EMR Costs and Benefits We hear a lot about the benefits of using an EMR - improved patient care, decreased medical errors, improved physician productivity, and better revenue cycle performance. But how do all of these benefits compare to the investment required to implement an EMR? How should you think about the total costs of adopting EMR technology from one-time costs to the ongoing costs? What benefits can you really realize in order to see a positive financial return on your investment? In this final installment of ALN's EMR series we review the financial costs and benefits associated with an EMR. Special guests Dr. David Ehrenberger, Broomfield Family Practice and Chief Medical Officer of Avista Hospital, and Doug Bach, CEO and Founder, HD Consult, deliver a real life look at their experiences with EMR investment and provide direction on the best approach to achieve a favorable financial return. Key Topics • The cost model: everything that needs to be considered • Tangible benefits: what is real and what is fiction • Intangible or hard to quantify benefits • The challenges of realizing benefits • Setting expectations for payback timing • Measuring and reporting the ROI results Slide PresentationClick here to request a copy of this slide presentation.Related Topics |
