Therefore, when looking into improving clerical productivity as a whole, more emphasis should be placed upon these three activities. 3 3) differences in the day, evening, and night shifts for each unit.

9 Using the data collections forms (see Appendix A), we totalled all the checks made by the clerks for each activity, and calculated the percentage of 7 Figures 3 and 4 show the General and Intensive Care Unit Models. Although the frequencies between units are quite similar, the biggest differences include greater receptionist duties in the ICU and a greater midnight shift. and evening, and much greater processing of medical records during the respectively show the Day, Evening, and Midnight Shift Models. The biggest differences between shifts include greater receptionist duties during the day processing of orders in the General Care Unit.

From the CAM, we determinçd the three most important clerks activities; this model is called the Clerical Activities Model (CAM) Day, Evening, and Night Shift Models, 2) a combination of all shifts for each We formulated distributions of: 1) each shift for all units, which produced us to form distributions of the frequency of performance for clerical duties. each activity per unit, per shift, and combinations of the two. This enabled unit, which produced the ICU and General Care Unit Models, and 3) made a general model of all shifts and units combined to produce an overall view of feasible categories to consider computer implementation in, thus forming processing orders, medical records, and ordering supplies (see Figure 2).

A system that places the patient charts in the computer would greatly reduce the paperwork required, as well as increasing efficiency implemented into a computer system in order enable the clerks to work It is this group s recommendation that the patient charts eventually be activities are actually more significatnt. The activities of processing orders difficulty observed was the clerks management of these patient charts. clerical staff, the project team was able to discover that the most prevalent These charts contain almost every document a patient could possibly need records, the clerks have to spend time locating them. and medical records are centered around the patients charts and require a during his or her stay at the hospital; they can become quite large depending Therefore, in addition to processing orders and dealing with medical supplies/equipment/services make up the CCI model, but the first two Processing physicians /TPN orders and medical records, and ordering great deal of paperwork. By spending time observing and speaking to the doctors and nurses, they are often left accidentally all over the unit. old charts and opening new ones. Because the charts are also used by on the patient s length of stay. The clerks spend a great deal of time closing before the distraction. This, in effect, takes time and makes the clerks less continuously being interrupted by receptionist s duties. Since clerks are who would man the phones and would have face-to-face interactions with staffing change could be allocating receptionist duties to a separate person people. This recommendation is supported by the fact that clerks were Since a great deal of time is dealt with receptionist duties, a possible often being interrupted, they have to remember what they were doing efficient. For newer, i nfamiliar clerks, this would be even more time consuming. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
15 However, in order to ensure the success of computer implementation, the 13 orders would be processed through the computer This emphasizes the used by doctors and nurses to request appropriate actions. The terminals C long term scope of hospital patient care units, we feel that computerized patient charts would prove to be a great asset It should also be noted that there is a project presently being conducted, growing importance of taking advantage of high technology Thus, in the that the clerks would have access to would be part of this same system. All dealing with the installation of bedside computer terminals which would be effectively analyze the benefits and costs of computer implementation. would be evaluated in later studies that would use this report s information to An increase in the amount of time it takes to perform these activities could be the result, as well as a greater staffing requirement. These are issues that Another point of concern is that the number of activities being performing the reason being that work on a computer demands a great deal of attention. simultaneously will probably decline with further computer implementation, only enable clerks to be more productive with computers, but it would also delicate social issue could be the result. Therefore, providing the necessary after the installation of the iiew diet software packages within the units. information and training for clerks is again recommended; this would not already rather efficient in, has already resulted in some resentment and fear When dealing with a major expansion in computer implementation, a help clerks feel more comfortable with them. Changing the clerks environment, which they are familiar with and their own with their extended knowledge. and hardware. This could also in affect decrease the amount of clerical operators should be well educated in the aspects of basic computer software dependence for technical assistance and computer hardware and software maintenance because they would be better able to trouble shoot problems on the computer terminal). by having all the information conveniently accessible in one compact area (i.e.
