Program Description
The pressure to implement and optimize EHR technology quickly to achieve stimulus funding under the HITECH Act/ARRA is causing organizations to wonder if their IT departments are up to the task. Physician offices may seem to be simple organizations to support from an IT perspective. However, limited resources require that leadership and staff effectively balance the needs of the organization with system support requirements and provide expert project management, especially when implementing electronic health records (EHRs). With increasing physician consolidation creating larger ambulatory organizations and EHR technology's inherent requirements for organization-wide change management, many organizations are finding it difficult to keep up with growing organizational needs.
Program Topics
- Evaluating the technical and operational gaps of the environment with respect to achieving meaningful use required for stimulus funding under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
- Determining how your Information Technology (IT) department benchmarks against other ambulatory organizations to establish the appropriate level of staffing required to implement and optimize systems.
- Coaching the IT organization to adopt the skills necessary to implement systems effectively.
