Cerner Workflow Session Remuneration Application

Please note that even though funding requests may fall within the Facility Engagement funding guidelines, they are not guaranteed for approval. Funding requests must be in alignment with current RH MSA’s priorities and approvals are dependent upon available funds. Approvals are for a limited time and are for sessions that have a clear clinical aim or topic of discussion. Physician participants must complete and submit a post meeting/event survey by the requested deadline to have their FEMS claim approved.

RH MSA maintains independence from pharmaceutical company support and does not provide FE funding when there is pharmaceutical company involvement in any medical staff activity. Disclosure of pharmaceutical company involvement is required to support transparency and accountability in the use of FE funds.

Background:

Richmond Hospital Medical Staff Association (formerly Richmond Hospital Physician Society) recognizes the importance of having open conversations and a shared understanding of workflows for different groups and using Cerner effectively as a team. These sessions are intended to provide space and time to improve your workflow on Cerner as a team in order to ultimately improve patient care at Richmond Hospital.

Cerner Workflow is put forth to engage in conversations as they contribute to the success of the clinical services that are delivered at Richmond Hospital.

Priority and approval will be given to requests that are in line with RH MSA’s priorities as defined by the 2019 Memorandum of Understanding and our member(s)’ input. These are to:

Improve physician collaboration amongst themselves with the goal of improving collaboration and communication with the Health Authority
Provide time and space for physicians to discuss clinically relevant issues
