Here is my information:
Data from the KLAS Arch Collaborative shows that EHR governance—defined as a healthcare organization’s strategic and operational framework to oversee EHR management, usage, and optimization—has a significant impact on clinicians’ overall EHR experience. However, it can be challenging for organizations to establish effective EHR governance strategies. In Arch Collaborative data, only 51% of clinicians agree that their organization delivers well on EHR implementation, support, and training, and that percentage has remained stagnant year over year since 2017.
Healthcare organizations have a significant opportunity to make their EHR governance more effective, and an important step is to identify vendor and services firm offerings that can help drive improvements beyond what organizations can do by themselves. This report—part of a series that explores what offerings are available to improve EHR satisfaction—specifically highlights solutions that can support healthcare organizations working to improve their governance processes. KLAS first asked vendors and services firms to report their capabilities and then interviewed 83 customer organizations to validate those capabilities. For more information about how specific organizations collaborated with their vendor/firm to improve EHR governance, view the case studies linked in the full report.
