Part I: Health Information Technology Basics
In Part I, we provide you with an overview of what, exactly, an EHR is and does. You find out about the scope of the EHR: who uses it, where they use it, and why they use it. You also read about factors related to moving to an EHR, including how to consider your office infrastructure, figure costs and benefits, and research vendors. Chapter 1 discusses how this impending change will affect the people most important to your practice: employees and patients. Chapter 2 covers the different electronic recordkeeping options, including the typical EHR, e-prescribing, practice management and billing systems, and personal health records. Chapter 3 — all legislation, all the time — offers you basics about health information legislation and its impact on EHRs.
