EMR usability, as well as the efficiencies of a well-built EMR, are hugely important for physicians. Join our panelists to discuss how they build a culture of partnership between physician and clinician users, and IT personnel, to drive a quality EMR experience, increase EMR engagement and helping users focus on opportunities for EMR success in their organizations.
 
Discussion topics include:

  • Developing a non-bureaucratic governance structure that allows for changes to be made quickly to the EMR when needed
  • How they developed initial training programs, recognizing that the quality and duration of initial training are the top predictors of an individual’s EMR success
  • Building a culture of sharing, continuing education to support mastery of the EMR and helping clinicians become superusers by training them not only to successfully get data into the EMR but also to efficiently get data out of the EMR
  • Building a quality EMR – cutting through the hype and choosing a vendor that work for their organization, based on best practices and feedback from the users

How will the telehealth revolution continue to evolve in a our new world---or at least in one where in-person visits get back on track? This is a key question that could shape this healthcare sub-sector for years to come, particularly given the many virtual care-based flexibilities and waivers granted by CMS in the face of the pandemic. We talk to the leaders in this space who offer valuable insights into what the future looks like, and when they believe telehealth will simply be a part of “health.”
