Title: Role of Design in EHR Systems
Summary: What use are EMR/EHR systems that don’t support the way healthcare professionals actually work? What does “meaningful use” really mean to the people who have to use the systems every day? Systems designed around features and functionality are unlikely to be intuitive, creative or flexible. “Meaningful Use” addresses features, functions, interoperability, and security but not workflow. The problem? Users are required to conform to system functionality rather than creating systems that support users. This session addresses design of an EHR system – and how health care providers influence design to support end use.
Title: Small Private Practices and EHR Adoption; Where to Begin
Summary: A small practice faces two critical questions: To hire an EHR consultant to help you with adoption? Or go it alone? In either case, this session addresses what to steps to consider and covers:
- Understanding the difference between an EHR and an EMR
- How to enlist the support of a Healthcare Technology Consultant
- If you elect not to engage a Healthcare Technology Consultant, how to engage your own “team”
- Mapping your practices Processes & Procedures
Title: Standards: The underlying infrastructure to the success of EHRs
Summary: The key to interoperability is the standards. Adoption of EHRs and meaningful use will rely on interoperability. Exactly where is the health care industry when it comes to standards? And who is leading the case for the right standards for the industry? Learn more about how standards addresses the issue of two opposing needs – A physician’s practical need for fast and easy methods for creating clinical documentation and the enterprise’s need for structured and coded information capture.

Title: DRT Enabled EHRs Webinar
Summary: Is a DRT enabled EHR system a solution to greater EHR adoption? Using a Discrete Reportable Transcription (DRT) a physician can use medical transcription, dictating clinical notes as usual, which then populate discrete data. Obviously this would reduce the data entry time as well as the training time. Over a period of time most of the current patients would be entered and the dictations can be phased out.
