Workarounds negate expected practice protocols and are rarely necessary or appropriate means to ensure patient safety. • Longevity is defined as usability beyond the immediate clinical encounter (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018, p. 570). o HITCH ACT- become meaningful users of EHR. o American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 • Communication systems improve productivity to promote interaction among healthcare providers and between providers and patients. Healthcare professionals overwhelmingly recognize the value of these systems to promote data and information processing. Examples of communication systems include call light systems, wireless telephones, pagers, email, and instant messaging, which have traditionally been forms of communication targeted at clinicians (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018, p. 190). • A major barrier to widespread adoption of educational opportunities for patients among American healthcare providers is the fact that reimbursement mechanisms for electronic health care interventions are inadequate or nonexistent. The goal of the interactive behavior change technology is to improve communication between patients and healthcare providers and to provide educational interventions that promote better disease management between office visits (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018, p. 335). • Once the technology is integrated into the organization, biomedical engineers can become valuable partners in promoting patient safety through appropriate use of these technologies. For example, in one organization, the biomedical engineers helped to revamp processes associated with the new technology alarm systems after they discovered several key issues: slow response times to legitimate alarms and multiple false alarms (promoting alarm ........................................................................CONTINUED........................................................................
