Finding An Electronic Health Record System For Your Future—OPEN MINDS Announces Seminar On Best Practices In EHR Selection, Contracting & Optimization At The 2022 OPEN MINDS Executive Leadership Institute
Gettysburg, Pa. (May 2, 2022) — On Tuesday, October 4, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET, OPEN MINDS will present live, “Finding An Electronic Health Record System For Your Future: An OPEN MINDS Executive Seminar On Best Practices In EHR Selection, Contracting & Optimization.” This executive seminar is designed for any executive who is considering a new electronic health record (EHR) system—whether it is your organization’s first EHR, or the upgrade of a system that isn’t delivering the functionality needed for sustainability. It will be led by OPEN MINDS Senior Associates, Joseph P. Naughton-Travers, EdM, and Sharon Hicks, MBA, MSW.
Over the past twenty years the adoption of EHRs has changed how health services are managed and delivered. But as the health care system has continued to evolve with more value-based reimbursement, the push towards integrated care coordination, and the rise in consumerism, the technology infrastructure needed by provider organizations has changed—including EHRs. For most executives, the EHR is a major investment and choosing the right system (or keeping the wrong system) can make or break any organization.
The seminar will cover:
- A best practice model for assessing the tech functionality your organization needs for future success.
- Steps for vetting vendors and their products and services.
- Budgeting for EHR software and implementation.
- Ensuring best value and performance in contract negotiating.
