Free Special Report: The End of the Paper Trail
EHR Connection, November 14, 2005
Those who are on their way to the end of the paper trail and those who have already reached it agree: The first step to a successful EHR project is planning. Facilities that recognize that HIM professionals know medical records best have a better shot at success than facilities that assign this project elsewhere. It just doesn't make sense to migrate to an EHR without HIM.
HIM staff can prevent mistakes from the outset. For example, HIM can prevent dual processes, says David Brailer, MD, PhD, national coordinator for HIT. President Bush appointed Brailer to the office in May 2004 to lead the way to widespread deployment of HIT within 10 years. HIM professionals know what to do with records, how they flow through the systems, who uses them, who has access to them, and how to release information appropriately.
