Question Answered step-by-step I need help with my questions Problem statement-The case problem is… I need help with my questionsProblem statement-The case problem is the lack of efficiency in delivering quality laboratory services. This calls for improved laboratory efficiency through the development of robust and compressive laboratory information systems. Explain in accordance with the stakeholder audience for which the proposal is intended and ensure that knowledge of the systems development life cycle (SDLC) is applied.Include the following: Problem statement – Provide a concise statement that includes a description of (a) the problem, (b) who and what is affected by the problem, (c) the impact or consequence of the problem, and (d) the proposed solution.Justification/Evidence – Describe how the proposed solution meets a business need and aligns to organizational objectives and goals.Baseline and project-specific data – Discuss what is required to measure the success of the project. Include necessary subject matter experts required for this task.Scope of project – Summarize the parameters of the project to define what is “in scope” and “out of scope” for the project. Include high-level deliverables and completion criteria to determine whether project deliverables are acceptable.Project plan – Include stakeholders/project drivers, milestones, timeline, tasks and activities, resources, budget constraints, barriers and risks, project methodologies, and process and implementation strategies.Application of the systems development life cycle (SDLC) – Explain how it is applied to the proposed informatics solution project to resolve the gap or problem identified for your specified health care organization.Testing phase – Outline the proposed testing scenario/plan and provide evidence that it supports the proposed informatics project. Include how the test results will be documented and how issues will be mitigated.Communication plan – Include stakeholders, stakeholder role and information needed, tools or channels, events generating communication, and level of responsibility.Performance measures for the project – Indicate what they measure and the industry tools and methodologies necessary to the project. Include information on a mitigation plan in the event that the proposed project outcomes do not meet the performance measures.Project management strategies – Outline the strategies that will be applied for planning, budgeting, and communicating the project plan to stakeholders. Background: Epic Beaker Clinical Pathology (CP) is a relatively new laboratory information system (LIS) operating within the Epic suite of software applications. To date, there have not been any publications describing implementation of Beaker CP. In this report, we describe our experience in implementing Beaker CP version 2012 at a state academic medical center with a go-live of August 2014 and a subsequent upgrade to Beaker version 2014 in May 2015. The implementation of Beaker CP was concurrent with implementations of Epic modules for revenue cycle, patient scheduling, and patient registration. Methods: Our analysis covers approximately 3 years of time (2 years preimplementation of Beaker CP and roughly 1 year after) using data summarized from pre- and post-implementation meetings, debriefings, and the closure document for the project. Results: We summarize positive aspects of, and key factors leading to, a successful implementation of Beaker CP. The early inclusion of subject matter experts in the design and validation of Beaker workflows was very helpful. Since Beaker CP does not directly interface with laboratory instrumentation, the clinical laboratories spent extensive preimplementation effort establishing middleware interfaces. Immediate challenges postimplementation included bar code scanning and nursing adaptation to Beaker CP specimen collection. The most substantial changes in laboratory workflow occurred with microbiology orders. This posed a considerable challenge with microbiology orders from the operating rooms and required intensive interventions in the weeks following go-live. In postimplementation surveys, pathology staff, informatics staff, and end-users expressed satisfaction with the new LIS. Conclusions: Beaker CP can serve as an effective LIS for an academic medical center. Careful planning and preparation aid the transition to this LISAphl.org. (2018).
