5-2 Final Project Milestone Three: Implementation
Data entry is inputted data into a computer system. Data entry is important when
implementing a new system because it supports data entry systems, users to input information
and allows those user to customize patient records. In this milestone I will be discussing how
data entry would be used in the new EHR system, recommendations for a testing plan and
education and training that would be beneficial to the system.
Implementation: Data Entry
Data entry is important because it is information that is inputted into a computer. Some of
things that would implemented within the data entry process would be transcription, typing and
even voice recognition. Furthermore, with the new EHR system the data entry will include alert
of errors, correction of errors, message formatting, free text, guiding users who need help.
checking data entries and providing many kinds of data processing aids. Another important factor
to consider would also be screen elements. Implementing the correct screen elements will allow
users to go through pages easily and view the screen at a comfortable level. Lastly, this will keep
information accurate and up to date.
Implementation: Testing
In order to maintain a smooth test plan all components of the EHR system should be
tested. In order to make this process work there will definitely need to be help from the staff. It is
important that all systems meet the appropriate guidelines. For a successful testing plan there
should be work flow implemented. A testing strategy should be developed, validation of
workflows, allocate resources, track testing and outcome and lastly implementing audits of the
testing plan. Furthermore, in the testing plan I would recommend resources that should be ran by

a testing coordinator. The testing process should be realistic and address real issues that can
occur within the system. This is important because if there are any issues those issues can be
fixed within the testing phase. Lastly, it's important that the testing plan is implemented because
it will ensure that when the system goes live it will be a smooth process. It will also help work
out any missed information and allow a more smooth transition.
Implementation: Education and Training
Training is an important when implementing a new EHR system. First, I would
recommend a well laid out training plan that will be helpful to both the user and patients
Training and education should be done interactively with a live trainer so that users can get
familiar with the new system. I feel that live scenarios and example should be used so that users
can be able to experience issues through the system and so that those issues can be fixed first
hand. Of course training would need to be done before the actual system goes live. Additionally
training should incorporate the important information about th
