- Discuss the rationale behind two hospitals choosing different attesting schedules for meaningful use, yet making the emergency department information system (EDIS) EHR a core component of their enterprise integration strategy to achieve compliance
- Identify successful hospital information system and EDIS-integrated functions critical to creating an efficient data exchange, provider-to-provider communications, hospital-physician alignment, higher quality of care and other goals to achieve meaningful use.
- Describe implementation strategies in which an EDIS provides significant leverage to show meaningful use in areas of CPOE, medication reconciliation, lab reporting, quality reporting, discharge instructions, patient education and clinical summaries
- Recognize why an automated emergency department is the hospital's preferred launching point for real-time data collection, system integration and patient engagement in healthcare
