We
understand that EHR adoption is a huge effort
that demands significant changes in how a practice
operates. Some providers may experience downtime
in productivity, technical issues, and frustration
during the transition period. Over the years, we have
adopted a number of best practices to help ease
the pain and get things done effectively. Our work
approach consists of the following components.
Change
Management
Not only does an EHR project need good management, but it also needs broad stakeholder involvement, a
clear expectation, a plan for issue management,
and a commitment to reach the end goal of adopting
EHR. We facilitate the process by sharing best practices,
templates, and solutions from organizations that
have done it successfully.
Communication
and Feedback
Meaningful
use assessment and quality reporting are the tools
used to measure the success of an EHR implementation.
We also use them to guide the work process and to
provide feedback to each other. If there is a better
way to perform a task, we would do it or recommend
it to the providers. Status call meetings are carried
up routinely to ensure that all voices are heard
and all critical issues covered.
Collaboration
Studies
have shown that a vendor-led implementation approach
will not work for most practices. Most EHR vendors
recommend the use of experienced consultants to
work collaboratively with the providers in configuring
and customizing the functions of their systems.
We take the same approach in working with you. We
are your partner in automating your practice
workflow and computerizing your patient health records.
Process Automation
A
key benefit of using EHR is to convert paper media
into electronic format for easier access and less
errors. In addition, many of the routine tasks,
such as allergy check, health maintenance, and immunization
records can be automated. We work with you
to select and apply all those features that can
enhance productivity and efficiency of your practice.
Training
and Support
We use a number of ways to
train your staff on the new workflows, procedures,
and use of EHR. We are flexible with our work hours
and are available during lunch time and in the evenings,
in addition to regular work hours. We provide onsite
support, phone support, and help desk support. This
high level of services is provided to ensure that
you can get help when you need it during the transition.
