Documentation Quality Improvement - Work Package #2: Identity SmartTools

The Connect Care Documentation Quality Improvement initiative seeks to enhance the utility of summative documentation templates for history & physical, consult, discharge, transfer, deceased and operative notes. Oversight is provided by the Clinical Documentation Quality Improvement Workgroup, reporting to the Clinical Documentation Committee.

An early task is to improve building blocks used by summative document authoring tools, including the SmartForms, SmartLists, SmartLinks and SmartPhrases that reflect a patient's gender identity, pronoun preferences, date of birth and affirmed name... collectively "Identity SmartTools". 

While Builders and Analysts are the first work package review participants, any Connect Care user is welcome to learn about the work and offer feedback. Start by viewing the presentation. 

Builders can follow instructions provided in the presentation for working with SmartTool prototypes in the Connect Care POC or TST environments. Users can also use screenshots provided in the  presentation. All can share feedback and suggestions using an online survey.
