Show abstract
Objective: Develop a methodology to implement action plans that mitigate the negative impacts associated with the EHR implementation project and evaluate their effectiveness in reducing these issues. Methods: The research involved the development of mitigation plans for the potential negative impacts of implementing an electronic health record system, ensuring their execution and subsequently analyzing the effectiveness of the method. Results: Findings confirmed that 19.3% of 264 identified impacts were resolved through 52 plans before Go Live. During Go Live, the remaining 213 impacts were addressed through 337 plans. Six months later, 190 impacts were confirmed, and the plans were considered effective or partially effective in 80.5% of cases. Conclusions: Effective governance, a multidisciplinary methodology, and well-planned and executed actions increase the likelihood of success for health technology projects.
