Hospital EHR stakeholder map

A hospital EHR stakeholder map connects the people who fund, configure, use and experience an electronic health record. The executive sponsor gives the project authority, while the project manager coordinates the clinical and technical work. Physicians, nurses and pharmacy teams need different workflows to be safe and useful, so their links should show review, training and medication handoffs rather than simply reporting lines. Hospital IT and the vendor share responsibility for configuration and integration. A patient advisory council brings in the perspective of people who receive care. Mapping usability concerns as well as formal approvals helps the rollout team find resistance early and choose the right workshop, decision forum or training session. Revisit the map at each implementation phase as pilot teams and departmental leaders change.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why map EHR stakeholders?01
An EHR changes clinical, technical and patient-facing work, so the map helps teams see who must review, decide or adopt each change.
Should patients be included?02
Yes. A patient advisory group can identify communication, access and consent issues that internal teams may miss.
What relationships should be shown?03
Show sponsorship, configuration, workflow review, training, feedback and unresolved concerns rather than only organizational reporting lines.
