The implementation of electronic health records (EHR) is not a single project, but a series of initiatives that is best described as an ongoing journey, rather than a point of 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. 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 - Making the EHR your legal health record
