Cerner Configuration for Surgery

Pre-Implementation Phase

Identify key stakeholders involved in the surgery configuration process

Define the scope and objectives of the surgery configuration project

Establish a timeline for the configuration process

Allocate resources and assign responsibilities to team members

Data Gathering and Analysis

Collect relevant data related to surgery workflows and requirements

Analyze current processes and identify areas for improvement

Identify any specific customization needs or preferences

System Configuration

Evaluate the existing Cerner system and determine if any modifications are required for surgery module

Configure the surgery module according to the identified requirements

Set up surgical specialties, procedures, and associated codes

Define preferences for surgical scheduling, resource allocation, and inventory management

Integration and Interoperability

Ensure seamless integration of the surgery module with other Cerner modules (e.g., electronic health record, laboratory, pharmacy)

Test interoperability with external systems such as medical imaging or billing systems

Establish interfaces and data exchange protocols as needed

User Training and Support

Develop training materials and conduct training sessions for end-users, including surgeons, nurses, and administrators

Provide ongoing support and assistance to users during the implementation phase

Address any issues or concerns raised by users and provide necessary guidance

Testing and Validation

Conduct comprehensive testing of the surgery module to ensure functionality and accuracy

Perform end-to-end testing of surgical workflows and processes

Validate the configuration against the defined requirements and specifications

Make necessary adjustments or enhancements based on testing results

Go-Live and Post-Implementation

Plan and execute the go-live process for the surgery module

Monitor system usage, performance, and user feedback after the implementation

Conduct post-implementation reviews to assess the effectiveness of the surgery configuration

Address any post-implementation issues or fine-tune the configuration as required

Note: The checklist provided above is a general guideline and can be customized based on specific requirements and preferences of the organization implementing the Cerner surgery configuration.
