EHR 2.0: Making Health Technology Work for You - EHR Users<br />
Group (Breakout Session B)<br />
Christi J. Inman, MD; University<strong>of</strong> Utah; Salt Lake City, UT<br />
Session Overview:<br />
The successful adoption <strong>of</strong> health information technology/<br />
electronic health record systems will serve rheumatology<br />
practices by supporting efforts to reduce risk, improve<br />
coordination for care, improve adherence to recommended<br />
guidelines, and improve health outcomes for patients. But for<br />
many practices, successfully selecting and implementing an<br />
electronic health record system can be difficult. Often in small<br />
groups or solo practices the clinician or administrator has little<br />
technical knowledge and access to limited resources. They don’t<br />
have a proven process, the tools, or the experience for selecting<br />
an electronic health record system and for fully integrating the<br />
system into practice workflows. As a result, many practices<br />
struggle to realize the financial and operational benefits <strong>of</strong> an<br />
electronic health record. The cost <strong>of</strong> failure will be high in terms<br />
<strong>of</strong> dollars and morale.<br />
Upon completion <strong>of</strong> this session, participants should be able to:<br />
• discuss the business cases for electronic health record systems<br />
that are relevant to rheumatology<br />
• describe the technology components that support improved<br />
quality and efficiency <strong>of</strong> care delivery in the rheumatology<br />
practice<br />
• articulate the effect <strong>of</strong> these technologies on improving<br />
patient care processes, enhancing clinical outcomes and<br />
promoting patient and practice safety<br />
