EMR Strategies
Realizing value from investments in electronic medical records and taking advantage of ARRA HITECH Stimulus funding requires heath systems to do more than bolt CPOE onto existing systems. Successful organizations are objectively evaluating their current progress toward the electronic medical record and considering new strategies to prepare for new opportunities presented by the HITECH Stimulus.
We have partnered with Maestro Strategies, a nationally recognized healthcare strategy consulting firm, to help our clients answer such questions as:
• What incentive payments and grants might be available to your health system and medical staff?
• What is the return on investment of your current investment in EMR technology?
• How much additional investment is necessary to reach incentive thresholds?
• What is your readiness to move to the next stage of EMR adoption?
• How prepared is your medical staff to meet incentive requirements?
• What is your organization's own definition of "meaningful use?"
With Maestro Strategies, we have developed a package of services to help our clients prepare for the HITECH Stimulus, including:
• The EMR Value Assessment™
• Physician practice readiness assessment
• Economic analysis
• Grant assessment and monitoring
• Senior management and board education
• Strategic plan update
• Program management and support
