Abstract
An understanding of workflows is fundamental to designing information technology solutions to advance patient care, as these solutions must integrate into the workflow. As a precursor to developing a clinical documentation system, our large healthcare system undertook the task of defining important workflows. We began in 2007 with the formation of a Clinical Workflow Action Team to oversee the defining of workflows and the clinical processes and data flows that would support safe, effective and efficient patient care. The action team and various sub-teams invited clinicians from across the enterprise to discuss ideal workflows.
