There are advantages and disadvantages to using different forms of hardware with EHR. Based on information provided by American Academy of Family Physicians, this tool helps clinics to think these through when selecting their EHR.

Advance care planning (ACP) helps ensure patient treatment preferences are documented, regularly updated and respected. This helps make the case that patients are getting what they want at end of life. ACP can start with a conversation and documentation of patient preferences during a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit. This implementation guide breaks down ACP and will help your practice create and refine your processes to support it.

The purpose of this document is to describe the critical roles that must be filled by key members of the EHR project team and to provide a general estimate of the required time commitments.

When implementing an EHR system, many documents that used to be paper-based will switch to being stored, transferred and/or reviewed in electronic format, fundamentally changing the way the office functions. This document assists clinics in thinking through their goals and considering potential issues before implementation begins.

The CMS Quality Payment Program website allows clinicians to search a comprehensive list of the Promoting Interoperability measures by year, including their documentation requirements.

This performance category promotes patient engagement and electronic exchange of information using certified electronic health record technology (CEHRT). CMS re-named the advancing care information (ACI) performance category to promoting interoperability (PI) to focus on interoperability, improving flexibility, relieving burden. This interactive webpage provides an overview about PI objectives and measures and how to report them. You can also use the online interactive tool to select your measures.

This document includes common issues encountered during implementation. Knowing the issues and possible solutions early in the process can ensure a smoother implementation.
