Optimize or Replace your EHR - Webinar By MentorHealth October 17, 2012

Overview: Are you ready to address the challenge of maximizing the benefits of EHR technology? Do you have an EHR that you are not fully utilizing? Are you realizing the benefits an EHR can deliver, especially in the analysis of clinical data?

This session will present the method for collecting clinical data and presenting information to providers to facilitate the adoption of protocols and standards. The framework will position your practice success with clinical performance contracting. This 60-minute program features best practices and real-world examples of how medical practices can fully optimize their EHR investments, including how to implement for meaningful use incentives, or determine that their EHR must be replaced.

Why should you attend: Is your EHR implementation successful? Have you measured the ROI on your EHR investment? Have you eliminated transcription costs? Have you reduced medical records staff? Do you still hunt for charts? Can you data mine for drug recalls? Can you easily and accurately identify patients overdue for follow up care or screenings? Do physicians leave the office on time most days? Have you reduced your staffing and supplies costs? Have you increased charge capture and/or improved coding support for billing? Have you eliminated legibility issues? Do you have remote access to patient information such as medications, test results, the last note? Do you use the EHR to track outstanding orders for results? Have you reduced phone calls from pharmacies? Does your staff address patient phone calls without taking messages and playing phone tag? Can you gather clinical information to participate in pay for performance programs?
