Medical Center of DeVry EHR Migration Path
Running any medical facility comes with many hurdles. Having a paper-based medical
record brings additional stress and work for staff. Migrating to an Electronic Health Record
(EHR) takes strategic planning. Each migration may differ between medical facilities as each
starts out with a different variation of a medical record. An EHR brings together IT (including
software and hardware), operational, and clinical elements. The operational portion consists of
but is not limited to: policies, patient safety, cost of care, and productivity, etc. The Medical
Center of DeVry is anticipated to migrate from paper-based to and electronic format. Creating an
outline of the migration path will bring a visual to the client as to what to expect and also see any
issues that may arise.
At this time the Medical Center has systems that are apart of their services such as R-
ADT, laboratory and radiology information systems, and, ROI. Changes to workflow, training,
policies and procedures may occur with EHR implementation. Establishing the current and
future goals and needs is important to be able to evaluate what they could add to benefit the
facility as well as the downfalls. Their goals are applications, operations, and technology, with
this I would suggest to implement connecting lab and pharmacy as well as the medical record.
This would allow them to uniformly access and retrieve data from any location as
interoperability is critical. One of the biggest issues with many medical facilities is the budget, it
can become overwhelming, that is why it is vital to execute a well-planned migration to include
any chances that the budget may be more than what is expected. As this medical center has a
busy ER and owns several physician offices and rehabilitation centers with the possibility of
expansion, it is important for all of these locations to have a uniform system that is accessible
from any single location.

The migration path for the Medical Center of DeVry needs to be on time, on
budget and if the organization doesn’t define or interpret the plan it cannot utilize Health IT to its
full potential and raises the risk of being misdirected. This implementation will need to have
security measure incorporated to avoid cyberthreats and unauthorized access to the EHR.
Conducting a SWOT analysis allows the focus to shift to their strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats.
