Editor's Notes
- ALIGNING IT WITH BUSINESS STRATEGY IS NOT ONLY FOR SUCCESS BUT ALSO FOR SURVIVAL.IT STRATEGIES HAS BEEN VIEWED AS KEY TO OBTAINING VALUE FROM IT INVESTMENTS
- YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A TECHNOPHILE OR A COMPUTER WHIZ TO KNOW HOW TO USE AN EMR SYSTEM THESE DAYS!.THE TANGIBLE, LONG TERM BENEFITS OF HIT INVESTMENTS CAN BE DIFFICULT TO CALCULATE.
- PUT IN EACH RELATED ICONS IN THE CIRCLE FOR EACH PRACTICEWHAT EMR SYSTEM ARE THEY USINGTRADITIONALCLIENT/SERVER INSTALLATIONSaaS
- HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (HIT)INTEGRATE ALL SYSTEMS WORKING WITH THE EMR SYSTEM (emr + image + billing + pharmacy + printing + scanning + lab)EVERY ASPECT OF A PROVIDER’S OPERATIONS --- FINANCIAL, CLINICAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE --- NEEDS TO SHARE INFORMATION SEAMLESSLY.HEALTHCARE COLLABORATION, SUSTAINABILITY FUTURE DEPENDS ON THIS GENERATION OF HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.
- In today’s connectivity and instant solution, the digitalization of data is constantly changing the way organization runs businesses and the way in which data are being shared and interchanged between related or non related organizations. And healthcare industry is no exception. Even though technology today is creating a massive change and disruption that have or will forever alter the way consumers and business interact. In today’s age, where we are seeing lighting-fast innovation from data digitalization, mobile applications, and self-service platforms, it is high time healthcare organizations take a huge steps in adopting to these technologies to collaborate and communicate.The adaption of technology, consumerization and digitalization of data are fundamentally changing us and healthcare organization are fast adopting.
- American Recovery and Reinvestment Act makes billions of dollars available to help health care providers implement electronic health records systems. It is of vital importance that the health care industry take the necessary action to use the information technology (IT) effectively and efficiently. Aligning IT strategies with the business strategy to create value for businesses is a necessary act not only for success but also for survival. TRANSITIONCONSIDER THE DIFFICULTY IN TRANSITION ----ARE YOU PREPARED?BE PREPARE TO ACCEPT THE NEW TRANSITIONCONSIDER THE BENEFITS AND ROI.IF YOU WANT TO EARN CMS (CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES) INCENTIVES --- YOU NEED TO PROVE MEANINGFUL USE OF YOUR EMR SYSTEM.MEANINGFUL USE – E-PRESCRIBING, EXCHANGING ELECTRONIC HEALTH INFORMATION TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF CARE, CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT.INCENTIVES ($40,000 TO $60,000 OVER 5 YEARS) FOR THOSE THAT SHOWS MEANINGFUL USE.SHOULD THESE INCENTIVES OFFERED BE A MOTIVATION?

- CHOOSING AN EMR – CHALLENGING TASKDO PLANNING/PROSPECTIVE RESEARCH BEFORE ADOPTING AN EHR.FACTORS TO CONSIDERMOST HER PROVIDERS OFFER BOTH CLIENT-SERVER BASED AND CLOUD-BASED HER SYSTEM THESE DAYS BUT AMONG, CLOUD BASED IS GAINING MOMENTUM AS I BELIEVE MORE PROVIDERS CHOOSE A CLOUD-BASED HER MODEL OVER A CLIENT-BASED MODEL.DEMO VERSION TESTING… ONLINE TESTINGEHR SUPPORTCUSTOMER SERVICES? – A MUST HAVELOT OF THINGS COULD GO WRONG --- THINGS CRASHES AND DON’T WORK
- GENERALLY, IN LIFE, IT’S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE SOMEONE TO GUIDE YOU IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES – MAYBE SOMEONE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE.IN THE COURSE OF CHOOSING THE RIGHT EMR – YOU PROBABLY WILL NEED TO APPLY THE SAME TERMINOLOGIES AS APPLIED TO LIFE.THERE ARE LOTS OF TECHNICALLY TO CONSIDER IN CHOOSING THE RIGHT EMR SYSTEM FOR YOUR HEALTHCARE PRACTICES.THOROUGH INVESTIGATION BEFORE PURCHASING EMR (HIT MARKETPLACE) ---DEVELOP AND HIT APPROACH AND STRATEGYWHAT TO CONSIDER----BUDGET – BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS.PLATFORM – COMFORT LEVEL WITH PLATFORMPROS AND CONSWHAT BETTER OPTION DO YOU HAVE???CAPITAL EXPENDITURE SMALL BUT OPERATIONAL BUDGET MORE FLEXIBLE – ASP MODELSPEED AND 100% RELIABILITY AS KEY ISSUE – CLIENT/SERVER MODEL

- PROVIDERS WILL EXPECT A MAX RETURN OF INVESTMENT IN DEPLOYING OF THEIR PRACTICES AT SUCH AN EXPENSE.COST OF EMR – COMMITMENT – HOPING FOR RETURN OF INVESTMENT (ROI)AFTER COMMITMENT, YOU DEFINITELY HOPE FOR RETURN OF INVESTMENTCHANGING TO AN EMR SYSTEM AND MAKING THE OFFICE PAPERLESS DEFINITELY REQUIRES A SIGNIFICANT LEARNING CURVES BUT WILL IT BE WELL WORTH THE EFFORT. CONSIDERING THE FINANCIAL REWARDS THAT COMES FROM THE ICENTIVES PROVIDED – I THINK YES!ASIDE FROM FINANCIAL REWARDS, THERE IS ---ABILITY TO WORK FROM HOME WITH THE WEB-BASED DEPPLOYMENT – CONSIDERING YOU DECIDED TO GO FOR THAT INSTEAD OF THE CLIENT-SERVER DEPLOYMENT WHICH IS HIGHLY LIMITED IN ACCESSIBILITY AND MOBILITY. – REVIEW LABS, CATCH UP WITH NOTES, IMPROVE PATIENT CARE BY ACCESSING NOTES FROM ANYWHERE.ROCESS IMPROVEMENTPATIENT SAFETY –MISSED DISGNOSIS, FATAL DRUG INTERACTION, INAPPROPRIATE TREATMENTCOMMUNICATIONSREGULATORY COMPLIANCEBILLING IMPROVEMENTS - SIMPLIFIEDREDUCING AND REALLOCATING RESOURCES – MATERIALS/STAFFINGPATIENT FLOWCROSS INDUSTRIAL SOLUTION FOR ONLINE TRANSACTIONSMOOTH INTEGRATION WITH CLINICAL AND BUSINESS OPERATIONSIMPROVED HEALTH DATA MANAGEMENT AND REPORTING
- EHR LOOKS LIKE A PROMISING WAY FOR THE FUTURE IN HEALTHCARE – IT’S THE WAVE FOR THE FUTURESMALL PRACTICES – ASP/SaaS – WEB-BASSED.LARGE ENOUGH TO AFFORD IT DIRECTOR COST - $60,000 – MAINTAIN SOFTWARE AND EQUIPMENT.MORE PRACTICE TODAY ARE MOVING/OPTING FOR CLOUD-BASED EHR. LIMITED HARDWARESIGNIFICANT LOWER UPFRONT COST.VERY ATTRACTIVE PROS.CLIENT SERVER STILL GOOD AND ACTIVE BUT THE IN FUTURE, PROVIDERS WILL BE USING THEIR EHR IN CLOUD.IF YOU CANNOT GET A REASONABLE FAST INTERNET CONNECTION, WHETHER VIA CELLULAR, DSL, OR CABLE – THEN DO NOT USE A CLOUD-BASED SOLUTION. – BUT THERE AE FEWER PRACTICES THAT CANNOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET AT A DECENT SPEED THESE DAYS.
