·
Project Director: The Project Director is responsible for the
planning, execution and day to day operation of the project, and is therefore
accountable for the project team meeting its goals and objectives. The Project
Director will be assisted in this role by a Project Manager who will be responsible
to day to day project planning and management of the GLIDES project. The
Project Director and Project Manager will be responsible for preparing the
major report outputs of the project, and will also direct the Quality Assurance
review program.
·
Decision Support Council: The Decision Support Council (DSC) is
the steering committee for the project. The DSC will monitor and review the
design, development and implementation deliverables produced by the project
workgroups to ensure that they are contributing to the successful attainment of
the project.s goals. The DSC will perform this role through regular oversight
meetings, and will also support the Quality Assurance review work for the
project, which is described in section 2.7.
·
Guideline Transformation Group: The Guideline Transformation
Group (GTG) is responsible for the translation of knowledge in clinical guidelines
into computable formats. The GTG will apply the GuideLine Elements Model (GEM)
and its related tools to transform the knowledge contained in the selected
evidence-based clinical practice guidelines into a standardized format.i.e.,
XML based on the GEM Schema Standard (ASTM E2210-06). The tools the GTG will use
are non-proprietary and will be made available on the YCMI website. The GTG
will carefully document progress, issues, and obstacles and use them to define
a set of best practices which can be shared with the local implementation
groups to ensure the best chance of effective implementation of the transformed
knowledge in the local ambulatory systems and clinical workflows.
·
Implementation Groups. The Implementation Groups (IGs), at both
Yale and Nemours, will be responsible for incorporating the computable
knowledge into the EHR systems in use at those sites, and for optimizing the
tools for measuring and improving quality of care. The IGs will include
Clinician Experts and other users as well as Information Technology specialists
and Quality Management experts. The IGs will customize the implementation
package prepared centrally by the GTG to tailor it to local workflows, systems
and operating conditions. The IGs will work closely with the GTG to ensure
that the local implementation does not deviate materially from the purpose and
intent of the centrally prepared knowledge. The technical staff on the IGs
will be responsible for preparing the CCHIT-related project reports.
·
Evaluation Group: The EG will include representatives from both
Yale and Nemours and will work with the GTG and IGs at all stages to collect
and analyze data from the project. The EG will provide feedback to the Project
Director, DSC and other workgroups regarding project successes and obstacles.
The EG will be responsible for preparing the major evaluation report outputs of
the project, and will also participate in the Quality Assurance review program.
