EHR Implementation at Community Medical Center: Investigating Vendors The Director at the hospital assigns you a very important task in rolling out an EHR: investigating vendors. She recommends researching different vendors. The two of you discuss some important questions to determine what is needed to meet your organization’s needs: What software and hardware is needed to implement an EHR? What features of an EHR are must-haves? What features are strong wants, but not absolutely necessary? What does one vendor have that the other doesn’t? Your budget has a limit. Will this vendor meet your budget? Compare alternatives: The lower-cost product does not have a physician order component, which means physician orders will be hand-written and you will have to scan them to add to the EHR. The mid-cost product does not link to diagnostic reports. The higher-cost product gives you the convenience of a fully electronic record but at a price. You still must budget for scanners, because you know there are still paper documents that the HIM department receives that will need to be added to the EHR. Deliverable: 1. In your initial post, research and evaluate two different vendors recommend one of them to the Director, and add the reasons why you picked one vendor over the other. 2. In at least one of your responses to your classmates, evaluate their decision and either recommend actions for them OR debate why they chose a certain vendor. https://www.nextech.com/ophthalmology/ehr-pm-software https://www.ehrinpractice.com/eyemd-emr-software-profile-581
I know we are to look for a hospital EHR, but I am not in that field. I am in the ophthalmology field. I have had a conversation with our provider about implementing an EHR and what kind we should try to invest in. So, while I was looking, I found that NEXT Tech EHR is the one that seems to be the best fit for our office. One thing the doctor expressed was his inability to “draw” in an EHR with NEXT Tech he would be able to draw and connect all of the testing machines to this particular EHR. We would need a little additional technology such as additional laptops or iPads. The other option I found is EyeMed. This is another great option, this system has many of the same features as NEXT Tech except for the ability to draw in the patient's chart. Both of these systems require additional technology in the office.
