EHR Implementation Guide, Fourth Edition (Fully-updated with new stats, new case study, and MACRA, MIPS, and ACI information).
In 2017, Electronic Health Record (EHR) utilization will become even more important with the implementation of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA). Advancing Care Information (ACI) will effectively absorb what was known as “meaningful use,” and will contribute to a composite score in the new Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). ACI will focus on EHR use to track and appropriately share patient information for continuity of care that should lead to improved outcomes — not to mention the EHR’s value in tracking and reporting quality data, another component of MIPS.
This new edition will guide you through the process of successfully implementing Health Information Technology (HIT) into a medical practice, and show how it can bring improvements in the quality of patient care and profitability. This guide offers a nontechnical view of the steps necessary for the successful introduction of HIT with an emphasis on the needs of smaller practices. It is a perfect handbook for physicians, practice managers, and administrators considering adoption of an EHR system.
