Your EHR Guide

The bedrock of successful EHR adoption is preparation. Readying your staff, your practice, and yourself for the change will maximize the benefits of the system for your practice and your patients.

Your EHR Guide

Unfortunately, there is no one “best” EHR system for all physicians. Only you can decide which system best fits your practice and the patients you serve. But we can help you figure it out.

Your EHR Guide

Finding the right EHR deserves celebration, but don’t underestimate the effort required to get it up and running in your practice. You'll make some changes to it... and it will make some changes to you.

Your EHR Guide

Implementing an EHR system in your practice is not the end of the road, just the beginning of your journey. The Center can help you create a high performance digital practice.

Meaningful Use

 

Family physicians across the nation are beginning their journey toward Meaningful Use via the CMS EHR incentive programs. We can help guide you down the road, offering advice and tools for reaching every meaningful use milestone.
