Part 3 of ALN Medical Management's 4-Part EMR Educational Series

Though the level of EMR adoption in independent practices is relatively low, there are many practices that have been using an EMR for years.  They have made mistakes, have met great challenges and learned many lessons. Understanding the experiences of others that have gone before you will better prepare you for the journey.  

Join us for the third of our four part EMR series and hear from Dr. Markham McHenry, DO Comprehensive Family Medicine, about his personal experience with selecting, implementing, and using an EMR in his practice.  Dr. McHenry will describe how and why he made the decisions he made, his lessons learned from the implementation process, and what his practice is like now that his EMR is woven into the fabric of his day to day operations.
