What Sírio-Libanês Hospital Did
After their EHR implementation, Sírio-Libanês Hospital measured through an internal survey, and the data uncovered challenges with the initial EHR user experience linked to patient safety concerns. To address concerns and ensure that the EHR could better meet clinicians’ needs, the organization created a clinician portal that seamlessly integrates with the EHR, making important clinical functions more accessible. This collaborative development, which was done following agile methodologies, achieved success because physicians were actively involved and provided valuable feedback and suggestions. Over the years, the organization continuously upgraded both the EHR and the integrated clinician portal to meet evolving healthcare needs. Because the portal is directly integrated with the main EHR, physicians have swift access to clinical information, and the portal facilitates decision-making. Sírio-Libanês Hospital engaged multiple teams, including IT professionals, administrative personnel, and clinical teams to refine the EHR through a multidimensional feedback approach. Their tailored training process was designed for various departments and healthcare professionals, utilizing digital resources to address navigation and process challenges. This commitment to clinical system excellence has empowered the organization’s physicians to prioritize patient-centered care and has led to tangible improvements in patient outcomes.

About Arch Collaborative Case Studies
Arch Collaborative case studies are focused on highlighting success that Collaborative participants achieve with or through healthcare technology. They are meant to briefly advertise member success and act as starting points for ongoing communication and collaboration between member organizations.
Case studies are typically published when (1) a verified outcome is recorded (and often verified through the Collaborative survey) and (2) the approach or steps to achieving that outcome aren’t commonly known and would be helpful to other organizations.
All Collaborative members and participants are invited to submit case studies by working with their KLAS guide.
