An EHR transformation touches virtually every aspect of a medical practice and brings about an entirely new way of thinking and managing a practice. Regardless of where you are at in your EHR implementation journey--adopting a new EHR or trying to optimize an existing EHR, the Complete Guide and Toolkit to Successful EHR Adoption explores the process in a practical, easy-to-follow way, offering proven strategies for success. This book presents methods for developing an implementation plan and project budget, selecting the right vendor and preparing one's medical practice for transitioning from paper records.
This book also addresses federal standards and policies to ensure readers fully understand compliance requirements and the opportunities to take advantage of financial incentives for implementing an EHR. Special features include tips on EHR adoption strategies from experts and early adopters focused on four key areas: EHR readiness, vendor selection, implementation and optimization and enhancements. Also included are sample easy-to-use assessment tools to assist medical practices as they undertake an EHR implementation; these tools include project staffing models, EHR readiness assessment tools, vendor vetting tools and a return-on-investment calculator, as well as a list of ambulatory-focused resources.
