levels are essential for the rest of patient care to be efficient. Happily, extensive automation has already occurred in these areas, though gaps remain.
Administrative Procedures
Many work processes must occur to enable and implement direct patient care. They are closely related to patient satisfaction and efficiency of operation of the clinical staff.

Functionalities by Phases
The CLINT Functionalities were defined and prioritized by broad-based discussions throughout CHW among more than 250 caregivers, technicians, administrative staff, managers, and executives. Then, extensive Assessments of these Functionalities were done throughout CHW through contacts with over 200 CHW caregivers. The Tiers from the Discussions and the Learnings from the Assessments have been combined into the Phases which are described in this document. The CLINT Phases form a logical sequence that describes how an organization can implement the CLINT Functionalities—getting the most value and least disruption up front and building on the foundation of the earlier Phases.
Phase IEstablishes infrastructure and incorporates workflow improvements for the high volume, high value clinical transactions…
Phase IAThe most basic administrative and clinical transactions have to work before more complex
workflows can be affected. These are high volume and high value clinical transactions, which must be done, so that if there are inefficiencies the impact will be felt in delayed or ineffective clinical decisions, staffing to offset the inefficiencies, or poor service levels.
The effective accomplishment of these Functionalities also establishes the basis for doing more complicated Functionalities, by getting devices in place where caregivers can get to them, deploying passwords and familiarity with the system, and creating the habit that “the computer is where you look for information.”
Phase IBThese Functionalities get more deeply into caregivers’ workflows, focusing on those tasks that can
be cumbersome to do manually and whose workflow can be relatively straightforwardly improved. For example, data which is sought by many different personnel in the hospital, and which therefore can have a huge impact on clinical decision-making, is put into electronic form so it can be made available in different ways, each optimized to serve a different purpose. Calculations are done automatically, improving availability, accuracy and efficiency.
Phase ICFunctionalities requiring and supporting inter-departmental collaboration are added here, building
new ways to do work. Paper Medication Administration Records go away, leading to much more flexibility in displaying the effects of medication therapy using Clinical Management Flowsheets and enabling even better medication monitoring.

DRAFT
Phase IIBroadens the range of caregiver activities included and builds more sophistication and complexity into the tools…
Phase IIAThe electronically enabled caregiver at this point can no longer accept paper-based methods, so
the range of tasks is broadened, with the easier extensions of the electronic capabilities established in Phase I.
Phase IIBMore complex and more technically challenging work processes are tackled here. Many more
decisions about clinical processes, such as the degree of detail required for documentation, are made. Multiple organizational groups and technologies interact, which is harder to make work than in earlier Phases, but builds on existing knowledge and trust.
Phase IICThe remainder of the bedside and paper workflow is captured and integrated, tying in the new pieces with all that has already been done.
Phase IIITackles the more challenging work processes in more specialized environments…
