The Women and Newborn mostly caters to postpartum and well-baby patients, but sometimes gynecology patients are admitted to the department which is hard for the staff since the gyn section for EHR documentation is not as organized as the OB section resulting to staff dissatisfaction and takes longer to chart patient assessment since the part that needs to be filled is not organized. The proposal was to create a section that focuses on gyn charting. Organizing and localizing the gyn section of charting will make it easier for the staff and there will be an improvement in usability which would result in more bedside patient care than computer charting.
Prasad, (2021) the need to act because of all the dissatisfaction beckons EHR optimization as a common choice for myriad organizations throughout the healthcare industry. EHR optimization could support a variety of value-based care delivery models and build better relationships between people in the clinical care team.
