![Page 3: Keynote-Brookstone-Physician-Voice-SingaporeITSummit08](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5553d5cdb4c90574028b4d07/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Inner Voice
• What’s in it for me?
• I have to be heard
• What this means in terms of my local situation and my patients?
• How do I protect my patient’s right to privacy?
• How do I adopt technology without becoming overwhelmed?

Physician Characteristics
• Independent
• Advocate for patient care
• Many run small businesses
• Appreciate the ‘Art’ as well as the ‘Science’
• How do physicians adopt and use technology in their practices?
![Page 7: Keynote-Brookstone-Physician-Voice-SingaporeITSummit08](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5553d5cdb4c90574028b4d07/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Where do Physicians fit in the Big Picture of eHealth?
• Activity is currently taking place at multiple levels simultaneously– Internationally– Nationally – Provincially– Regionally
• Primary care Renewal projects, Regional EHR– Locally
• Clinical info systems in local hospitals, DI, labs etc.– Private sector
• How do nations and physicians make good decisions regarding uptake and use of technology including EMRs?

The Environment is Changing
• Healthcare costs are rising at an unsustainable rate
• Patient expectations are changing
• Using EMR/EHR creates new opportunities but also new challenges
• SUCCESS requires a team approach plus a Common Vision– Government, Medical Associations, Funding
Organizations Physicians, other clinical providers

Conceptual Cycle of ICT Adoption & Use by Physicians
![Page 14: Keynote-Brookstone-Physician-Voice-SingaporeITSummit08](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5553d5cdb4c90574028b4d07/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is an Electronic Medical Record?
• The EMR is a Provider Centric tool• Generally a physician will use this system with each
and every patient encounter and will record detailed encounter information, some of which is sensitive and not appropriate to share with all other providers.
• This is also the system where patient results, (e.g. laboratory, diagnostic imaging, and other reports ordered by a provider), are delivered to that provider's electronic in-box, (i.e. this information is "pushed " to the provider, negating the need for the provider to go out and seek it).
![Page 15: Keynote-Brookstone-Physician-Voice-SingaporeITSummit08](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5553d5cdb4c90574028b4d07/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
EMR Myths & Realities
• MYTH: If only we could find the ‘perfect’ Electronic Medical Record (EMR), everything would fall into place (‘killer app mentality’)
• REALITY: EMRs are ‘mission critical’ applications that are required to work 100% of the time every 10 minutes in primary care.

Goal: Patient Centric Shared Care
SHARED CARE PLAN
![Page 17: Keynote-Brookstone-Physician-Voice-SingaporeITSummit08](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5553d5cdb4c90574028b4d07/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Keys to Success
• Belief in a common vision
• Collaboration
• Innovation
• Common data standards
• Staying the course
• Leading peers by example
![Page 18: Keynote-Brookstone-Physician-Voice-SingaporeITSummit08](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5553d5cdb4c90574028b4d07/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This is a Complex Process
• One size does not fit all
• Business and clinical processes need to be facilitated between GPs and between GPs and Specialists e.g. Referrals
• The Triangle of:– People
– Process
– Technology

Amplifying the Physician Voice
• Communication
• Collaboration
![Page 22: Keynote-Brookstone-Physician-Voice-SingaporeITSummit08](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5553d5cdb4c90574028b4d07/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Physician Engagement Requires
• A structured mechanism to communicate and facilitate change
• Identification, support and conversion of early adopters into…
• Champions and Agents for ‘Spread’ within local communities
• Involvement of care providers and support staff
![Page 23: Keynote-Brookstone-Physician-Voice-SingaporeITSummit08](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5553d5cdb4c90574028b4d07/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
To have an Effective Voice
• Need to understand
– Overall goals
– Timelines
– When it is appropriate to be involved
![Page 24: Keynote-Brookstone-Physician-Voice-SingaporeITSummit08](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5553d5cdb4c90574028b4d07/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Role of Communication
• During early technology adoption, communication is critical
• Identify local needs– Influenced by political, historical issues and local
programs
– Allow users to stratify themselves appropriately
– Provide dynamic feedback to leadership to ensure programs effectively deployed

VCH Physician Clinical IT Adoption Model
Level 1:Practitioner’s personal use of a computer rarely (if ever) at the point of care. Billingsystem and other software in use in the office, but not directly impacting patient care.Electronic resources not used on a regular basis to look up clinical information.
Level 2:Primary a paper-based practice. Care delivery assisted through use ofelectronic resources, such as online access to clinical practice guidelinesand/or PDA use for looking up medical reference material. Practitionerand office may use email. Internet and other IT tools not used for directmanagement of patient information and patient care.
Level 3:Hybrid Practice: paper and electronic. Practitioner use ITtools to manage focused elements of practice, promotingclinical quality improvement. Practice supported by toolsthat aid in the direct management of patient care. e.g.decision support for practice diabetic population.
Level 4:Practitioner and practice are EMR based forthe vast majority of all patient care. Usetools that support new workflows andchange management to deliver high quality,pro-active practice, that help the practiceachieve higher evidence-based care.

The Physician Voice
• Without– Support
– An understanding of context
– Belief in a future vision
• The inner voice dominates, and
• The external voice is ineffective
“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference”Sir Winston Churchill
