2HEALTHCAREHappytown General HospitalDated:Respected Sir, Sub: Proposal for having a HIM professional on the CPOE Project teamIt is a pleasant news that the facility has undertaken an overall Electronic HealthRecord (EHR) implementation strategy and has implemented a computerized ADT system.The successive phase would be the implementation of a CPOE (Computerized Provider OrderEntry) system. It has been observed that the team members for the CPOE project have norepresentative from the Health Information Management (HIM) department. Against thiscontext, I would like to explain all the benefits of having a HIM professional on the CPOEProject team. The most important rationale for including a member of the HIM department is toensure that a professional can manage the CPOE system for ensuring that legal, ethical andmedical standards are maintained. Collection and analysis of patient data will be made easierif these professionals are present. The key job roles of such experts include maintaining theaccuracy of patient records, establishing privacy of patient records, maintaining healthdatabases and analysing records. Cost-efficient EHR practices can only be achieved ifcollaboration is established with HIM experts. The quality of CPOE implemented might beineffective and disorganised in their absence. Fragmented delivery systems and informationsystem restrictions are some of the major issues faced in EHR systems if experienced andskilled professionals are not handling them. HIM professionals have the exclusive knowledgeand proficiency that when combined with executive teams of other professionals lead toadvanced and safe care delivery (McWay, 2013).
