While most hospitals have some level of automation, few have attained a fully electronic environment
Health care Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) analytics created an EMR adoption model that identifies eight levels of EMR capabilities. Your hospital has been designated as a Stage 3 facility. Which of the following is accurate about an organization at Stage 3 level? 1. Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) and better EBP clinical decision support is available.
2. Some clinical automation exists.
3. Basic clinical documentation is required.
4. Major ancillary clinical systems are all installed (laboratory, pharmacy, and radiology systems).
3
Rationale: Basic clinical documentation is required for Stage 3. The stages of the model range from minimal automation at stage 0 to full automation at stage 7. Each subsequent stage presumes the existence of the functionalities listed for the preceding stage. Your choice "Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) and better EBP clinical decision support" matches Stage 4.
