This document discusses redesigning the healthcare system and the role of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) in improving care delivery. It summarizes reports from the Institute of Medicine that found the current system is fragmented, lacks information sharing, and is not designed for chronic care management. The reports outlined 10 rules for redesign, including continuous healing relationships, customization based on patient needs/values, and transparency. Traditional CPOE focused on reducing medication errors but modern CPOE aims to integrate evidence-based order sets and clinical decision support tools to improve outcomes. The document examines problems with manual ordering and outlines how CPOE, when combined with workflow redesign and decision support, can help address issues like wasted time
The document outlines various workflows for different services at a medical facility called Medi-Infotec. It describes patient flows for outpatient and inpatient services including appointments, consultations, admissions, discharges and billing. It also maps out workflows for specific departments like laboratory, radiology, OT, pharmacy, inventory management, credit notes and returns.
Digital health technologies like electronic health records (EHRs) aim to make healthcare delivery more efficient, timely and effective. However, simply implementing technology for its own sake is not enough - technology must be used to truly transform clinical processes and improve patient outcomes. A "smart hospital" focuses on using information and digital tools to enhance clinical decision-making and support high quality care, rather than just replacing paper records. Health IT should help humans perform better rather than replace them.
The document discusses demand sensing and SAP's demand sensing capabilities. It provides an overview of key demand sensing concepts, how demand sensing works, and the value it can provide.

In today’s increasingly complex and dynamic business environment, companies must have the agility to make fast, intelligent, and profitable decision. Sales and operations planning (S&OP) is a major pathway forward to make that happen. Recent research shows that companies that are more mature on S&OP have twice the levels of alignment and agility than their counterparts who are lower on the maturity scale.
Join us for a webinar with noted supply chain thought leader and author Lora Cecere to understand the steps to take and the pitfalls to avoid along the road to S&OP agility.
On November 19 at 9am PST/12pm EST/5pm GMT, Lora will address:
- The evolution of S&OP processes and how to build demand and supply processes that align with top-line business goals.
- The steps necessary to achieve the right balance between commercial and operations teams—the key to execution and achieving results.
- Which metrics drive alignment and how the metrics change as S&OP processes mature.
- How supply chain centers of excellence effectively manage regional and global governance to balance rising complexity and volatility with the execution of the plan.

Both Black Book and Peer60 offer various marketing and research services to healthcare vendors and other client companies. Their next episode will focus on how each service addresses key criteria like the number of survey responses and costs to vendors and customers.
This document discusses the history of rating healthcare information systems (HIS) vendors. It begins with Shelly Dorenfest, who in 1980 published the first vendor guide called the "Dorenfest Guide" which provided detailed data and ratings of HIS vendors. In 2004, Dorenfest's company SIDA and database was acquired by HIMSS and renamed HIMSS Analytics, which now provides statistics but no ratings. Today's leading raters of HIS vendors are KLAS and Black Book, both providing ratings based on client feedback. KLAS in particular dominates the industry and was founded by early HIS pioneers with experience at companies like Medlab and Sunquest.
