心血管 (CV) healthcare delivery has seen remarkable advancements over the years due to numerous digital health innovations aimed at enhancing the quality and consistency of care. While these solutions offer many benefits to CV patients and providers, they also require clinicians to embrace and depend upon evolving technologies increasingly.
像这样, health systems are regularly tasked with integrating technologies and information systems into their electronic health records (EHRs) and how to promote provider-friendly and efficient workflows, 特别是当集成不是无缝的时候.

潜在的挑战和解决方案
Technologies capable of improving CV providers’ workflows and ability to care for patients efficiently across care settings require a lot of thought to operationalize. Navigating the complexities of interoperability within CV care requires addressing issues such as disparate data formats, 通信协议变化, 数据孤岛. Highlighted below are nine typical digital challenges health systems encounter as they strive to provide comprehensive CV services to their patients.
1. 第三方数字解决方案的激增
挑战: The explosion of specialized CV digital solutions has led to an array of third-party systems that must be integrated into the EHR. 因为医院经常使用单独的电子病历解决方案, 政治行动委员会, 种新的, 和更多的, 集成这些解决方案可能是一项艰巨的任务
解决方案: 考虑将解决方案整合到更少、更健壮的平台中. For example, a single 种新的 solution that supports all modalities (e.g., 合并有氧运动, syngo动力学, and IntelliSpace 心血管) offers better internal integration for CV care and standardized results than a collage of applications.
2. 数据孤岛和不完整的患者记录
挑战: 碎片化的系统会导致数据孤岛, where critical patient information is scattered across various platforms. 结果是, healthcare providers may not have a comprehensive view of a patient's CV history and diagnostic data, 导致次优决策和, 潜在的, 病人护理受损.
解决方案: Develop comprehensive data governance policies and procedures to ensure data consistency and quality. Establish standards for data sharing and management to prevent data silos.
3. 工作流中断
挑战: 碎片化扰乱了临床工作流程. Navigating multiple systems causes providers to lose valuable time.
解决方案: Invest in comprehensive training and superuser support to help healthcare professionals stay up to date with functionalities and find efficiencies across integrated systems.
4. 增加出错的风险
挑战: The manual entry of data between disparate systems increases the risk of errors and discrepancies. This not only affects patient care but adds to administrative burden and provider burnout.
解决方案: Incorporate automation within existing workflows and processes to reduce the need to manually transfer data between systems.
5. 成本的影响
挑战: Integrating third-party solutions can be costly in terms of time, resources, and finances. 医院 may need to hire specialized IT staff or engage in lengthy customization efforts, 潜在的预算紧张.
解决方案: Create a strategic plan for IT integration that outlines objectives and budgets. Prioritize integration initiatives based on their potential impact on patient care and operational efficiency.
6. 合规
挑战: Ensuring data security and patient privacy across a fragmented ecosystem is complex, 提高对医疗保健法规合规性的担忧.
解决方案: 在IT治理中包括质量和遵从性涉众, 特别是对于重要的工作流更新. Establish and maintain processes to regularly audit systems for compliance.
7. 有限的数据分析
挑战: Meaningful data analytics play a crucial role in improving efficiencies and patient outcomes. 碎片化的数据阻碍了全面的分析和报告, limiting the insights that can be derived from the information collected.
解决方案: 确定关键的数据来源, and target the reconciliation of all patient information within the EHR. Optimize reporting by determining the relevant capabilities of new products and integrating outputs.
8. 集成
挑战: While several standardized data formats and communication protocols exist, integration can still be complicated due to the many device and software vendors required for CV care.
解决方案: Ensure vendor selection is a key part of your health system’s overall integration strategy. The IT platforms chosen must support the quick and seamless transfer of information where it’s needed, 当需要的时候, 尤其是在电子病历中, 种新的, 和政治行动委员会.
9. 抗拒改变
挑战: Healthcare professionals have historically been reluctant to adopt new technologies or alter established workflows. Overcoming this resistance and gaining buy-in for integration initiatives can be a hurdle.
解决方案: Implement effective change management strategies to overcome resistance to IT integration. Involve key stakeholders in decision-making, and communicate the benefits of integrated systems.
The hurdles associated with integrating third-party CV IT solutions are significant but not insurmountable, 系统领导者应该优先解决这些问题, as the benefits of a high-performing system outweigh the challenges. 通过战略性地规划整合计划, 与供应商合作, 优先考虑互操作性, healthcare organizations can create a more cohesive and efficient CV IT ecosystem that fulfills the needs of both patients and providers.
