Workflow Analysis and Electronic Health Records (EHRs)

Although developed to help primary care clinics adopt electronic health records (EHRs), this issue brief is relevant to practices working on refining the workflow for documenting new evidence-based care delivery. By discussing the role of care teams in the workflow mapping process, this resource aligns with Key Driver 3: Optimize health information systems to extract data and support use of evidence in practice. The brief provides a description of workflow analysis and explores the stages of workflow analysis, process mapping, and process redesign.
