Change is "planned" into the project... thereby enabling the ability to “Manage it”

Introduction

In any project that changes the way an organization functions, there will be members of the organization who do not want the changes to occur. Change Management then becomes one of the most important processes in the successful implementation of the project.

The InHCc System provides information such that all variables can be evaluated continuously, over time, and over locations, no matter what the starting point to calculate trends and predict the future.

The InHCc System collects information that is practical and useful in management for change. The InHCc System is designed not only to provide clients with what they require now, but also is designed to discover and identify new areas of care that clients may need in the future.

InHCc is not concern with the "way physicians think" or the static "gold standard" design but rather with how to manage our changing environment. It is only through the collection of large amounts of data over time that informed decisions regarding policies, programs and practices can be made; it is only through analyzing process flows that efficient organizational and management structures be created; and it is only though data analysis that effective financial and resource allocations system be put in place. This implies that the way the data is organized and its structure must also change over time.

No two physicians think the same way and what doctors think depends on where they went to school, who there professors were, the culture where they first practices, and how lazy they are. And it is especially true that the way physician practice in the US is different that England and different than in Cuba. It is also true that most physicians today have never used an Health management system and an electronic system is NOT a paper based system.

This InHCc System provides the information needed to understand the relationships of all internal and external events occurring between the client and his or her environment. It is NOT the one single client healthcare record that should guides health care management but rather it is the information COLLECTED FROM ALL SOURCES including data from external to the organization

Any new project calls for changes in ways users use, collect, and interact with their data. Change is extremely difficult to manage, and the way that that management is directed can either mean the success or failure of the new project.

                Most People do not like change

Provides Concurrency of information

All information is current to all users of the InHCc system. Summarized data can be viewed for any selected time period. If any additional information is needed, the detail data (individual client visit) that makes up the summarized data can be view with only a click of the mouse. Any abnormal event can be investigated from any level of the InHCc system.

When clients are being cared for at two or more locations, information is downloaded from the central database to each location caring for that client. As new information is entered into the local units this information is replicated to the central database. This information is then updated on all local units that care for that client. Therefore each local unit will have their own updated information on the client from all sources that care for that client.
