A Time-Saving Guide to EHR Adoption

For a medical practice, nothing is more challenging and laborious than adopting Electronic Health Records (EHR). The transition from paper charts to electronic records requires so much time and money that only 50% of large hospital systems and 15% of small physician offices have made the switch. The lack of EHR implementation knowledge and resources has further compounded the high cost of conversion. How do you start the process and find all the necessary help?

EHR expert Thomas Wong reveals the tactics used by successful healthcare organizations in A TIME-SAVING GUIDE TO EHR ADOPTION. This book will guide you through a smooth transition to the benefits of EHR. While most of the changes will be positive, unexpected obstacles and transitional issues will need special attention.

Assess your EHR needs and budget for them accordingly
Assemble a project team to manage the implementation tasks
Select your ideal technology vendor out of the many available
Go live with your EHR and resolve all critical issues

You will enjoy higher productivity and better results when you use A TIME-SAVING GUIDE TO EHR ADOPTION to direct and motivate your project team through the different phases of EHR implementation. Your staff will be up and running with EHR sooner while your practice receives maximum return on the investment!
