Proud To Be ODD


A Clinical Systems Administrator should be Proud to be ODD

This is because ODD is an acronym for:

ORIENTED TO PROCESSES:
Processes that streamline the human - technology interaction required for successfully caring for patients while building and utilizing the Electronic Health Record

DRIVEN BY POLICIES:
Policies that organize, communicate and assign accountability for proper application of directive procedures

DIRECTED BY PROCEDURES:
Procedures that standardize, support and give direction to the users of the computer system in conjunction with the processes necessary to effectively provide and document patient care.

These three considerations are KEY to managing the human side of the symbiotic relationship that exists between the technology of the clinical systems we select to build the Electronic Health Record and the people that utilize this technology.

The ideal equation for a SUCCESSFUL Clinical Systems Administrator breaks down like this: -

CLINICAL SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATION = [ (ODD) +
( Effective Technology Implementation and Management ) ]
