Dear Healthcare Executive:
By improving the efficiency and quality of health care services, electronic health records (EHRs) have been hailed as the promising new component of America’s future health care industry. However, due to cost and other perceived implementation obstacles, the overall impact of EHRs on the health delivery system has been muted, and the new technology can still be regarded as a luxury rather than a necessity for many health care providers.
The reluctance to embrace EHR technology seems likely to be replaced with real enthusiasm, given that the new stimulus package strongly promotes rapid EHR adaptation. With a structural approach to EHR adaptation embodied in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), the time has finally arrived for many hospitals and other eligible professionals to start or accelerate implementation of EHR technology. The ARRA sends a clear and powerful message to health care providers nationwide.
Since studies have shown that implementing an EMR system in your organization can help prevent medical mistakes, and improve the quality of clinical decisions, there is an urgent need to start adopting the latest EMR strategies to improve quality and efficiency, reduce cost, eliminate errors, and increase customer retention. ACI’S Best Practices in Electronic Health Records Conference addresses all these issues.
Join us November 18-19, 2010 in Boston, MA for a gathering of healthcare professionals, providers, hospitals, healthcare systems, and state and federal health departments. This strategic business forum will highlight strategies for EMR Adopting and Use within Healthcare Organizations. This conference will show attendees how to overcome the challenges implementing an EMR system, offer best practices in integration, streamline clinical processes, establish training guidelines for staff and personnel, and how to benchmark your success of the EMR system.
