Exploration Of Ehr Implementation Strategies: A Qualitative Study, Scot Eric Loerch Jan 2020

Exploration Of Ehr Implementation Strategies: A Qualitative Study, Scot Eric Loerch

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

AbstractElectronic health record system implementations have a high failure rate when properly developed strategies are not used. These implementation failures affect healthcare workers and practitioners core roles through a lack of documentation practices, which decreases the quality of the care of the patients. Grounded in the technology acceptance model, the purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore the strategies information technology systems engineers use for the implementation of Health Information Management Systems. The participants were 10 information technology systems engineers from three healthcare organizations in the greater Tennessee area. The data were collected through recorded participant interviews …

Strategies Used In Ehealth Systems Adoption, Joshua Adams

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Failure to adopt an interoperable eHealth system limits the accurate communication exchange of pertinent health-care-related data for diagnosis and treatment. Patient data are located in disparate health information systems, and the adoption of an interoperable eHealth system is complex and requires strategic planning by senior health care IT leaders. Grounded in DeLone and McLean’s information system success model, the purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore strategies used by some senior information technology (IT) health care leaders in the successful adoption of an eHealth system. The participants were 8 senior health care IT leaders in the eastern United …

Cybersecurity Using Risk Management Strategies Of U.S. Government Health Organizations, Ian Cornelius Wilkinson

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Seismic data loss attributed to cybersecurity attacks has been an epidemic-level threat currently plaguing the U.S. healthcare system. Addressing cyber attacks is important to information technology (IT) security managers to minimize organizational risks and effectively safeguard data from associated security breaches. Grounded in the protection motivation theory, the purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore risk-based strategies used by IT security managers to safeguard data effectively. Data were derived from interviews of eight IT security managers of four U.S. government health institutions and a review of relevant organizational documentation. The research data were coded and organized to …


Sustainable Building Certification In Healthcare And Patient Satisfaction, Brian Jay Goehner Jan 2020

Sustainable Building Certification In Healthcare And Patient Satisfaction, Brian Jay Goehner

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Eco-friendly healthcare delivery concepts are becoming more accepted as hospital leaders seek to control energy costs, mitigate contributions to climate change, and preserve scarce resources. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) offers healthcare leaders a framework for designing and constructing sustainable facilities that meet efficiency goals. The purpose of this quantitative cross-sectional study was to build an understanding of whether LEED certification influences Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) ratings. Using complex systems theory as the framework, the research questions were focused on exploring if higher levels of LEED certification led to greater HCAHPS overall hospital …

Strategies To Implement A Material Management Information System For Medical Device Recalls, Paul Leo Lafrance

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Health care business executives lack strategies to implement material management information systems (MMIS) related to medical device recalls. Lacking sufficient MMIS, health care business executives face insufficient product tracking related to medical devices affecting operational efficiency. Grounded in the conceptual frameworks of the technology acceptance model and diffusion of innovation, the purpose of this qualitative single case study was to explore health care business executives’ strategies for implementing an MMIS related to medical device recalls. The participants were 6 health care executives who implemented an MMIS in an urban hospital in the northeast region of the United States. Data were …
