What Harris Health System Did
At Harris Health System (Harris Health), any clinician or nurse can submit a ticket for anything, including enhancements. The ticket goes to the IT service desk team, which determines whether the ticket is an enhancement request. The EHR team responsible for making the enhancement a reality is then contacted. The informatics department acts as a middle barrier to determine whether the enhancement request should be completed or not. Depending on clinical initiatives that are coming, the request may be either approved or denied.

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.
