Transitioning to Electronic Health Records: A Case Study

The case study by Elizabeth Layman (2011) is a very comprehensive compilation of the implementation of electronic health records, in relation to the Health Information Services Departments. Through this study Layman documents the conditions to be implemented to achieve satisfactory application of the change-over from the conventional pen and ledger system to computer documentation of patient’s records maintained by health networks. Through this study was proven to be a labor some task. Over time that working harder was not working smarter. That it was merely a short-term solution. No one could withstand the day to day drudge of maintaining heroic results except for short burst at a time, or under extreme situations. As well as new positions

Depending on technologies, schedules, or even nature of work these changes can be paced, or sporadic. Variable by any means and completely aligned for the current state of task. Job enrichment is a job redesign technique that allows workers more control over how they perform their own tasks, giving them more responsibility (Principles of Management, March 2013, p. 336). Adding responsibility to employee’s positions will empower them to perceive their position requires and advancement in pay. How are the principles of job enrichment applied in this case? By the addition of added tasks on higher levels of skill, with added responsibility and accountability. Doing so eliminated the monotony of the tasks at hand. Although adding levels of work to the process added to the levels of stress on the job. Therefore, these actions may not match every situation. Only adding overload. These factors are in response to everyday problems. Including proposed solutions to upcoming problems. Potential actions to the problems. Risks to balance and complete the implementation. The tools in use to monitor these problems and give solutions would be in this
