EMR/EHR Software Implementation: Project Planning

The decision to implement an electronic health record (EHR) is one of the most important decisions for your health care organization or physician practice. The transition to an EHR system changes everything. Nearly every business process is impacted with the EHR implementation, including registration/admission, scheduling, documentation, billing, patient follow-up, and communication within and external to your organization. Considering the profound change this implementation generates, your organization needs a clear road map to ensure a successful transition that will capitalize on the quality, safety, financial, and process benefits of the implementation.
