We are all a part of the future of EHR
We all understand that the Electronic Health Record is an inevitable step in the ongoing improvement of healthcare. The benefits are many; reduced errors, improved clinical decision-making, improved clinical processes, improved care coordination, secure storage and access in the event of an emergency, etc. The list goes on. And with the development and implementation of HIE’s in conjunction with EHR, we will see an astounding improvement healthcare coordination. This is a situation where the more we participate, the better it will get. But it will require the participation from all of us. The primary challenge is a goal to accomplish this by 2015. Fortunately, the industry and the federal government are working together to make this a change that can be managed. You and HealthPOINT are integral pieces in that change.
