Synopsis: EHR implementation is not a single project, but rather a series of initiatives that represent more of a journey than a destination. This new book offers practical help for that journey - with an examination of implementation challenges and solutions and their impact on clinical processes. Written by physicians, nurses, IT professionals and academicians, this book brings a hands-on perspective to the challenges and solutions of EHR implementation. Twenty case studies illustrate how a variety of types of organizations have approached some of the more challenging implementation issues. The chapters in the book cover the critical steps of EHR implementation: planning the EHR; acquiring the ambulatory EHR; intake and assessment; provider order management; the medication process; clinical documentation and support; patient-provider; e-communication and portals; data sharing and interoperability; implementing the ambulatory EHR; and, making your EHR your legal health record.
