As a health provider across multiple states, the Health system faced the enormous task of undertaking Digital Transformation away from paper-based charting to paperless. This initiative required the IT Department to undertake. A serious inventory of skills and capabilities to ensure it could meet the challenges of the user base in this new environment of paperless charting.
The Director of Talent and Recruitment engaged with Digital Forge to provide oversight and guidance in reviewing the existing IT Talent and mapping a pathway to enhance the existing talent base and potential expansion of talent. Assessment tools were utilized to measure skill sets and match them accordingly to the goals of the organization. After a detailed inventory of skills and requirements were compiled, Digital Forge set forth a plan to ensure the team had the needed education and forward-thinking foundation to ensure success while recommending that additional talent be utilized to cover the gaps in short and long-term goals and ensure the most forward-thinking approach to compliance with HIPAA and modern HIT Privacy Practices.
Employee and Clinician assessments were also performed to assess the knowledge requirements needed for a successful transition to digital clinical records. Teams were excited for the ability to voice their opinions on the transformation and voice their concerns over training and adoption. The results were quantifiable; a successful migration to a leading-edge Patient Health Record system with a well-qualified team of professionals on the frontline of the IT Department prepared to take on the requirements of the organization’s forward-trajectory in Digital Transformation.
