Physician adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs) has become
a national priority. It is said that EMRs have the potential to
greatly improve patient care, to provide the data needed for more
effective population management and quality assurance of both an
individual practice's patients and well as patients of large health
care systems, and the potential to create efficiencies that allow
physicians to provide this improved care at a far lower cost than
at present. There is currently a strong U.S. government push for
physicians to adopt EMR technology, with the Obama administration
emphasizing the use of EMRs as an important part of the future of
health care and urging widespread adoption of this technology by
2014. This timely book for the primary care community offers a
concise and easy to read guide for implementing an EMR system.
Organized in six sections, this invaluable title details the
general state of the EMR landscape, covering the government's
incentive program, promises and pitfalls of EMR technology, issues
related to standardization and the range of EMR vendors from which
a provider can choose. Importantly, chapter two provides a detailed
and highly instructional account of the experiences that a range of
primary care providers have had in implementing EMR systems.
Chapter three discusses how to effectively choose an EMR system,
while chapters four and five cover all of the vital
pre-implementation and implementation issues in establishing an EMR
system in the primary care environment. Finally, chapter six
discusses how to optimize and maintain a new EMR system to achieve
the full cost savings desired. Concise, direct, but above all
honest in recognizing the challenges in choosing and implementing
an electronic health record in primary care, Electronic Medical
Records: A Practical Guide for Primary Care has been written with
the busy primary care physician in mind.
