2. EHRs
• An Electronic Health Record (EHR) system helps a
practice in more than one ways
• From improving its workflows, cash flow, flow of
patients, achieving Meaningful Use to saving time
and meeting regulatory requirements, an EHR system
does a lot
• There are many other features of an EHR which help
a practice in its workflows

3. Features of EHR
• Increased patient volume
– Physicians are able to save a lot of time by using an EHR
system and can therefore see more patients in a shorter
amount of time
• Achieving Meaningful Use
– Practices which are using certified EHR systems can attest
for Meaningful Use and if they meet the criteria, can
qualify to receive incentive payments from the
government

4. Features of EHR
• Improved care quality
– Practices are able to deliver better care quality with the
help of EHR software, embedded knowledgebase and
workflow editor

can electronically enter all patient vitals, lab results,
radiology images, consultation letters and even voice files
into the system

thereby reducing tasking and transactions. They are also
able to eliminate redundant data entry with duplication
checks and merging features

eligibility checks, intelligent billing, claim checks and
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
