Physicians Groups: High-Value Business Processes

As the country begins to address the healthcare issues outlined in the economic stimulus plan, a primary focus is on collection and access of personal health information through Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology. The new plan places a priority on provider EHR adoption through financial incentives designed to pave the way for access to this technology.

Solutions that enable hosting and remote access to EHR and practice management systems for ambulatory providers are critical to the success of this national initiative. While there is no doubt that the advantages of a comprehensive EHR solution are numerous, the complexities and implementation costs are challenging for many healthcare providers.  Even though the stimulus package is designed to help fund core EHR solutions, the infrastructure required to host and access such a system may be prohibitive in many provider settings.

Remote hosting solutions for EHRs/EMRs may provide the best answer to help providers meet new regulatory guidelines and take advantage of significant incentives. Using a remote hosting service provider offers significant benefits:

Simple deployment and short implementation with a quick Go Live – a system can be up and running in 30 days

• No up-front costs and predictable incremental costs
• No capital investment
• No hardware support required
• No learning curve for IT staff

As a provider it’s important to maximize the full range of fiscal and technological benefits this exciting new economic stimulus package can offer your organization.
