SummaryObjectives: The main aims of the paper comprise the characterization and examination of the potential approaches regarding interoperability. This includes openEHR, SNOMED, IHE, and Continua as combined interoperability approaches, possibilities for their incorporation into the eHealth environment, and identification of the main success factors in the field, which are necessary for achieving required interoperability, and consequently, for the successful implementation of eHealth projects in general.Methods: The paper represents an in-depth analysis regarding the potential application of openEHR, SNOMED, IHE and Continua approaches in the development and implementation process of eHealth in Slovenia. The research method used is both exploratory and deductive in nature. The methodological framework is grounded on information retrieval with a special focus on research and charting of existing experience in the field, and sources, both electronic and written, which include interoperability concepts and related implementation issues.Results: The paper will try to answer the following inquiries that are complementing each other:1. Scrutiny of the potential approaches, which could alleviate the pertinent interoperability issues in the Slovenian eHealth context.2. Analyzing the possibilities (requirements) for their inclusion in the construction process for individual eHealth solutions.3. Identification and charting the main success factors in the interoperability field that critically influence development and implementation of eHealth projects in an efficient manner.Conclusions: Provided insights and identified success factors could serve as a constituent of the strategic starting points for continuous integration of interoperability principles into the healthcare domain. Moreover, the general implementation of the identified success factors could facilitate better penetration of ICT into the healthcare environment and enable the eHealth-based transformation of the health system especially in the countries which are still in an early phase of eHealth planning and development and are often confronted with differing interests, requirements, and contending strategies.Citation: Beštek M, Stanimirovic D.

The focus of this chapter is on various concepts that need to be carefully considered when defining an information systems strategic plan (ISSP) for enhancing public service delivery in the digital era. The first concept discussed is the critical success factors framework. This framework ensures that the ISSP strategic objectives are aligned with the corporate strategic objectives. The aim is to identify those critical success factors that ensure the successful implementation of the ISSP and to determine whether these factors are being achieved in the implementation process. Secondly, the chapter will consider the general implementation philosophy, including the IS application acquisition methods and the key IS features. This ensures the implementation of value for money IS applications. The third concept considered is related to the justification methods for undertaking IS applications. Finally, the chapter will discuss a number of ICT planning issues that may be applicable to the public sector.

54 Background: A successful effort was led in Ontario to increase ST CPOE adoption from 73% to 92% to support safety of patients receiving complex systemic treatment. This work included implementation at 19 hospitals from 2011-2013. The implementation process included identification of multidisciplinary team champions, baseline workflow analysis and development of a future desired state. Findings from this project’s benefits evaluation are presented. Methods: Each hospital was required to collect pre and post implementation measurements for medication errors, transcription errors and order clarity/completeness. Six months post implementation, a semi-structured telephone interview was conducted with representative hospitals (9/19) to obtain qualitative feedback on how implementation impacted workflow, inter-professional practice and workload. Results: Hospitals that implemented showed: 1) decrease in overall medication error rates. 2) decrease in transcription error rates and 3) decrease in number of unclear or incomplete orders. Qualitative feedback from hospital leads indicated that the “future desired” workflow was achieved by all. Most hospital respondents indicated that clarity of inter-professional communication regarding orders improved and in most cases overall workload did not increase. Conclusions: The findings reinforce the benefit associated with implementation of ST CPOE in outpatient settings. Lessons learned in Ontario can be leveraged to support successful implementation of ST CPOE in other jurisdictions. Critical implementation success factors included: 1) leadership and multi-disciplinary involvement; 2) provision of funding and cost sharing; 3) facilitation of process improvement through established methodologies, 4) knowledge transfer and peer group led education and training sessions.

Implementation Context

BACKGROUND Very few evidence-based eHealth interventions for caregivers of people with dementia are implemented into practice. Municipalities are one promising context to implement these interventions, due to their available policy and innovation incentives regarding (dementia) caregiving and prevention. In this study, two evidence-based eHealth interventions for caregivers of people with dementia (Partner in Balance and Myinlife) were implemented in eight municipalities in the Euregion Meuse-Rhine. OBJECTIVE This study’s objectives were to (1.) evaluate this implementation and (2.) investigate determinants of successful implementation. METHODS This study collected eHealth usage data, Partner in Balance coach evaluation questionnaires, and information on implementation determinants. This was done by conducting interviews with the municipality officials, based on the Measurement Instrument for Determinants of Implementation (MIDI). This data from multiple sources and perspectives was integrated and analysed to form a total picture of the municipality implementation process. RESULTS The municipality implementation of Partner in Balance and Myinlife showed varying levels of success. In the end, three municipalities planned to continue the implementation of Partner in Balance, while none planned to continue the implementation of Myinlife. The two Partner in Balance municipalities that did not consider the implementation to be successful, viewed the implementation as an external project. For Myinlife, it was clear that more face-to-face contact was needed to engage the implementing municipality and the target groups. Successful implementations were linked to implementer self-efficacy CONCLUSIONS The experiences of implementing these interventions suggested that this implementation context was feasible regarding the required budget and infrastructure. The need to foster sense of ownership and self-efficacy in implementers will be integrated into future implementation protocols, as part of standard implementation materials for municipalities and organisations implementing Myinlife and Partner in Balance.
