Tip: Cite EHR benefits to rally support for implementation

EHR Connection, February 25, 2008

Successful EHR implementation requires support, enthusiasm, and participation throughout your facility, but without total management buy-in, implementation is likely to be an uphill battle.

So, get all of your organization's decision-makers on your side right from the start by citing these potential benefits when planning and seeking their support for EHR adoption:

• Lower coder absenteeism rate
• Need for fewer full-time clerical employees
• Greater coder productivity
• Reduction in discharge-not-final-billed
• Remote access to scanned records
• Reduced hours of operation in the HIM department

This tip is brought to you by the February issue of Medical Records Briefing.
