EHR: Overview, Implementation and Lessons Learned

This class is ideal for sites that are beginning the EHR preparation process and want to see it in the clinical practice setting. Clinical staff will demonstrate a patient visit from start to finish. There are presentations from the nursing staff, physician, pharmacy, lab, diabetes program/case management, and coding staff. Attendees will break into small groups and visit with specific departments including Pharmacy, Physician, Nursing, Medical Records, Computer Support, Dental, Coding and Billing. Experience EHR first hand: practice entering lab, pharmacy, nursing orders, and progress notes in the EHR training lab. Discuss preparations, process issues, lessons learned and understand metrics that are used to evaluate EHR. As a result of having attended this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Gain insight on utilizing the Indian Health Service Electronic Health Record in the ambulatory practice setting.
  • Describe preparations, roles & responsibilities, policies & procedures that are essential for EHR implementation and success
  • Practice using the Electronic Health Record to document a simulated patient visit
  • Identify metrics that can be used to measure the impact of the Electronic Health Record
  • Describe potential Risk Management Issues
