Introduction
Workflow analysis requires to improve system and to achieve better results. It is having
series of steps to complete a work. Technological changes have risen in present era. Therefore,
workflow analysis and process analysis are necessary to determine scope of improvement in
private and public sectors. Technological changes are also affecting the working process of
hospitals. There are many processes in hospital, which are time consuming, such as workflow,
integrating health records, medication records, and many others. Electronic Health Records
(referred as EHR) system has used to maintain health records of the patients. However, hospital
administration already knows about the workflow, but that is paper-based approach and it was
time-consuming approach. This report will explain few papers, which are having detailed
background of workflow analysis and it provides IT implementation in healthcare department.
Review
Article 1: Lydia Washington, the author of the “Health IT Implementation Workflow
Analysis: a frequently Short-shifted Stage is crucial in Effective IT Placements” (2008)
Summary: The Author of this paper has discussed about the benefits of workflow analysis
to EHR systems. The author of this article has provided tools and technique to recognize the
environmental factor, which has used to find issues and workflow analysis. Social and
environmental factors are important for healthcare. This article focuses on the healthcare field as
well as workflow analysis, which are associated with working of the different systems in
hospital. It has widely explained about the critical process. Those are essential things to
workflow analysis. Workflow analysis is providing different opportunities to enhance the
business processes as well as clinical processes.
Article 2: “Computerization of workflows, strategies, and care paths: a review of
implementation tasks for process-oriented health information systems.”
Summary: this article has explained about the workflow analysis through numerous
hypothetical backgrounds and validations. It has also explained about the clinical procedures and
paths, which are required help of information systems to maintain records of patients (Nguyen,
Bellucci, & Nguyen, 2014). This paper has explained about the implementation of Health
