ABSTRACT
Implementing an EMR is a major undertaking and involves a significant amount of change for HCOs. The overall effort is monumental. The stakes are high and this kind of investment is not made without the promise of a compelling return or benefit to the patients, caregivers, organization, and industry. HCOs seek increases in clinical quality and safety, revenue capture, and operational efficiencies. And ultimately, the EMR not only has to support the organization’s current needs but also should be scalable enough to grow with future transformational plans. This is no small feat.
